<p>Hope every one&#8217;s having an eventful month of March!  To be honest it&#8217;s passed by so quickly the only thing I remember is St. Paddy&#8217;s&#8230; or well, maybe I don&#8217;t&#8230;  Any who, this brings <a href="http://www.nbmpub.com/comingup/comapril.html">A HOME for Mr. EASTER</a>  a little closer to book shelves and hopefully a little closer to you too. In the mean time I guess  I&#8217;ll get you all a little more acquainted with the book, its characters, and what on earth I was thinking when I made it&#8230; So where to begin&#8230;</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1987" src="http://nbmpub.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/where-are-we.jpg" alt="where are we" width="558" height="400" />Where indeed.  The setting in which  <a href="http://www.nbmpub.com/comingup/comapril.html">A Home for Mr. Easter</a> takes place is purposefully pretty vague. I wanted to tell the story economically with just the right amount of information needed to understand the characters.  I didn&#8217;t feel that placing Tesana in a specific city was pertinent to her or anyone else&#8217;s character, not to say that I think it would have been a bad thing to do so, it just would have made <a href="http://www.nbmpub.com/comingup/comapril.html">Mr. Easter</a> a different story&#8230;</p>
<p>(also does any one else see the smiley face in the rock in the picture above? Now that I see it I can&#8217;t stop looking at it).</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Well that bit of insight was short lived, next time perhaps I&#8217;ll devote a post to the villains of <a href="http://www.nbmpub.com/comingup/comapril.html">Mr. Easter </a>or maybe one to process&#8230; or maybe both!  </p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1988" src="http://nbmpub.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/were-here.jpg" alt="were here" width="471" height="326" /></p>
<p>Thanks again for all the glorious support!  If only I could award you with a <a href="http://www.5280flowers.com/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/5e06319eda06f020e43594a9c230972d/b/r/brownies5.jpg">freshly baked brownie</a> every time you stopped by the blog &#8230; but I can&#8217;t&#8230; I&#8217;m still working on that technology.</p>
<p>  Hearts and Good Feelings to all!</p>
<p>          -Brooke!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here&#8217;s a couple of the first pages where our heroine, unwilling to take the bus to school, waits patiently for it&#8217;s arrival&#8230; next to her mom who undoubtedly only improves the situation.</p>
<img class="size-full wp-image-1776" src="http://nbmpub.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Mr.Easter-pg-2-.jpg" alt="an age old drama" width="450" height="675" />
<p>An age old drama unfolds as mother and child debate the importance of education and the attendance there of&#8230; in the end, per usual,  Mom wins the debate.</p>
<p>Note: her Mom using her &#8216;outside voice&#8217; inside (that&#8217;s a Mom privilege). </p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1775" src="http://nbmpub.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Mr.Easter_pg-3.jpg" alt="Waiting for the Bus" width="450" height="675" /></p>
<p>Being dragged to the bus stop by your Mom A.K.A. starting the day off right.<img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1777" src="http://nbmpub.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Mr.Easter_pg-4-500x750.jpg" alt="The bus" width="500" height="750" /></p>
<p>This poor poor bus driver&#8230;. I like to believe that she was employed strictly based on her crazy crypt keeper appearance&#8230;I also like to believe that she&#8217;s really 30.</p>
