Okay, one merely <i>includes</i> cockroaches. AND I've blogged about all of them (yikes)! The first was <a href="http://christiewrightwild.blogspot.com/2011/10/dumpster-divers-are-environmentalists.html" rel="nofollow">Dumpster Diver.</a> And the second was <a href="http://christiewrightwild.blogspot.com/2011/11/this-weeks-read-4-luck-pick-is-martina.html" rel="nofollow">Martina, the Beautiful Cockroach.</a> <br /><br />This book is illustrated by Sonja Wimmer, the same talented lady who illustrated <i>The Word Collector</i>.<br /><br />Penny and Sandi, The princess and move star for girls and the cockroach for boys. Oxymoron that they even exist in the same book, I know, right? So much fun!<br /><br />Amy and Stacy, Running and writing definitely have parallels for me. And they always FIGHT for my time and attention. I have yet to figure out a way to give both the attention they each deserve. It's a constant battle, but I'm sure I'll eventually figure it out.Christie Wright Wildhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13656162315858480593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1071530951319652632.post-4659815627608869862012-05-11T21:52:35.175-04:002012-05-11T21:52:35.175-04:00Princess and cockroach - words that don't ofte...Princess and cockroach - words that don't often go together.

I am working on a story starring a beetle right now so I would love to take a look at this and see how the author handles it.<br /><br />And I'm a runner too, so I see the parallels between running and writing pretty much daily :-)<br /><br />Thanks, Christie!Amy Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10603444232866340533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1071530951319652632.post-90189713938146140402012-05-11T18:57:53.196-04:002012-05-11T18:57:53.196-04:00What an original story.
