Happy Birthday, Lenny Lee!!!

Time flies when you're having fun...

It's hard to believe FOUR years ago, I met Lenny Lee (link), an eleven year-old boy who liked playing outside, raccoons, and writing, and whose icon was (and is) a happy sunshine. 

Lenny was dealing with health problems, and his family wasn't sure he'd survive them. Fast-forward to today, and here we are celebrating--Lenny Lee is FIFTEEN! Holy driver's license! 

We're all just celebrating and doing the happy dance!

HAPPBIRTHDAY, Lenny!!! 


*throws confetti*

You're no longer playing with toy cars... soon you'll be racing your own! (Ha ha--just teasing!)

Have a great day, my YA friend, and a super week, reader- and writer-friends! Hop back tomorrow for another important announcement... #squee

c. What I need is good cutting spree to calm myself down.

What do you think? Which one is true? 

Write your guess in the comments, along with your email address. Comments will close in 48 hours. If no-one guesses correctly within in 48 hours, comments will stay open until someone does.

Want more chances to win?

ABOUT THE BOOK:

*This novel contains coarse language, violence, and sexual themes.

Sonia yearns for sharp objects and blood. But now that she's rehabilitating herself as a "normal" mother and mathematics teacher, it's time to stop dreaming about slicing people's throats.

While being the wife of Melbourne's leading drug lord and simultaneously dating his best mate is not ideal, she's determined to make it work.

It does work. Until Mia, her lover's daughter, starts exchanging saliva with her son, Mick. They plan to commit a crime behind Sonia's back. It isn't long before she finds out and gets involved to protect them.

But is protecting the kids really Sonia's motive?
