Thanksgiving

From Wikipedia

Thanksgiving Day is a holiday celebrated primarily in the United States and Canada. Thanksgiving is celebrated each year on the second Monday of October in Canada and on the fourth Thursday of November in the United States. Because of the longstanding traditions of the holiday, the celebration often extends to the weekend that falls closest to the day it is celebrated. Several other places around the world observe similar celebrations. Historically, Thanksgiving had roots in religious and cultural tradition. Today, Thanksgiving is primarily celebrated as a secular holiday.

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone.

Why The English Lauguage IS Hard to Learn

The English language has developed over a long period of time and had been influenced by a great many languages including but not limited to French, German, Latin, Italian (Roman), and Gaelic.

Where else will you see words like depot where the t is silent. Nite spelled night and where there are so many words spelled with silent k's: knight, knife and knee.

Then there are the differences in the English spelling from UK, Australia to America. For instance in America we spell color: color but in UK and Australia they spell color: colour.

And we wonder why kids are having problems learning how to spell.

My Big Announcement

I've just signed a contract with Keith Publications. They will publish my alien series called Alien Heart Series and the first book is titled Alien Heart. That's my series that's starts in my free reads, Exodus Arcon.

This is very thrilling for me, since I have been working very hard on my series for a while now. Alien Heart took two and half years total, but it was this last year that I was aiming for a market.

A big shout out goes to Mary Keith at Keith Publications, who has been wonderfully supportive and waited for me to put the final polish on my manuscript.
