The wonderful and gracious Melanie Crowder was to be my Friend Friday guest today, in celebration of her new book, A Nearer Moon.

It’s all my fault she is not here. Though I try to convince myself I do have a superhero uniform on under my tee-shirt and jeans, I do not. Life has been so hectic, I didn’t even realize today was Friday!

I’ve begged Melanie’s forgiveness, and now beg yours, too. I’m hoping Melanie will give me a second chance; if so, I’ll post her essay here ASAP.

In the meantime, check out her classy website here, and get a copy of her new book (at your favorite local indie, please!).
