Dark Tales
This appeared in Star today. Thanks, Argus, for pointing it out! And thanks Daphne, for highlighting this book even though I know it's so NOT your thing :)
A funny thing happened the other day when I met Daphne for the first time. We were at Delish after a LitBlogger's meet and she came up to me and said, "I don't believe I've met you. I'm Daphne." I said, "I'm _____". And she was stymied: "YOU are _______? I've been editing you for years! You write for Star and Galaxie, don't you?"
Thank goodness she was gracious enough not to say "By the way, you were horrible to edit and I used to get nightmares whenever I get your copy."
See what a small world this is?

Daphne's great in person, I can attest to that. Very feisty lady, which reminds me of quite a few feisty lady writers I know, hehe.
Look for common ground, dear... both you and Daphne would probably have many notes to exchange on young adult books, for example. :)
Kenny, great minds must think alike because we've already exchanged notes long ago :) on email, before we ever met.
Daphne's constructive criticism is why I'm rewriting my children's book for the third time!
Hey X, when are you planning to do XXX, I mean DC3?
Only if DC2 can sell, TH! No point putting out a book if no one wants to read it :)
Xues. where can i find a copy of one of your books?
