Your book sounds amazingly amazing! (? Amazingly amazing?)
I am a newbie on your website who just happened to stumble onto your blog. I'm very glad I did since your up-coming novel sounds fantastic!
Looking forward to June.
Love, Hannah S.

Yay! I love spring and starting seeds. I've planted nothing this spring, but I'm enjoying all the crocuses I planted last fall and looking forward to tulips and hyacinths. I love this time of year :). Happy gardening!

Thanks, gals!! I'm beside myself. Actually, I wish I really was beside myself - I would put me to work! So much to do yet! ;)

Fantastic :)

I'm very interested in reading Borderline because it's an atypical story that appears to be a book that goes the distance.

OH, I love those veggie boxes. We've thought about that. No okra? Too bad - I've had a pretty amazing okra curry!

Thanks, Beverley!

Not yet. Last year, I planted eggplant in pots on the deck and they were so beautiful and delicious!

I think with all I've got going on, I'll have to be satisfied with my new subscription to Full Circle Farm, with its twice monthly delivery of fruits and veggies. True confession: I put bananas (I'm allergic) and okra (no explanation needed) on my never deliver list.

That's fantastic, Ms. D! I loved Chanda's Secrets - such a powerful read. At the bottom of the interview is a link to Allan's blogs about filming Chanda in South Africa - really amazing and worth a look.

I am the librarian at a small high school and am completely engrossed in "Chanda's Secrets." I was thinking it would be an excellent choice for an upcoming "All School Reads" event, when I saw this interview about Mr. Stratton's newest book. "Borderline" sounds like it might be an equally wonderful choice. I'm at a Catholic school where students come from diverse religious backgrounds including Islam and the book’s exploration of spirituality and faith would surely offer many opportunities for interesting discussion and reflection. I can’t wait to read "Borderline."

Since reading the above post I have been intrigued. This novel sounds like it is really apart of your life and that you have taken the time to put a bit of yourself into the pages. It is for this reason I would love to read Borderline.

Thanks

Ever since I first heard of Borderline a few weeks ago, I've been really intrigued! It's a wonderful combination of YA subgenres that don't seem at first impression to fit together, but when combined it actually sounds fascinating.

I would love a chance to read Borderline! As a Muslim-American teen, I love the fact that there are actually YA books being written about us, and I really want to read them all =D
