IRIS DESTINY by Joseph Daniel Carr. 

   To almost everyone Colin Craft is an average kid in the 9th grade. But secretly, he is the crime fighting “Newspaper Myth,” a phenomena most people think is a publicity stunt. Few believe he can really read minds, create ice, manipulate flame, and even teleport objects with his mind. While the Myth is discounted by the public, one man knows the truth...a crooked cop named Allen Crestmere identifies him and becomes his first real enemy, fighting him not as a human, but with the same supernatural powers.

Jack's News!

and gossip columnist!

 

Thank Goodness she's finished with Payroll. We are (finally!) getting our treats on time.

We've had still more and more storms and thundershowers, not to mention the HUGE fireworks at the nearby Hyatt Chesapeake Resort. I hid under the bed until I remembered... Oh yeah, they did it last year, too. 

Spunky still didn't pay a bit of attention. She just slept on the back porch swing with stars and stripes exploding in the Northern sky above her.  She really isn't afraid of anything. Personally, I have to say I don't think she's very smart. 

Me? I paced, again. 

Please don't forget to let me know 

what you are all up to! 

Just send Arline an e-mail with 

 "News for Jack" 

in the subject line, and

I'll make sure it shows up right here. 

  Thanks!
