The redeemable side of the internet

Say what you will about the internet and online culture, but I’m comforted to see, based on tweets/comments, that I’m not the only person living with the fallout of Phil Collins’ heartrending, heart-wrenching soundtrack to Tarzan.

That guy really put absolutely everything in his soul into those tracks. I still can’t listen to “You’ll be in my heart,” without falling to pieces.

Time for a career change?

I was on one of those “funny tweets of the day” threads and someone with the handle, @bookishseawitch (the moon’s wife) posted, “Why don’t you sit still for a moment and imagine that you are simply a little goose coasting not he breeze behind your friends, on your way home to eat clover & honk at strangers & commit goose crimes,” and honestly, all I can think about now is how much I want to be a goose.

The world just got spookier!

Join Asim, Rokshar, and Max on their latest adventure! Don’t Go Near the Water is available for sale now.

A strange woman seems to have eerie control over people. Is it science . . . or strange and ghostly? 

Asim’s field trip is freaking him out! His class is on a boat, exploring the Salish Sea, when he sees a pale, scowling woman staring at him from under the water. Asim’s friend Rokshar thinks it’s just a seal. She always finds a scientific explanation for the strange things that happen in town.

But when Asim’s dad hears otherworldly music coming from the water, he feels so drawn to it that he tries to throw himself in! Could a fairmaid”a mermaid from Guyanese folklore”be to blame?

Find out . . . if you dare!
