Sorry that I haven't been here much, but I have been so busy with Christmas and my family.  First news:  We learned the results of my mom's endoscopy for her cancer.  It was negative and showed that all traces of her cancer are gone.  It was our Christmas miracle, because 2 weeks prior we were told that the chemo wasn't working, so somewhere between those days the cancer vanished.  I am so thankful for all of the prayers from everyone.  S...

Sorry that I haven't written anything lately. I have been so busy with finals and trying to find time to do some Christmas shopping. Ok...Now here is an update on my mom: She had endoscopy with a biopsy last Wednesday, the doctor told me he saw no sings of cancer at all. This is amazing, because just 2 weeks prior to this she had a CAT scan done that showed no signs of shrinkage from chemo, meaning it wasn't working. So somewhere in that 2 weeks GOD healed her. I believe that this was our fam...

I just got in Salina a little while ago and thought I would check in first.  My stomach is so nervous about my mom's surgery tomorrow I ca...

   I am sorry that I haven't written much lately.  I was eagerly working away on my next Lily book, when I found out my mom had been diagnosed with lymphoma.  Her stomach lining is completely surrounded with tumors.  The doctors now have her on tons of meds.  If they meds aren't shrinking the tumors in two weeks, the doctors want to begin chemo.  She has already lost 40 pounds.  Those that know me are familiar with the fact that my mom raised me and my ...

Book reviewed: "The Adventures of Lily"
Author: Darcy J. Busch

Darcy Busch's "The Adventures of Lily" begins with the history of the
Taemites, but I don't dare to describe the creatures for fear of
giving the secret away; and the introduction of twelve-year-old Lily
Wright, a dreamer in every sense of the word. Lily is a detective as
well as a dreamer, we soon learn, going on adventures of many sorts,
usually accompanied by her best friend, Nick.
On the partic...

Today I made the decision to give up on my dream of becoming a doctor.  I am having such a hard time grasping the whole Organic Chemistry concept; so talked with my advisor and have decided to switch my major over to elementary or middle school education.  I know this isn't exactly how I had planned my future, but then again, I never planned on being a published author.  With me being a teacher, that will free up my summers, which will give me time to continue my wriitng.&...

I just returned from my appearance at Scott City, Kansas elementary school.  It was wonderful to return to my old hometown.  I got to meet so many new people and even got to see some familiar ones that I haven't seen in such a long time.  It was really wild to have some of the students come up to me to receive an autographed book and then to learn that I had attended school with their parent was wonderful.  I toured the town and relived some fond memories.  I am hopin...

    Wow, I have been so busy with school, trying to get my next book completed and getting book signings scheduled.  I am happy to say that Borders has agreed to place my book in their store and have asked me to have a book signing on June 7 from 12-2 in WIchita, Kansas.  I am also talking with Barnes & Noble and looks as if I will be having a signing with them in the summer.  I feel like my next Lily book is beginning to get a littl...

Hello,

I have started a page on myspace, but unfortunately I am having problems getting friends.  I am asking those that have pages on myspace to go to my site and request to be my friend.  I would love to spend more time talking with everyone.

Thanks,

Darcy
