And it'll be here before you know it! Pauline Books and Media has a nice seasonal book out -- Celebrate the Season! Twelve Short Stories for Advent and Christmas. It's a great book for kids 8-12. You can check it out at http://www.pauline.org/. And, YES, I have some stories in that book!
I had my first ever radio interview this morning on The Catholics Next Door. It was fun, but it went by in a flash! Greg and Jennifer were so nice which was great because I was nervous. (Thanks, you guys!!) I'd love to get feedback from anybody who listened to the broadcast -- I can use your suggestions!
I'm being interviewed on the radio! Tune in to The Catholics Next Door on Sirius 159/XM 117 about 11:20 this Thursday (October 21) to hear me talk about my books. (I think there may be a podcast on the website later for those who don't have satellite radio.) The Catholics Next Door are Greg and Jennifer Willits. Their fun program is about all kinds of things -- marriage, kids, pop culture, everyday life, etc. I'm looking forward to talking to them!
Books by the Banks, a great book festival, is tomorrow, 10-4 at the Duke Energy Center in Cincinnati. Admission is free, but you'll probably want to buy some books! There will be lots of authors there to autograph their books as well as speakers, a kids' area, etc. Check out the website for more information. Hope to see everybody there!
My featured book at the Books by the Banks Book Festival is Stepping Stones - The Comic Collection from Pauline Books and Media. This comic book treasury contains the complete “Stepping Stones” series which originally appeared in My Friend: the Catholic Magazine for Kids. Readers can join in the adventures of Denver, Chantal, Suki, and Alberto as they journey, step by step, along the path toward God. The friends deal with everyday concerns such as peer pressure, bullying, community service projects, family relationships, and more. It's a fun read -- and the artwork by Chris Sabatino is great!
It's time for school to start! Here's a book from Teacher Ideas Press that's a handy resource for teachers throughout the school year. (Yes, it's one of mine!) All Year Long! Funny Readers Theatre for Life's Special Times offers easy-to-use plays themed to different times of the year -- first day of school, Labor Day, Columbus Day, St. Valentine's Day, a snow day, etc., etc. Check out this video about the book. (It's the first one I've ever made using Movie Maker, a program that, unbeknowst to me until just recently, was lurking on my computer!)
I'm a former special education teacher who now writes for kids and teens. I've been published in many magazines, and I'm also the author of 3 books of children's plays, 2 comic collections, and other books, too.
