Back from a relaxing
vacation and some bookstore visits in Florida. Got lots
of Mick Morris fans down there reading on the
beach...But you know, it's always good to be home.
Gotta share one of the most exciting parts of our trip
with you. We took a ghost tour in St. Augustine,
Florida, which is known as one of the most haunted
cities in America. Well sure enough, we weren't
completely convinced - until late at night on the tour
we captured this weird orb in a picture! We took
tons of pics before and tons after and it only showed in
two, and the second photo it looks like it's floating
away! There were no bugs or other lights
anywhere around! Everyone on the tour was pretty freaked
out, except the tour guide. He said every once in
awhile someone on the tour will capture one on a
camera! Pretty creepy - had to be a ghost! Got us
excited about wrapping up the next Ghost Board Posse
book #2 Aloha Haunts! karenimprov: So, Happy
4th of July! Time to celebrate! Hope that
you plan on seeing some exciting fireworks! We can't
wait to see all of our friends who emailed us from up
north and plan on stopping by to say hi in Traverse City
next week - see you
then!

Hey there Mick Morris friends and
fans, even though it's not hot enough outside to believe
it...summer vacation is finally here! We hope that you
have some cool things planned for this summer. Whether
you are going on a vacation, or just doing a staycation
make sure that you get outside, have fun, and have some
exciting books for scary, summer reading! Some perfect
times for that are around a campfire, on a beach, or
just curled up inside during a summer thunderstorm.
The Mick Morris team is heading south to check
out some of the ghosts of St. Augustine, Florida, one of
the most haunted cities in the United States! They are
even staying in the haunted Casa Monica Hotel! Then it's
onto Disney for a relaxing summer break. But, they will
be back for the release their frightening new book, Mick
Morris Myth Solver #5 The Abominable Snowman...A Frozen
Nightmare! That'll keep you cool with chills this
summer! Check back to find out where the fun release
party will be this August...and keep reading!

Happy Memorial Day! Hope that you are having a
good one - barbeque's, friends, family and fun. There
are some great movies out too - our recommendations -
Star Trek and Night at the Museum 2 - which was
hilarious. And remember, to take a moment to think of
all of those brave soldiers who fought for our
country.
5-18-09
I love our Ohio neighbors
(okay, okay, except for on game day)! What a fantastic
time we had at the 8Th Annual Claire's Day! We visited
wonderful schools with terrific kids (see the photo's
page) and we met some of the nicest people, and that's
including a ton of other famous and fun authors and
illustrators (see www.clairesday.org ). But more importantly this was just a
fantastic event, one to be remembered in honor of
Claire. The amazing community of people in Toledo and
the surrounding areas speak volumes for taking care of
each other and being kind to one another. If you have
never attended Claire's Day, make it a point to go-you
won't be disappointed! A giant thanks and kudos to the
Rubini family and each and every one of the Claire's Day
volunteers.

Okay...when you
go into a cool comic book store on nice Saturday
afternoon in May in Ann Arbor, what is the last thing
that you expect to see? If you answered the Abominable
Snowman then you are right! How wild is it that?
Especially since the next Mick Morris Myth Solver book
#5 Abominable Snowman...A Frozen Nightmare! is almost
out! We couldn't believe it-talk about a surprise,
of course there were others that day at the Vault of
Midnight too, like Stormtroopers, free comic books, ice
cream. We love that place...but the Abominable is the
best-except that this one is cuddly and ours is super
scary! Coming soon!!!

Happy Spring! Happy Easter! Happy
Passover! Hope that you've been having an awesome Spring
Break! We had a great Reading Month-as many of you know
(we visited 14 schools). Each and every school was
fantastic. We met so many amazing students, teachers,
principals and PTO people. It was a delight to hear
about so many of the students aspirations-you know you
can do whatever you dream of, so never, ever, ever give
up. Also, we will post the winning entry for our
"I Met A Myth" writing contest soon.
This month
we are really excited to be presenting for the
Children's Literature Conference in Auburn Hills at
Oakland Community College (and there are still a few
spaces left-if you are an aspiring author or
illustrator. Here is the number for more info
248-341-2000). Next month, we feel truly privileged to
be a part of the wonderful Claire's Day Festival in
Maumee, Ohio www.clairesday.org. This is something that can't be missed. It
will be a fantastic day of Children's book authors and illustrators
from throughout the Midwest (and beyond!), local
Storytellers, family entertainment, book related
hands-on activities and much more. So hopefully we will see you
there!
3-7-2009
Spring is in the
air...and so is Reading Month! We hope that you are
happily enjoying this warm spell (let's hope it stays)
and finding lots of great books to read this
month...doesn't matter what it is, just keep reading! We
started out Reading Month visiting Romeo and Melvindale,
and had a great time at both! If we aren't lucky enough
to visit your school this month, there is still April
and May...just tell your teacher or Media Specialist
about us. Every school deserves an author or illustrator
visiting their school (or both-like us) to get the whole
story on reading, writing and art! So, keep reading, it
will take you places you've never imagined...and Happy
Reading Month!
2-15-2009
Wow...nothing
like a little bit of warm weather to get us thinking
Spring and Summer! Even though Winter popped it's
chilly head back up, we are busy gearing up for a fun,
exciting and busy Spring! We are now completely
booked for March Reading Month, but you guys know what
we always say...every month should be reading
month! So, if you want us to visit your school we
have plenty of dates in April and May. Those are perfect
times to gear up for Summer beach and camping
reading! Also, for those of you who have requested
AR tests, we now have them (thanks to Dr. Katherine
Ellis). So, just have your teacher or Media
Specialist email us at mickmorrisinfo@yahoo.com and we
will happily send them to your school. Remember
too, don't let reading be a drag (just cuz of AR) make
it fun, by reading what you
enjoy.

Hi Everyone! We
hope you're having a great 2009 so far! Well you
know we usually don't blog to you about anything much
than our Mick Morris adventures...But today's a little
different. Today, we just want to give a shout out
to Stoney, Wojo, and all the other great people that
made up WDFN. We will miss you guys, tons!!!
Also, a Happy Birthday to Stoney - nothing like a bunch
of us playing whirlyball to celebate your
birthday! Great party, great friends, great time -
thanks for all of it. For you Mick Morris friends
of ours, know that there is nothing like good friends

reading!
12-20-08
We really are looking
forward to the holidays, you know settling in with
family and friends, laughing, sharing, giving and all
that wonderful stuff that goes with this time of
year. Now, we all know that times are tough, and
we have to take care of our own in Michigan (that
couldn't be more clear lately). So, besides
giving, and donating to needy causes, be sure to support
everything made in Michigan! That means buying
things made in Michigan, and includes when you go into a
bookstore, ask your bookseller for books by Michigan
authors and illustrators, cuz the more we take care of
our own, the better off we will all be! Hope that
your holidays are wonderful and filled
with laughter, love and joy! And don't forget to
totally enjoy!
Also, get those pencils moving
over the break! Enter our fantastic writing contest now! Tell your friends...tell your
teacher! Win some books, gift basket, and a
classroom visit from Karen!
12-7-08
A little bit chilly outside isn't
it? Not, too, cold to visit you guys! We happily
started our author/illustrator in residence in Novi
Middle School - and what a great time we had! Dr. Ellis'
talented group of 6th graders are each writing their own
book - everything from historical to sports
themed. We had a great time helping them get
started, we even did some cool stuff to get the creative
juices flowing - and we know it worked! We will be
back in January, and can't wait to see what they have
written!
We also trudged our way out to Rochester
Barnes & Noble yesterday (yes, in that blizzard!),
and had a fantastic time! They were so welcoming, and
helpful - which made our event a huge success.
Also, a gi-nourmous congratulations to all of the art
students who received their recognition awards - we have
just been meeting so many talented kids - whose hearts
are in the arts...keep it going young friends!
From Mick - Hello everyone, and happy
holidays! We hope that you get to enjoy the season, by
giving and taking care of others. This year we
won't be travelling to film until January, and it's
gonna be cold...YIKES!!! Be back soon, gotta help mom
clean the house...YUK!
11-16-08
The holidays are
almost here, and that makes us totally happy!
What's on your list? Anyone want a Mick
Morris? Write us and tell us why, and we might
just send you one. In the meantime don't forget to
enter and share our cool writing contest 'I Met a Myth!'
with your teacher, and you might just win a free visit
to your school. Stay warm, and cozy up with a good scary
read like Mick Morris or Ghost Board Posse!
11-1-08 Hope that you had a totally
fun and scary Halloween! It's hard to believe that it's
over...all the ghosts are saying 'BOOHOO!' Okay, that
was a totally lame joke - I know.
Here is the
latest and greatest news...It's time for another
WRITING CONTEST - oh yeah! This one is called
"I Met a Myth!" To enter the contest, just write
a short story (the length is up to you-it can be a
paragraph or ten pages) about how you actually met a
myth. You can add a chapter to the Mick Morris books, or
you can make up your own. It can be an existing myth, or
one that you make up. What we are looking for in your
story is dialog, interaction, and action between you and
the myth.
You can enter the contest by yourself,
or your teacher can have your entire class enter. Make
sure that your entry in neatly typed, or if it is hand
written we need to be able to read it. Now, I know you
are thinking, "Well, like what will I win?" (Insert
drumroll here) You will win a visit to your
classroom by Karen Bell-Brege, a set of books for you
and your school library, a small surprise for every
class member, your picture and entry posted on our
website and a gift basket! This is the contest of
all contests! Isn't that totally cool and worth it? So
have fun and write on! Click here to find out more or print
out a sheet for your teacher.

You can just feel the fright in the
air as Halloween is getting closer and closer! Isn't it
just totally exciting? If there is anyone out there who
doesn't like Halloween, you need to write to us at
mickmorrisinfo@yahoo.com and tell us why you don't. Speaking of
writing, get those pencils and paper ready because we
are gearing up for the next Mick Morris Myth Solver
writing contest for elementary schools, and Ghost Board
Posse for middle schools. We're busy putting
together a cool contest - with a really great
prize. So, check back here often, because the
contest will be posted in the next few weeks! Who
doesn't love a good contest...or a good book? Tom
Hanks does!
And now here are a few words from Mick...
Yeah Halloween is coming and I can't wait;
even though I am not quite sure what I am going to be.
I'm still totally excited. I think that this year my
costume will just be something random. It doesn't matter
though, cuz the fun is all about that frightening, scary
night of October 31st - WHHHOOOOO HAAAAAAA
HAAAAAA!
2-21-2008
Wow, what a fun busy week! It
started with the Maltby Book Fair (a super big thanks to
the promoter of the year Kathy, and to the wonderful
Media Specialists!), then a talk at the Royal Oak Public
Library. If you want to support Michigan
Authors and Illustrators, make sure you ask your
Media Specialists to include them in your book
fairs. Also, a big thanks to
everyone that joined us this weekend! What a great
time. Check out the photos section to see your pic and a special
signing appearance of Mick, Nathan, and Sissy (character
models Karl and Katie)! And please be sure to click on
the Book Trailer logo to see the new fantastic Mick Morris Myth Solver book
trailer. Or, check out the Ghost Board Posse trailer that Mick, himself, put together!
He did the editing, animation and voice over...and here
is what he has to say...
Hi everyone!
Thanks for your comments on the Ghost Board Posse
trailer, and I am now happy that the Mick Morris Myth
Solver book trailer is finished and ready for you to
see. For those of you who asked me questions on
how I make my movies, I work in Pinnacle Studios,
Poser, and Anime Studio. The best way to learn
them is just to create your movie and then teach
yourself by doing it. The tutorials help
too. Well, now I am just goofing around on Spore,
got some homework too -YUK!
9-12-08
 Last night I had the awesome
opportunity to be a part of a fantastic panel that the
esteemed writer Cindy LaFerle put together at the Royal
Oak Public Library. For anyone interested in writing -
these are can't miss sessions, in fact I have one there
next Wednesday, September 17Th at 7:00pm. I'll be
speaking about the Mick Morris Myth Solver books and the
Ghost Board Posse book. Then on Thursday, September 18Th
the panel will be back at 7:00pm.
And here is
totally cool news...Maltby Middle School is having a
book fair and asked us to be a part of it! So in
this pic you can see our books on display...And if you
school is having a book fair, and you ask them to have
us, and they do...we'll give you a free book! So be sure
to talk to your Media Specialist and have them email us!
Also, thanks so much for our friends that have
been popping into our bookstores signings to see
us! A special hello to our friend pictured above
from Allen Park. Check out the schedule on the front
page to see where we will be!
Now from Mick:
School is cool! No kidding, I am really
enjoying it this year! I'm also glad that our next myth
solving mission isn't until winter. Mom and dad promised
that it will be a really fun place and somewhere that I
can snowboard - so I am totally excited! But the only
thing that bothers me...is what kind of myth has
anything to do with snow. If you know, drop me an email.
Happy weekend!
8-19-2008 A great big hello to all
of our friends that we saw last weekend in Ann Arbor and
Novi - thanks for stopping by! Also, this coming
weekend, if you happen to be in the Allen Park area, be
sure to pop into the Allen Park Barnes & Noble and
say 'HI!' Especially if you are out shopping for
school clothes...Oh no I mentioned it didn't I,
SCHOOL. Can you believe it's almost here?
The good news is that we will be seeing some of you when
we visit your school. And if we don't have your
school on our list, just have your teacher email us and
hopefully we will be able to visit you're school as
well.. And Ghost Board Posse fans...be sure to
check out your pics on www.ghostboardposse.com, Mick Morris book lovers, see your pics
on this site, just click on photo's from visits.
 Hi everyone! My friends and
I have been watching the olympics and all I can say is,
Go Michael Phelps! Totally cool! But, I
really think that anyone that puts in as much practice,
and hard work as these atheletes deserves a gold
medal! Well, I can't believe that school is only
two weeks away and my parents won't even tell me where
the next myth solver mission is! I must do some
snooping and find out! Okay, gotta go back to
school shopping now - yuk!
7-25-2008
Well we are cruising through summer a
little to fast for me...but it has been great! I
hope that everyone is enjoying their summer (including
Brad and Angelina - pictured), and getting lots of
summer reading in too! Check both this site and
www.ghostboardposse.com for all of our upcoming bookstore visits!
See ya there! Also, check the photo page on both
sites for updated
pictures.
7-13-2008 Just
can't wait to see some of our 'Up North' friends this
coming week! And, for those of you who didn't know
that we were heading up that way, please be sure to
check out all of the super locations that we'll be at on
www.ghostboardposse.com. And speaking of Ghost Board Posse,
thanks to those of you who have sent in your great
reviews! Here is one of them...
"This
book is an awesome thriller! This book is full of
action and grabs you! I never wanted to put it down.
there was not one slow part! All action, all the time! I
recommend this book to anyone who enjoys anything scary
or full of fun and excitement!" --Aden Kuehnl
Student Age 12
Thanks Aden! If anyone
wants to pick up your scary Ghost Board Posse #1 London
Screaming! Just head out to your local
bookstore. Also, for our Birmingham and Bloomfield
friends be sure to look for the article that is coming
out in the August issue of Signature Magazine!
Keep having fun in the summertime sun! And now here's
Mick...
What a great summer! Camp was about the most fun I
could've ever had! I took the Outdoor Sportsmen
program and did the zipline (which was really, really
high up), canoed, swam, archery, rifle practice, hiked,
basketball, campfires and more! What a blast...I just
love summertime, but just between you and me, I have
heard rumors that the Myth Solver show is heading for a
winter taping, and I'm just not ready for that...So,
gotta go for now ...Keep livin' it up in the
summer!
6-14-2008
Hey everybody! School's
out! Isn't that fantastic? Lot's of our friends have
written to us asking us why we don't update our blog
more often...well I promise you we will. Just had some
major surgery and took awhile to get back in action -
but doing great now (for those of you who didn't know I
injured my hip doing comedy while impersonating James
Brown and doing the splits!).
Okay, the latest
news...and this is big - 'Ghost Board Posse #1 London
Screaming' has been released and is now available
at your bookstore! Remember when we saw you, we said
that it is for readers 10 plus (unless you get your
parents permission) because it is
SCARY!!! In fact when I was home alone writing it, if I
heard a noise in the house, I would jump! So, be
sure to check it out... here is the website www.ghostboardposse.com.
We just got this from our friend,
Justin! It was great running into you Justin and
glad to hear that you like Champ!
Here's the latest from Mick...
I am so glad that it's summer vacation! I can
hardly believe that it's here! The break started
out great by having my buddy Jake for the weekend! And
then next week I go to camp - talk about fun. I
would love to hear what you are doing for your summer
break!
Okay, about 'Ghost Board Posse #1 London
Screaming.' I read it and it is SCARY! I'm not
kidding - it's not like any kids books. I had to
put it down at night cuz I got freaked out. The
characters and skateboarding tricks in it are totally
cool. You gotta check it out. Have a great
summer!
5-20-2008
 | Okay, who's fired up to see Indiana Jones
and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull this week? We
are big time. In fact, we're looking forward to
seeing Karen Allen return as Marion Ravenwood in the
movie. Here are a couple of pictures from 2006
where Darrin had the opportunity to interview her for
WDFN. She was very very nice and we're totally
glad she's back playing, not only Indy's
girlfriend...but Shia Labeouf's mom! We
can't wait! She also signed a Marion Ravenwood
Disney Park exclusive action figure for us. Too
cool.
4-30-2008
Hi friends...and by the
way thanks for the super nice emails and drawings (check
out the new ones on Your Sketches). Now I have to say that I don't like
ending our school visits - but I sure love the fact that
summer is coming! What better time than summer to grab a
Mick Morris Myth Solver book to read around a spooky
campfire or on a rainy summer night...Mick Morris books
are even great for reading on the beach! I
know I am getting my scary reading material together for
summer reading - so check back often and I will let you
in on what I'm reading...here's a few words from
Mick...
Hi! The countdown for the end of the school
year has started and we are at 32 days of actual school
left! Will I miss school you ask? Only my
friends...plus you guys know how I am into robotics and
movie making and stuff like that so I am going to a
super cool summer camp this year for video game
creation. Yep and I can't wait! Write back
and let me know what kind of exciting summer camp you
are going to.
TTYL!
4-15-2008
A big shout
out to Doherty and Lone Pine Elementary Schools...it was
so great to meet everyone! Check out some of the
photo's on the 'Photo's From Visits
page!' Also, be sure to join us this Saturday at
the brand new big Ann Arbor Borders Bookstore!
We'll be there at noon. It is one of the coolest
stores. We also can't wait to show you Mick's
latest surprise for you...we should have it here
sometime this coming weekend...Speaking of, here he
is...
Hi everybody! I can't believe that
it's Tuesday already...because I have a huge report
due. I am almost done, but I REALLY want to head
outside cuz it's sooo nice out! Anyway hope you
are all doing great and I'm surprised that this is the
last quarter of school...but you aren't going to believe
what happened on our last myth solving mission.
Yikes, it was a close one, and the stories that my
parents have...all I can say is that if you thought that
the Abominable Snowman was fake...you will think
again!
4-6-2008 Yeah! Spring
is finally here...well for those of us in Michigan
anyway (some of you have been lucky enough to have warm
weather already). As you know, we've been super busy
visiting so many of our great friends at schools,
libraries and bookstores this past winter. And we
want to thank you for all of your cool emails -
especially Pat Pullis' group of aspiring writers and
artists in Warren! We just happily posted all of
the totally cool stories and artwork right here on the
website just click here, or visit the link on the "your sketches"
page. It's a new page called " writings." I just love it when I get to see
true creativity! I have to tell you too, that last
night Mr. Brege and I were watching the coolest story
about Champ on the Discover Channel...so if you think
it's a myth - you just have to see these stories!
Enjoy the great weather! Here are a few words from
Mick...
 Hi
everybody! Just got home a little while ago, I got
to spend the night at my friend Joey's. We had a
blast! Watched scary movies, played video games
and basketball - just fun! Got tons of homework to do
tonight though. I really think that homework
should be illegal on weekends. So, I've been
saving my money to buy some totally cool software and I
will be making some new animated short films...just as
soon as I learn everything that the program can do -
it's awesome though. Oh and I was lucky enough over the
break to get to see my best friend Nathan, and my stinky
cousin Sissy- check them out in the photo here. Oh yeah,
just in case you wonder what happened to Nathan's black
hair, he got a bit part in one of his dads films and had
to dye it. When he gets back to LA, they are going
to dye it back for him. Have a great week!
TTYL
3-12-2008
 | What a wonderful time we had at the Fox
Theater in downtown Detroit last Saturday night. We went
to see comedian and impressionist Frank Caliendo. You
may know him from his Dish Network commercials, Mad TV,
or the NFL on Fox. He's best know for impersonating
George Bush and John Madden. Darrin got to chat with
Frank briefly while at WDFN doing some impression work
of his own. He's a nice guy...and funny! You'll see us
pictured with our radio friends [from the left] Stoney,
his wife Cindy, Matt Sheppard (Ole' Shep), his wife
Lisa, and Wojo. It was through Stoney, and Frank, that
put us pretty close to the stage! Thanks a
bunch!!!
Spring is in the air! At least that's
what we're counting on anyway! Thanks for all of
your emails on the Mick Morris Alien Video, and since
we've received so many, wanting to know if it's real or
not, we'll answer all of you at the same time - yes the
video is real. Now as far as the alien - that is for you
to decide. Mick has a few things that he
wanted to share... 2-29-08
Hey friends
how's it goin? Sorry I haven't written lately but have
been super swamped with homework! And basketball -
which by the way the Brighton Blizzards have now won two
games - hooray team! We all worked really hard to do so
too! So hard that Ian broke his nose - but he is
fine now. Everybody on my team really works
together and hustles! It's totally cool. Hope you
have a great week and ttyl!
Last night we attended one of the
coolest events ever at the Music Hall in Detroit!
The three of us went to see Chris Gardner speak...Now if
you don't know who Chris Gardner is, he is the man who
the movie 'The Pursuit of Happyness' was made
about. The movie starred Will Smith as Gardner, a
man who against all odds took care of his little boy,
while broke, homeless, and struggling to follow the
career of his dreams. It was fascinating to hear
how this man transformed his life, proving that anyone
can do whatever they want in life. After the
event, the best part about the night was when Mr.
Gardner's bodyguards were escorting him offstage to the
private party, we went up to him and Darrin asked if he
would autograph Mick's book. Mr. Gardner said,
"Mick? Where's Mick?" He then had Mick walk with him
while surrounded by people, all the way to the top of
the theater chatting with him. He signed Mick's
book and told him to keep making his movies. We tried to
get pics, but as you can see it was hard to do. Thank
you Mr. Gardner – you are truly an
inspiration!
2-27-08
It was a blizzard
yesterday as we headed out to visit Westview, Mound Park
and Schofield! We can't thank you enough! And it was so
much fun! Be sure to check out all the cool pics on the
photo page. For those of you who haven't seen the alien
video, just click on the You Tube logo on our home page
or right here. Then, if you want a 'Super Spanish
Lesson with Pedro,' just click here. It's some of Mick's best editing,
writing and directing and it's hilarious! Thanks for all
of your emails from yesterday, and we will be getting
back to you and have all of your drawings up very soon
on our "your sketches" page!
Latest news on the
book front is that 'The Abominable Snowman...A Frozen
Nightmare' will be coming soon! And more good news is on
the way!
Here's the latest with Mick:
Hey everyone! Hope you had fun yesterday! I
know I did! Let's see, we are into basketball season and
I have been busy making movies...as you can see my mom
brags about them (above) I heard from Nathan and he made
a movie too-even though he gets to go on the real sets
with his dad all the time. Okay, gotta go...got a ton,
and I mean a ton of homework to do. YUK! Plus basketball
practice tonight! I'll have some cool news for you next
week!
2-10-08 Brrrrrrrrrr! Okay
it's a little chilly out wouldn't you say? But
here is something you can do...send us a self-addressed
envelope with two stamps (the post office makes us do
that if there is anything heavier than paper inside the
envelope) and we will send you one of our brand new
totally cool bookmarks! Free! But make sure your
envelope is neatly addressed to yourself and that there
are two stamps on the envelope to yourself (otherwise we
can't mail it). Put that envelope in another one and
send it to: Mick Morris Free Bookmark, 9864 E. Grand
River, Suite 110, #244, Brighton, MI 48116 and we
will happily send you one! Here's the latest in
Mick thoughts...
MMB
Hey everyone, hope your
cool with the cold weather (ha - get it?). Anyway I've
been AIMing with a lot of friends and some of them want
to know why Sissy drives me crazy. Well here is a
perfect example - this is an email she sent me
yesterday.
Hi Mick Why are you so
lame and you haven't written back to me? Do you think
that you can just avoid me? I am your cousin you
know. So anyway I wanted to know if boys think
that leggings look cool on girls? Also, I am totally
excited to come over to your parents house next weekend,
but can you make sure that your mom makes salad for
me? Anyway my friend got a love letter. Who do you
like? I like Jared. And I got some totally cool
new pink sneakers for spring. Gotta go! See
ya!
Leggings! Pink Sneakers! Salad! And who
do I like?!!! UGH! Sissy bugs me!

Hope that everybody is
keeping warm...Especially if you're hitting the slopes!
We have a busy week coming up with lots of exciting
meetings for some of our upcoming new plans - but for
right now they're a secret, as soon as the plans are in
place you'll be the first we tell. For all of our great
friends asking about the next book, 'Abominable
Snowman...A Frozen Nightmare!' Things have been a little
delayed because of our new series 'Ghost Board Posse
Book #1 London Screaming!' A totally scary book which
will give you ultimate chills! But we are working on
Abominable, so we'll keep you posted. Here's Mick...

Hey everybody, what a crazy week! Basketball
started and it was a blast having my dad coach! Plus I
got lucky enough to have a lot of my friends from school
on my team. School has been, well, what can I say -
school. Report cards are coming out in a couple of weeks
and I think I did pretty good. On Monday two of my
classes change and for one of them I have gym - yuk that
means that I will have to change clothes and then race
like a madman to Martin's class trying not to be a
millimeter of a second late! Anyway my pal Joey is on
his way over and were gonna jam on Guitar Hero-ya gotta
love that game. Hey forgot to tell ya, my bud Nathan and
I keep in touch by email and he gets to go to the SAG
awards tonight! DUDE! Like you are so luckeeeeeyyyy!
Have an awesome week!

Okay, so I like snow and
everything and enjoy snowboarding occassionally but when
it gets to be this time of year, I am ready for some fun
in the sun. Does anybody have any cool vacations
planned? All I know is our next vacation is to more
snow! But that's cool, I'll just make the best of
it. So today I forgot my homework and that was a
major drag because it was done, but I left it at home!
If I were a teacher I'd cut a kid a break! Hey, I am
looking forward to basketball...and since we do have a
break between now and the next Myth Solving mission, my
dad is going to coach with my friends dad! Is that
totally cool or what? Stay warm! ttyl MM

Hey everyone how's it goin?
I gotta say that aside from trying to catch up with some
reading for my AR quiz, I have just been enjoying myself
with some of the latest games that I got. Especially for
my new PSP. It's awesome and totally cool how I can log
on the web with it.
This past week was a blast because it was my birthday
and I had a sleepover with some great friends...you guys
know who you are! We totally spooked ourselves out by
telling ghost stories all night and then the next day
you won't believe when we recorded ourselves with my
video camera in the mirror of the bathroom doing that
old tale of 'Bloody Mary' something really happened and
I am not joking! This weird hissing sound was picked up
on the camera. We were all totally freaked out...and I
know it's not just because we stayed up till 4 am - much
to my parents telling us to go to sleep - lol. So if any
of you have had any freaky experiences like that, drop
me an email and let me know! Anyway I am going to have
to try to talk them into looking into that freaky myth!
So back to school tommorow -YUK! ttyl
