March Break

Just a wonderful break, and we didn't go far. A museum trek: The Aviation Museum, to get some dazzling photos for the website and take in the gargantuan aircraft. The Museum of Civilization, to gawk at the Egyptian exhibit--Ramses II statue, a couple of mummies and amazing artifacts. We took in a movie and a hockey game--the Senators even won! Like a holiday at home, but the sun was deceptive. It's still Ottawa, after all.

I'd like to thank Mrs. Shaheen's Grade 6 class for the incredible letters! I'm busy answering them, but it may take me a few days. I'm tickled pink that you enjoyed Time Meddlers so much. To answer a recurring question--No, Matt and Sarah are not based on anyone in particular. Although there may be a few traits that my kids and I share with them, they are entirely the product of my imagination. But I love them just the same.

Letters in the mail soon . . .

New Release Date

Actually,the release date has been moved up. We're now looking at a fall release, September 28. I hope everything will go according to schedule. In the meantime, I should be posting information about Time Meddlers Undercover on my website shortly. It will give you a comprehensive look at some of the research components of TMU. Hope you find it interesting.
