I guess you were expecting Benson on the blog today. Ow! Lily just punched me in the shoulder and said, “Bennett!” She knows I know his last name is really Bennett, but it annoys her when I get it wrong, so I keep doing it. Ouch! Now she wants me to delete the part about her punching me. I said no. Ha ha, ducked that one. Ow!
Anyway, Benson doesn’t know which end is up, so I snatched the Tuesday spot before he knew what was what. Besides, he doesn’t deserve to be front and center on Forgive My Fins release day. That day should belong to Lily and, well, if not Lily then at least not him.
So, introductions, huh? I’m Quince Fletcher and I live next door to Lily with my mom. I ride a motorcycle and work part-time at a lumberyard. It’s hard work, but it helps pay the bills. And my mom definitely needs help paying the bills. She doesn’t have anyone but me.
Um, what else? As you might have guessed from this blog and if you read the first sixty pages of Forgive My Fins already (which you can do for free at the HarperCollins site) I have a lot of fun pushing Lily’s buttons. Don’t think I’m doing it just to be mean. I have my reasons. They’re just not reasons I want to share with the whole world right now, okay? To find out, you’ll have to read Forgive My Fins.
