About me: I'm Rick and I am the coordinatior for Shoreline Teen Advisory Board (or STAB, as everyone calls it) at the Shoreline Library, in Shoreline, Washington. Nina, one of my STABies, as I call them, started this site for me since I was too lazy to do it myself. (And, if you're wondering, the name Ricko Baggins is derived from some offhand comments I made about looking like a hobbit. This just goes to show that you should always be careful about what you say.)

Thank you for adding me! I've published two comics for teens by Hyperion:"Biker Girl"and"Rock and Roll Love" are available now. This September my new comic, "Detective Jermain vol1"will be out too. I hope you can check them out!
Thanks for being my friend. I hope you’ll check out my new tween novel, GIVING UP THE GHOST, set on a haunted plantation near New Orleans two years after Hurricane Katrina.
It’s my dearest wish that my novel’s themes of fear, grief, and forgiveness, leavened with humor and gripped by a ghostly mystery, will bring comfort and healing to young teens living with uncertainty in unsettling times.
KIRKUS says (9/15/07) it has “teen appeal in spades” and is “a good choice for reluctant readers”!
Hiya Rick! Thanks for the cool daemon generator link. I pulled one for the Carnation-Duvall Library Page (I answered as their T.S. librarian, not as me, of course)
