Author Haemi Balgassi has a new blog. Haemi is the first real friend I made in children’s books, and I love her wholeheartedly. Surf over to check it out, then stop over to her Web site, and if you haven’t already, pick up copies of Peacebound Trains and Tae’s Sonata. Peacebound Trains can even be read online as part of the U.S. government’s Korean War Commemoration.
