Greetings!
Hello! Happy May!

I'm going to apologize in advance for all my mentions of WHERE THE MOUNTAIN MEETS THE MOON in the next few newsletters. I'm just SO excited about my new novel. Not only do I think this book is the best I have ever written, the novel is being printed in full-color (very unusual for a novel);  I think it is also the most beautiful. And it's almost out! Please help me welcome it into the world!

Where the Mountain Meets the Moon Book Trailer
trailers with sneak peaks of the color interiors

trailer_imageWhere the Mountain Meets the Moon is a novel (for grades 3-6) but, like the classic books of yore, it will have full page color illustrations sprinkled through it.  To get a sneak peak at the upcoming book, watch the new trailer I've just posted (this is the more extended trailer I promised after last month's teaser).

If your band width allows, please view it in High Quality (hit the HQ button at the bottom)--it makes a big difference!

WHERE THE MOUNTAIN MEETS THE MOON BOOK TRAILER

WTMMTM_cover You're Invited!
Official Book launch upcoming

Yes, the party I have been talking about non-stop is right around the corner! Don't miss WHERE THE MOUNTAIN MEETS THE MOON's coming out party:

Saturday, June 6th at 5:30
Porter Square Books
25 White Street
Cambridge, MA 02140
Tel: (617) 491-2220

I will be reading and signing and giving away uber-cool goodie bags! In these bags (amongst other great loot) will be a homemade boxed cupcake. One of these cupcakes will have a coin baked inside it. If you have the cupcake with the coin in it--you are the WINNER! What do you win?

You'll win your name or likeness in my upcoming book!


Isn't that neat? Wouldn't you like to see yourself in a book? Or your child? So, come to the signing and get a cupcake!

This is the Evite, but I'm not sure if it is accessible without a formal invite. Just e-mail me at gracenotes@gracelin.com if you cannot get through and I'll put you on "the list." Please pass on the invite to anyone you think might be interested and RSVP if you can, so I know how many cupcakes to make (of course, you can come last minute too--I'll make extras!). Hope to see you!!

Not in the Boston area? Stay tuned  for the virtual launch invite!
