Hi ho, MMMLOGerinos!

I received a glorious gift yesterday. Remember when I said I loved the Veronica Mars show on TV? Well, wonder of wonders, a writer from the show emailed me, saying thanks for blogging about my favorite show. Isn't that huge?!!

The teendrama is so cutting-edge and authentic, in my opinion, due in large part to the VM writer who kindly emailed me. She was a high school librarian and has been in the trenches out there in the public schools. Bless her and all those who are still teaching our kids. Not an easy job these days, if ever. But as they say--what doesn't kill you makes you stronger! And then you have all that good grist for the writer's mill. I'm still telling stories based on my experiences as a classroom teacher. My first two young adult novels also featured parents who were teachers, too. So the Veronica Mars former librarian/writer should have enough material to not only get Veronica graduated from high school this year but through her post-doctoral work at Stanford--if Veronica's wretched mother will stop drinking up and stealing her school money. Sheeesh!

Ooooo, I do love Veronica Mars, for it so presses my buttons and if a TV show doesn't do that--what the heck good is it?!

Ciao, ciao, MMMMMMMMMMelinda
