Ain&#8217;t I a peach?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">My friend (other than in the MySpace sense) and Young Adult author, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.shelleyadina.com\/\">Shelley Adina<\/a>, has MySpace pages for each of the characters in her <a href=\"http:\/\/www.allaboutusbooks.net\/site.php\">All About Us<\/a> book series. Check out <a href=\"http:\/\/profile.myspace.com\/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&amp;friendid=368340938\">Lissa&#8217;s MySpace page<\/a> (Gillian&#8217;s, Carly&#8217;s, Shani&#8217;s and Mac&#8217;s pages can all be accessed from Lissa&#8217;s Friends Space.) I do believe you or your teenager of choice can friend Shelley&#8217;s characters, too.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">You know what the coolest thing is? Shelley didn&#8217;t have to create these pages, not does she have to update them. Her publisher did and does it for her. Sounds like they&#8217;re behind her, huh? And <a href=\"http:\/\/www.shelleyadina.com\/\">check out those gorgeous covers<\/a>. You go, Shelley!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">What do you think about the MySpace promotion? Personally, I think it&#8217;s very clever. I don&#8217;t think I would create MySpace pages for my own characters, but then I don&#8217;t write Young Adult novels. If I did write Young Adult novels, then I think it&#8217;s a wonderful idea. MySpace drives me crazy enough with the two sites I maintain for myself and Penny without adding pages for my characters into the mix.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">By the way, I tried putting an <a href=\"http:\/\/french.about.com\/library\/pronunciation\/bl-pronunciation-accents.htm\">accent grave<\/a> (to the left) over the e in tres, but the instructions someone gave me aren&#8217;t working.<\/p>\n<p>Plus, the instructions are for accent aigu (to the right), anyway. From now on, when I write tres, just take it for granted that you should pronounce it &#8220;tray.&#8221; With a little roll of the R, if you please, and a touch of Pepe Le Peux flair. Thank you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m getting into a bad habit of titling blog posts with question marks, but if I can suck it up, so can you.
