The worst thing about the Net though, is that it provides more opportunity for people who should stay farther away! <BR/>Laura,<BR/>Glad you liked the trailer.

The transformation of the little Catholic school girl was chilling.<BR/><BR/>Hm. I'll go with George Harrison. The tap-dancing thing is just too good to make up.

I can't wait to get stuff done and get back to the book.<BR/><BR/>BTW, the video turned out really creepy. Now that I'm reading, I recognize characters from your book in the video on the screen. <BR/><BR/>The creepy part comes from how all-too-real it all is. My MIL used to counsel sex offenders, mostly guys who usually committed crimes of opportunity (stepdads or boyfriends). But that was because, when she did that job, most teens in her rural area did not have computers. It's still an economically depressed area, so teenagers at computers aren't as common as they are up here in the 'burbs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-21399473554592186612008-12-09T11:56:00.000-05:002008-12-09T11:56:00.000-05:00Thanks Hallie for such kind words, they really mea...Thanks Hallie for such kind words, they really mean a lot.

And in part it's because of the way you write kids. As a mother of two daughters, this is my worst nightmare, and you never trivialize or sensationalize what you're writing about. It always feels real. But I also love these books because they are FUNNY! Hallie has got an oddball take on the world, and it's great to spend 300 pages in her head.<BR/><BR/>BRAVA, Jan.<BR/><BR/>George Harrison was your FAVE??Hallie Ephronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04759439029582054503noreply@blogger.com
