Amazon Is Selling It

Submitted by on

I just checked and Amazon is selling it in Books. It has been a very long time but I think I may have read it, can't remember with certainty.

I have been missing your writing. Do you intend to do more?

Blessings.

A search on Natalie Babbitt reveals, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natalie_Babbitt on wikipedia Natalie Zane Babbitt (née Moore; July 28, 1932 – October 31, 2016) was an American writer and illustrator of children's books. Her acclaimed 1975 novel Tuck Everlasting has been adapted into two feature films and a Broadway musical. She received the Newbery Honor and Christopher Award, and was the U.S. nominee for the biennial international Hans Christian Andersen Award in 1982

Searching for "Tuck Everlasting" we find on IMDb: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0283084/ - Winnie Foster has everything a young woman could desire. She comes from a well-bred, wealthy, and respected family. She dresses in the finest clothes and is afforded every opportunity to refine herself. But Winnie finds that the heat of summer is not nearly as stifling as her gilded cage. She longs for freedom, for adventure. She escapes one morning to explore the woods surrounding her family's home, and encounters the Tucks, a close-knit family with a mysterious past that begs the question: If you could live forever, would you? And just when Winnie believes she has answered that question for herself, a mysterious man looking to profit from the source of the Tuck's immortality that will have her question her life, her desires, and what is the right thing to do. And in the end, learns, that death is not what is to be feared, but an unlived life.

I've only watched 15 minutes of it and I am hooked on it. I wish I could write like her.

Right, Sort Of...

Ellen Hayes had nothing to do with Tuck Everlasting; as far as I know, she didn't even take on the pseudonym until the 1990s.

But it's the "Tuck Saga" -- at the time it was active, the largest prose solely-online serial in any genre, afaik -- because the teenaged main character, Eugene Tucker, hates his first name and goes by Tuck or Tucker in basically all his activities. (Except when s/he's Valerie.)
