A contest

Anne just let me know about a contest she's having for a YA book. Since we are always on the look-out for a good book, I had to go check out the contest. Drop by her blog and check it out! It just happens that fantasy/sci-fi is the genre that we love in this house. I read all the Harry Potter and Narnia books out loud to my kids and they all enjoyed that. It would fun to have another great series to share with them. Thanks again for letting me know about this contest, Anne.

Trucker"s Life

My Dad's self published book of poetry. The book jacket reads: 'Trucker's Life, by poet Daren Flynn, is a breath of fresh air and authentic Americana. In a straightforward style, the poet sings the "Eighteen Wheel Truck Driving Blues" and the "Been Gone Too Long Trucker's Blues." He notes with irony that in a life characterized by mobility, the trucker misses the first step his baby takes. Out on the supply lines that link the country together, the trucker can hardly connect the pieces of his home life because he is "Never Home." In the poem titled "Trucking Is Tough," The poet tells with folk song resonance the hard-luck story of a hard-working friend. Flynn's poems tell how the lure of the road can be counterbalanced by the attractions of home.' Below will be selections from the book. If you are interested in purchasing a copy, leave me a comment with your e-mail and I will get in touch. Or contact my dad directly at truckerslife@hotmail.com Enjoy!
