WIN A YEAR'S SUBSCRIPTION TO HIGHLIGHTS!

HIGHLIGHTS named me their Author of the Month for my story "Crickets (CRASH!) and a Birthday Bash" (Jan. 2011)! This funny story is extra special to me, because it was also a winner of Highlight's 2009 Fiction Contest! Help me celebrate by telling me your favorite birthday memory in the comments below. On March 1, I'll pick a random winner and give them a gift subscription to the magazine I've loved since I was a little girl (back when the dinos roamed the earth ;) Anyone may enter!

    Wow! Congrats for being author of the month!

    Not my favorite, but one I remember, is when I used all my saved birthday money to buy my own bike, while my sister spend her money right away. Four months after I bought my bike, my parents bought her a bike for her birthday. Lesson learned!

    Thanks, Laura! I feel super honored. I have a funny bike story: on my 12th birthday, I got a ten speed. But I'd been home sick for 2 weeks. Suddenly, I felt MUCH better and went for a spin...in my nightgown!

    ;), Gina!

    Let me know what you think, Mikey!

    My favorite birthday memories revolve around the parties and especially the cakes. Among my favorites; a Mountain Dew can, piano, Snoopy's dog house, typewriter, driver's license and a flamingo! Love all your stories!!!!

    See, that's what I was afraid of. Are there large sea creatures involved? I DO NOT like large sea creatures!

    So do you think the book is too disturbing, or would you recommend it, even though it's . . . dark?
