I recieved a nice note this morning from Tony Medeiros informing me that he did a little review for Un-Brella, at www.sandboxworld.com . Check out Sandbox World and let me know what you think. Thank you Tony

Confidential, is the story of a young man sending a love letter in smoke signals. The only problem is that the wrong person received his communication. Will he live happily ever after with his true love? The world will never know because this is the newest Un-Book by Scott E. Franson.

Big Yellow Tonka Truck! Can you remember that? I loved my truck.

I grew up in a suburb of Ogden, Utah, called Washington Terrace in the early 70s. I can still remember the address 288 East 4525 South, Ogden, Utah. (I had to memorize my address in Kindergarten and I don’t think I will ever forget it.) Well, back to the truck story. It isn’t a funny or even important memory, just very a very pleasant place in my mind. As kids we would race our trucks around the block. We would stand back to back on one corner. On your mark—get set—go! (I always thought it was, On your mart—get set—go!) We went opposite directions from one another to avoid bumping into each other, pushing our big yellow Tonka trucks. The cracks in the sidewalk making a rhythmic click-clunk, click-clunking all the way around the block. The first one returning to the starting corner the winner. My life as a kid was pretty good.

Un-Brella is just 38 days away from publication (unless you are attending the UVSC children’s lit conference then it is 32). This is a new experience for me and I am going just a bit crazy. I know what I should be doing. I should be working on the next book and not worry about things I have no control over.
