You were Haley's middle school teacher??? How cool is that!?!? Yeah, i'm a bit smitten still. I'm guessing she was a pretty delightful kid.

Mr. Bill that is so awesome, you just put a big smile on my face - congrats on the book deal very exciting!

If it was Haley-holic from IDF writing that she'd probably title it "Haley In My Navel" in her distorted kinda way. I know Haley is petite but she would only fit in the Jolly Green Giant's Navel.
Oh...you said Haley in my Novel, not Navel...never mind.

Tusk…thanks for the reminder…I forgot about this thread…I just came back from Barnes & Noble with my copy of the book...purchased with my teacher discount! Looking forward to reading it.

Thanks for the mention, guys! I haven't been posting but I'm forever lurking. I don't go a day without checking out what's up at haleyfans. So excited for the EP and still loving on Creep and Habits especially.

Bill, I finished The Porcupine of Truth last night…really enjoyed the story and your writing and even though I knew Haley was mentioned, what fun it was when I finally came across her name I always spend a class period talking about all my summer reading with my 8th grade students and look forward to including this book in my talk.

Thanks so much! I am glad you liked it, and I appreciate you telling your students about it. The Haley reference in the first draft included the song title "Undone," which seemed appropriate for Aisha. But that got cut
