I just discovered this gorgeous and talented young Kiwi artist, Kimbra.
Her Settle Down EP is available on iTunes.
She also features in another little gem, posted after the break.
Jer sent a request to change his mailing address, and this is what he got back ... ironically sent to the address he wanted to change it to ... which is the same as the physical address ... IN Nevada!
Halliday offers up a fast-paced and interesting series, with a heroine that has shades of Bridget Jones and Nancy Drew. She’s a little neurotic, a lot awkward, completely inept at matters of the heart, and a total girl. Blend that with her nosiness, persistence, and her ability to find herself in situations she shouldn’t be in, and you’ve got a (mostly) likable character that will make you laugh.
There are a lot of basic spelling errors and grammar issues, but as I find that to be an issue with even the classics on e-readers, it’s irritating, but expected. I wish they’d dedicate some real copy editors to the e-world!
The hardest thing I’ve ever had to do was watch my son’s heart break and listen to his tears as I told him his best friend had been murdered.
Harder still that I couldn’t offer him any form of physical comfort - no hug, not even a hand against plexiglass.
All I could do was watch through a scratchy old CRT monitor as his head dropped in to his hands and his sobs reverberated through the huge black handset, causing my heart to break in to a million little pieces.
Sometimes, motherhood can be the most excruciatingly painful job in the world.
