Recently a friend who quite aptly goes by the nickname "Bookworm" purchased four copies of The Flight To Brassbright. She donated them all to Little Free Libraries in South Minneapolis and Richfield, Minnesota. What a delightful act of kindness!

I've received assorted encouragements during the past week, and am spending my Saturday reflecting on them. I'm very grateful for all the wonderful folk I'm encountering on this crazy writing journey.
If you've ever read my own writing (and if not, here, have a cookie, my you are looking nice today, is that a new haircut?) knows that I'm a foodie. My characters indulge in lavish meals, and seem to always be hungry for the next one. So, it's very fitting that J.B. Garner has reviewed my book, The Flight To Brassbright, at his 'Starving Author' site, which carries a fun foodie-theme throughout.
Auditions are underway for "The Flight To Brassbright" Audio Book. So far, really good! Would you like to audition for the voice of Constance? (and all the background voices too, whew!) You are very welcome to give it a go.
If you are a librarian. If you know a librarian. If you have a library card. Please indulge me? See, book royalties are nice, but I knew from the get-go I wasn't going to get rich being an author.

Here's a new page at my website with information for librarians and library enthusiasts!

If you are a resident of the virtual world of Second Life, I cordially invite you to the monthly book discussion at the rather luxurious R.F. Burton Public Library in the steampunk city of New Babbage. I enjoy these discussions - it's a fun and lively group. In March, I'm very pleased to announce that The Flight To Brassbright has been chosen for discussion.
I’m riding a happy wave of encouragement, thanks to the thoughtful and downright amazing reviews that readers have shared for The Flight To Brassbright. This…
I was in a 'make all the stuff!' mood today. After goofing about with various graphics, words and templates, I've now got a big fistful of laminated bookmarks, all ready to give away locally.
I figure anyone can print a flyer. They usually are glanced at and then tossed. Why not take a tiny step further and make something both informative and also useful? I know personally, I can never have too many bookmarks - but I'm usually reading about nine books at a time.
