XOXOXO will be released on March 2nd. Here is the synopsis:
Melissa has learned a lot since her freshman year began, but it isn’t over yet! Her world is about to change again with the birth of her new sibling, and she has to figure out how she will adjust to being the eldest of five kids. She, Jess, andJimmy are inseparable, and she is having a fantastic time although she can’t help but miss Brian as she tries to learn how to deal with his relationship with Layla. Everything seems to be happening at once and that is when she is introduced to Ben Campbell, a senior at Dearborn High, who becomes an interesting distraction as he helps her deal with the new developments in her life.
This is the second book in Bethany Lopez's contemporary young adult series, Stories about Melissa. The first book was Ta Ta for Now!

Woot for the Indie Tag Party! Thank you Francine Howarth for putting this event together. My book is Semper Audacia. The link to the tag page is HERE. There are only 5 tags, you can just click "agree with these tags". They are: science fiction, space opera, military science fiction, short fiction and oregon writer.
Yay for festing!
More photos of mountaintop desert flora. I took these photos last summer. Date on the album says 7/01/11. Many times the wind was blowing so hard, it was tough to get a clear shot. Thank goodness photography went digital.
This week's blog posts on the website: Terminal Freeze by Lincoln Child and Cloaking. Last week's posts were on the Infinite Worlds of HG Wells [really fantastic by the way] and the discovery of a young, slow rotating pulsar in the Small Magellanic Cloud taken by Chandra [a space telescope].
Have a great weekend everybody!

Very pretty pictures. I have to take a trip out west one day.
Crap, I missed that post on your website!
Those flowers are so pretty and make me long for summer today. We're having snow by the foot today. :(
Great pictures. Digital cameras (with huge memory cards) are awesome! Semper Audacia is at the top of my to-read list. Will do a review as soon as I can.
I love the west, Miranda. My first trip out here was when we moved here.
I've been falling behind on crap, Alex. No worries.
Oh dear, LG. Stay warm & off the road. It's gloomy here, but I don't know what it's going to do.
Thanks, Tonja. Hope you like Semper.
Very cute pictures.
I'm reading Proust's "Swann's Way" and found an interesting passage you might like. This is M.Legranding speaking, a man of letters and with a "distinct reputation" who lives in Paris but profoundly misses his life in the countryside:
"'Oh, I admit,' he went on, with the gentle, ironical, disillusioned, rather absent-minded smile that was peculiar to him, 'I have every useless thing in the world in my house there. The only thing wanting is the necessary thing, a great patch of open sky like this. Always try to keep a patch of sky above your life, little boy'"
:)
That last shot looks lit from within.
I like that last flower shot too. I tagged Semper. Have a good weekend, Mary!
Sounds like an interesting book!
I love the bright colors in the second picture. :)
Hi Mary,

All tagged. That's a pretty good idea, I think I created a few tags for my novelette once but quickly forgot about it afterwards.
Liked and tagged for you! Lovely pics--thanks for sharing those.
Mary, consider yourself tagged!
Gotcha tagged & Semper's up next on my reading list!!!
Tagged! Have a great day.
I should read some Proust. Thanks for the literary interlude, Jay.
The sun was probably setting and below the mountaintop at that point, Suze. It's hard to get the plants to stand still sometimes.
Thanks for tagging, Jon. Will go tag you.
Thanks, Eagle. Happy Weekend.

You're awesome, Nomar.
The observatory doesn't open again until Memorial Day weekend, Tara. We'll see if I can get out before then or not.
We've had such a non-winter, Kitty, I'm afraid we'll be in flames come summer.
Thanks for the extra tags, Kate.
Awesome, Hywela :)
