cj Sez: If you’re in the Mobile, AL, area, here’s a (FREE) writer
and reader festival you won’t want to miss:
Attend a workshop, sit in on an author panel, admire the artistry of Maurice Sendak on display at the library, brown-bag it at the noon poetry readings, buy signed copies of local authors’ books. Whew! Lots of stuff to see and do. I hope to see you there.

At 2:00 a.m. this morning, you were supposed to “Spring
Forward” and set your clock one hour ahead to mark the beginning of Daylight Saving
Time. I remembered to do that before I went to bed Saturday night. Did you?
By the by, the Vernal Equinox, aka “Spring,” arrives on
Wednesday, March 20, promptly at 5:58 p.m. Eastern time…no clock adjustments
necessary.

Laissez les bons temps rouler!
“Oui, cher.”

There were 60
major parades in the area, and the one that impressed this writer most was the Infant
Mystics event—their theme was “Turn the Page.” All the floats were constructed
and decorated to feature a book. Way to go, Infant Mystics!

A last note on literary trusts from Jane Friedman:

That’s it for today’s post. You-all guys keep on keeping on,
and I’ll try to do the same.

Choosing Carter has a little mystery, a little adventure, and a little romance . . .
Bryn McKay has always tried to save her brother from his
risky choices, but a near-tragic truck accident landed him in prison and her in
the hospital. Now, a year later, he's converted to radical Islam and escaped,
vowing revenge on the people who put him there, including his sister.
