Treasure Hunt! by Bertram's Blog on Nov 22, 2009Daughter Am I is a quest novel — a hunt for truth, a hunt for self, a hunt for gold — so what better way to celebrate the end of my Daughter Am I blog tour than with a treasure hunt! Unlike Mary, you don’t have to travel halfway across...

First Lines and Free Time by Bertram's Blog on Nov 16, 2009Can you believe it? This is the thirtieth day of my Daughter Am I blog tour! Only five days left. Oh, dear . . . what am I going to do with all that free time? As if I don’t know. For one thing, I’m going to get back to writing. I figure if I tel...

Musings From My Notebooks by Bertram's Blog on Nov 10, 2009Today is the 24th day of my Daughter Am I blog tour, and I am wearing down a bit. Mostly that’s because I’m still staying up way too late, though recently those long hours on the computer have nothing to do with my tour. Well, that&#...
A Store Walking Down the Street by Bertram's Blog on Nov 7, 2009I recently came across this sentence in a novel: “It was the kind of store I loved to see walking down the street when I was a kid.” Whoooo.
