For those who lost their lives on that fateful day, and all who have lost them since in the fight against terrorism, we appreciate you, we love you, and we will not forget.

    As the ghost of MarkTwain is saying on my blog: tragedy has a long shelf life. Yet so many have their own private 9-11 that today is lost in the shuffle of those making political hay with a something so terrible it should be spoken of in whispers. Nice post today.

    Heather, we will never forget. You must meet this AA Captain.... Beverley... who was flying that day and her divert. This story shares her life story, and how her career ended up. But mostly what she experienced on that fateful day and the week following. http://tinyurl.com/occkorq

Rowling, The House of Night novels by P.C. Cast, The Golden Compass novels by Philip Pullman, and the Vampire Academy novels by Richelle Mead. There are so many more that it saddens me to go on. I've recently learned that my own novel, The Secret of Spruce Knoll, will not be carried in my most local bookstore because of an intense scene in it. I unde...
