The soldiers who keep us safe. The police and firefighters who risk their lives daily. The school teachers who deal with ALL THOSE KIDS!!!! <br /><br />I remember meeting one such hero.

Love the cover on your book and that excerpt has me wanting to head for the store. :)<br /><br />I think there are many heroes among us: everyday people we don't hear about because the news media focuses more on negative acts and the sensational stories.

Being a Harry Potter fan i always think of Neville in terms of heroism. Neville wasn't the bravest person at first and took nearly 5 books before he worked himself into a hero. I think most people are like that.

Heroes come in all forms, I think, even though we mostly think of persons who do acts beyond the norm as said heroes. A hero can be a child who knows Mama is sad and gives her a hug, or a neighbor who visits an elderly neighbor for a chat, or a person that snowblows your driveway in winter, etc.<br /><br />I do think of our militaryDebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12831144769121001738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57166953240040768.post-69836924113275577732009-12-30T09:17:06.571-05:002009-12-30T09:17:06.571-05:00Hello and welcome, Annette!

How did it feel to see your "baby" on the shelves for the first time?<br /><br />Great blog!
