I thought some of you might be interested in my novel entitled "Soul of the South" which is being tentatively released for the winter of 2005. It is filled with action, romance, and intrigue, as my protagonist serves the South as a spy in Washington, as a diplomat in England and France, and as an officer in the Army of Northern Virginia. My protagonist is also adamantly against slavery, as he makes known to President Lincoln and Confederate President Davis. And, of course, there is much romance in my novel, as my protagonist William Lytham meets a beautiful woman from Virginia set against the backdrop of a beautiful woman he meets while in France as a Southern diplomat. Without giving away too many details, William marries one of them amidst much acclamation with a surprise individual as the best man. You are more than welcome to read a chapter excerpt and purchase the novel on my web site at [link removed].

I got married not long ago and my husband and I are looking for a place to settle down. I am credentialed to teach in California but I am looking to move. What will I need to make my CA credential valid in Maine? Any answers are appreciated. I would also like to know if teachers in Maine are happy with their jobs. thanks, deb
You should contact the Maine Department of Education to discuss certification with them. There may be reciprocity with California, so you might not have to do any additional course work. I taught in a middle school in Maine for 3 years back in the 1990s, and it was nice. People are friendly, in general, and the scenery is beautiful. The winters are long and bitterly cold.
I eventually moved back to CT for another teaching job where I made significantly more $. Maine teacher salaries are low, very low compared to California. From what I've heard and read, Maine hasn't done well economically compared to the rest of the country, and it's even poorer than when I lived there. I've noticed that the prices of homes are not cheap there anymore, either. Prices have gone up, just like in the rest of the country.
Good luck.

A great group of teachers is looking for several states to join our yearly postcard exchange. We are only interested in dedicated teachers who are willing to be 100% committed to this project, so please only respond if you are truly interested. Unless you have wonderful parent volunteers who are willing to supply your postcards and stamps, you will most likely spend around $50 total on postcards and stamps. Please keep that in mind!
Each teacher is responsible for sending one postcard to each participating teacher (you will send out 49 postcards and in turn receive 49 postcards). Messages on the postcards can be written by your students (or by you if you teach younger grades), and may include interesting facts about the city/state you live in, state symbols, etc. A complete address list will be emailed to you by September 1st (possibly earlier if we have 100% participation by then). The deadline for sending your postcards is October 31st.
If you are interested in joining, please email me the following information:
Your name The grade you teach Your school's name Your school's address Your email address Your school's website or your classroom website address
Once again, please only reply if you are certain that you will be able to participate fully in our exchange. Thanks!!
