About meFortyish feline freak and artist. My office used to be directly outside the YA section of our library which explains all the recent YA and J books. Now a proud owner of two :CueCats, I'm dreaming up new uses for the silly things! Love to knit but not purl. My favorite book from childhood is "Pickle Chiffon Pie" for which I did concoct a not too terrible recipe. Another favorite which was "found" for me again by a LT member, "Miss Jaster's Garden" an old lady, a garden, and a hedgehog.
About my libraryBooks currently on the shelves, books in the attic, and books from the libraries, collected and read over a period of 35? years.

We do seem to share a good variety of book titles.
BTW...another 'children's' book that you might enjoy:
"The Library" by Sarah Stewart, Pictures by David Small (1995)
ISBN 0-374-34388-8

In your "about me", section you are wanting the title for a book about
"an old lady, a garden, hedgehogs & lemonade"??
"Miss Jaster's Garden", written & illustrated by M.M.Bodecker, is about a hedgehog, and old lady & her garden.
Golden Press-New York (1972), Library of Congress Card Number: 70-182070.
'Hedgie' falls asleep in Miss Jaster's garden, gets sprinkled with flower seeds that stick in his quills. Later the flowers bloom on his back.
"Miss Jaster's Garden" was one of my favorites to read aloud to my granddaughter, and is among the books I've kept from my son & daughter's childhood books, plus favorites from my own childhood and from my mother's childhood library. Some children's books I've added to my collection just because I like the stories &/or the illustrations, especially those about cats!

I have Alan Dart's Dickensian Mice, and have won Tabby. I'm still bidding on things from that site. And I just ordered "Irresistible Gifts to Knit" by Alan Dart, from a link on the Simply Knitting website.
As I said in my message on your Alan Dart topic, check out Hansigurumi on www.etsy.com - and prepare to be amazed. She's fabulous!
I agree about Alan Dart's skills. Wow!

I am very proud of the following and wanted to share it with you:
In an article about new heros in young adult literature having to overcome fantastic obstacles where mere minor ones used to do, scheduled to appear in the November/December issue of ForeWord Magazine, Todd Mercer wrote:
Fear of kidnapping kept America’s richest, smartest orphan isolated since birth in Arnie Carver and the Plague of Demeverde, a series premiere from Kenneth R. Besser (RTMC Organization 978-1-934316-02-3). In the year 2024, Arnie takes on a false identity to safely attend a boarding school for supremely gifted students in a mid-Atlantic island nation. There he perfects skills in a team setting, while scrambling after the source of a Mad-Cow-related virus. This goodhearted, likable overdog, born to win everything anyway, miraculously elicits reader partisanship.

Like many other new authors in the world of fiction, who believe they have penned the next record-breaking book, I am trying to figure out how to make myself and my YA adventure novel series more known to kids ages 10 to 100. Even with a publisher behind me, it is difficult because publishers do not devote many marketing dollars to new authors. We are kind of left to twist in the wind to see how we will market ourselves using our own devices.
I do have a review coming out in the November/December issue of ForeWord, which should kick things up a little, but I need to find a way to offer myself and my series directly to YA readers and generate some buzz in their world.

As I was reading, it occurred to me that this would have been a much different book a decade ago -- events like Y2K (with the stockpiling; I was reminded forcibly of my grandmother, who is still working her way through the bins of food she stored up), 9/11, the 2004 tsunami, and particularly Hurricane Katrina must have influenced this writer a great deal.
