I am so happy that you stopped by for a visit. My name is Melissa and I have been blogging with my mom, Eileen since 2009. I originally started Books R Us to promote my book Ginger High. Although the book never became a bestseller, I have learned a lot about publishing and writing.
I am a junior in high school and I have a passion for American Sign Language. When I graduate in 2012, I plan to become a certified Sign Language Interpreter and a Speech Pathologist. I plan to continue writing and I hope to finish the sequel to Ginger High Soon.
Growing up my mom encouraged me to read as much as I could and boy did that pay off in school. When I am busy with schoolwork my mom runs the blog and keeps the posts active. We hope you enjoy the blog party and Books R Us.
Would you like to win a copy of Ginger High? (US/Can only)

Stopping in to do the #ubp11 party dance on your wall! I took ASL in college for a semester. Just like any language you really need to work at it. I still remember a few words... graduated 17 years ago.
ReplyDeleteNewest fan! Susie at Scraps of Life

Hello from UBP! I review books, too, you should come visit!
ReplyDeleteHave a great week.
Found you via UBP11. I write book reviews on my blog too, just for fun. Most of the books I write about are Down syndrome-related. My 3-yr old son has Down syndrome and he's an absolute blessing in our lives. He gets speech therapy at his preschool and loves working with his speech therapist. I wish you all the best with your ambition to become a speech pathologist!

Best wishes on your future career goals - you seem very motivated and have already published a book! Very impressive :-) I took ASL classes at a community college but my old brain didn't absorb it too easily :-(
ReplyDeleteIt's so nice to meet you from the hop. I'm glad you stopped by my place!
ReplyDeleteI'm so impressed with your goals!
I'd love a chance to win your book!

Stopping by from the UBP. It's always nice to meet another writer!--though I didn't get serious about it until about 8 years after high school. Since you got such an early start, I hope things kick off quickly for you. Myself, I've got a 2.5 year old son, another baby on the way, and I write science fiction whenever I can get everybody to bed. :)
ReplyDeleteI'd love to look at your book. My email is sciencefictionmommy@gmail.com
I hope you'll stop by Science Ficiton Mommy

It's always nice to start conversing with other writers.
Enjoy the party!
