Dana here. Ed, my summer-loving writing buddy , says he’s going to sleep this frosty spring day away until sunlight fills his favorite western -facing window on the Hollow and warms up his window seat. Oh, to be able to snooze like Ed; I can practically hear him snoring from here. But, I digress.
An author friend of mine, Bonnie Doerr, sent me a link to The Wild Rose Press blog site, to share with teens and YA fans of all ages. Bonnie and I met in eighth grade, became friends , and introduced our older siblings to one another. Her brother and my sister have been married for many years. Because of that family tie, Bonnie and I didn’t lose track of one another over the decades.
I am not sure she was planning a series when she first penned “Kenzie’s Keys” (published in 2002 by Laurel & Herbert, Inc.). The mystery, set in the Florida Keys, is about twelve-year-old Kenzie Ryan’s struggle to protect the tiny Key deer from poachers. Doerr’s environmentally themed novel predated Al “Green” Gore’s” book. It’s perhaps inevitable such a timely topic would snare Doerr a go-ahead for a YA series.

Time to check out the sunny spot in the driveway where the dog is sleeping. Apparently I am the only one around with any work to do. So long for now- Dana
