About me:
Lori Calabrese grew up on Long Island and will always be a New Yawker at heart. After obtaining a bachelor's degree in Communications from St. John's University in Queens, New York, Lori worked in television for Lifetime, and the New York Mets. She later went on to become a managing producer at World Wrestling Entertainment where she wrote scripts for TV shows and DVDs, and traveled extensively for ten years. After the birth of her two boys, she rediscovered her love of writing and eventually made the leap to become a full-time freelance magazine and children's book writer. Since then, she's written about everything from Ancient Romans washing their clothes in urine to peculiar penguins to animals that play dead. Lori's first picture book, THE BUG THAT PLAGUED THE ENTIRE THIRD GRADE, will be released in 2010! Her publication credits include Boys' Life, Odyssey, Appleseeds, Focus on the Family Clubhouse Jr., Turtle Magazine for Preschool Kids, Stories for Children Magazine and The Institute of Children's Literature's Rx for Writers. Lori is a graduate of The Institute of Children's Literature and a member of The Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators. Lori is also the National Children's Book Examiner for Examiner.com.

I wrote one note but I don't think it got saved. If it did, forgive me for repeating myself.
I just published a new book which involves two 14-year-olds who choose to take a chastity pledge. I don't know if that is something you would be interested in reviewing as a "childrens" book or not. The reading level is not difficult but the content might be. Here is a lnk to my first review for it. If you'd be intereseted in reading/reviewing it, let me know.

Welcome Spring! If winter is equated to an old man, spring is a lovely lady.

"Are you made of stars, Professor Angelicus?" asked Zak. "Is Quantia?"
"Absolutely. Nothing more and nothing less," the professor affirmed. "The iron in your blood, the calcium in your bones...everything. Even the tiniest drop of water shining on a spider's web is stardust and starlight. All living things are related. We're all brothers and sisters."
He pointed out toward the silent brilliance in space, his large eyes clear and luminescent. "We were all created in the intergalactic clouds that came from the first great breath of life. Some call it the Essence of God."
Ziggy wagged his tail and his eyes sparkled. He understood what the professor was saying...

You have a very impressive resume yourself and we'd love to know more about your books so be sure to keep us informed. We'll subscribe to your blog.
Thank you for adding Marshall Mouse and his author Camille Blue Amy as your friend. I'm helping Camille (who is 71) get started on MySpace as she's a new children's author and we're looking to learn and network with other children's authors, illustrators, publishers and people who love children's books. We also promote and advocate literacy.
Thank you for your kind words about the illustrations. We think they're pretty adorable too. Marshall and His Green High-tops is available at http://www. marshallmouse. com and on Amazon. com.
All the very best,
Christine and Camille
