New Path...

Happy to have been able to provide for my kids for the last ten years...that chapter of my life is over!
The flat we shared for the last ten plus years, is no more!
We have moved out.
One of my kids is now living in Chicago...the other in San Diego with me (temporarily).
What the future holds is unknown. However, one thing is for certain...it's all about me now.
My passions, my hopes and my dreams.
I am happy too!
Despite some of the unexpected turn of events in recent days, I'm happy.
More surprisingly, I'm hopeful!

I'll let you decide

Recently there have been a few music video's made regarding Games and Gamers.

Now I'm a gamer girlfriend and I'm a gamer too.

I like several of the recent music videos produced.

These two links are to sites with two of my favourites.

What do you think?

Fall Season 2010

My favourite time of year!

Gabby & Gator

James Burks and Me @ Comic Con 2010

I was fortunate enough to meet James Burks this year at Comic Con.

He has created a very clever graphic novel.
At first view of his black and white illustrations, in two other smaller publications, I knew the new book (Gabby & Gator) would be fantastic!

James is a very talented artist, animator and all around great guy! http://www.jamesburks.com/

His new book, due out in September 2010 (just weeks away) will capture your hearts!
Hardcover with 192 pages. This book is full of great illustrations and a story line that will stay with you even after you've closed the book!

Gabby & Gator is perfect for all ages!!

 I was lucky to receive an early released copy and have since read it several times to my students and even once to my boyfriend (yes, it's really that good).
They all love Gabby & Gator so much that I'm frequently asked to read it, nearly everyday!

I do hope you go and visit James' website soon http://www.jamesburks.com/
and pre-order your copy of this really fun book.
 Cheers~

James signing one of his books for me :)

and happy reading!
