And then there’s rejects!
Back under the couch I go and the eyes looking out at the world are red rimmed and bloodshot. I nurture my hurt for a while, and grizzle and hiss and feel really sorry for myself. Eventually I realize I can’t live my life under a couch (not comfortably anyway) so out I come, lick my wounds, scratch nasty things about people who reject me into the sand and leave them there to be blown away by a passing wind, and then get on with it again.
Part of my life now is writing books reviews. These are called “Kids Books For Adults” and it started when I realized so many adults don’t get the opportunity to see how brilliant kids books really are.

Kid’s books are for performing – you have to get in there and really ham it up and that’s what my book column is about.
It could be called “How To Ham Up This Book And Have Good Fun!” I hate it when someone reads aloud and their voice is as exciting as the hum of an elastic band played between your fingers for a couple of hours.
