Wasn't real sure what to make of that... but enjoyed it none the less. Ran across this and was amused to see my name being used as a bunny.

That was quite simply fabulous and brought a smile to my face. It isn't Walter the Farting Dog (don't ask) and probably not story-time material, but I'm sure you could find a market. ; - ) OK.

How did I miss this? I love this story and the pictures. So great. Yes, obvioulsy this was working up to those early Crusie heroines. Such sass has our bunny girl. I particularly love the Baskin-Robiins part. I worked there in high school. Dunno about Rum Raisin, but ply me Fudge Chunks & Chips and I'll do just about anything. Oh! THE cherry is back!

You were clearly reading lots of children's books at the time, even if the word choice, moral, and romance aren't exactly in line with the genre. Glad you switched; your voice is much more suited to rom/com. That was such a treat to read!

There is clear value change, conflict, an antagonist. Let's here it for Mint Chocolate Chip. A sturdy standby- but still zippy. The bunny even has a character arc!

Although I have been laughing big time thinking about an innocent mother sitting and reading about Helen with her little one and becoming increasingly concerned and desperately trying to censor it as she goes along while keeping that even sing songy voice and have the kid say - that says "pad in the storeroom mummy" not "sad in the bedroom". LOL Kiddies loss is our gain.
