Firebird
...From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Echo E. Firebird<br /><br />E.L. Konigsburg's novel From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler was not simply one of the reason why I began writing, but it's also the reason why the main character of my novel Firebird, Echo, lives in the New York Public Library after running away from home. Inspired by the book she read as a child, Echo stops by the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Finding the Met's security a little too thorough, she opts instead to make the NYPL her home. America's brave librarians have fought valiantly to keep security cameras out of libraries to protect their readers' rights so all Echo has to do is avoid the night guard. The nickname is an homage to the book that inspired both me and my character to do the things we do.

I've gone "walkabout" and now live overseas. Hamster comes from my maiden name, Hamstead, so people in school called me either hamster or hamhead.

First, I sold my soul to the Devil for a book deal (don't judge, when you are just one out of a-billagillion wanna be authors, one needs to resort to drastic measures) Second, the Devil requests that I write his biography (he wants me to show the World how caring and benevolent he really is. He seems to have had a lot of bad press since that apple and garden fiasco) Third, he plans to use some kind of devilish trickery to hypnotize the World's population t believe whatever I write in His new biography. Fourth, I guess you will just have to read the book to find the reason for the nickname. raballardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12439614104607491198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-308214465210382791.post-45823721301683379702013-04-26T15:28:44.951-04:002013-04-26T15:28:44.951-04:00My entry's nickname would be Drain-Free Fairy,...My entry's nickname would be Drain-Free Fairy, the first character my MC encounters.Honghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12461027195308987836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-308214465210382791.post-46806441897810616872013-04-26T15:14:32.378-04:002013-04-26T15:14:32.378-04:00My entry's nickname would be HeadscarfJazz.
