Greetings!
Hello! Happy November!

The holiday season is starting and this month is the full of thanksgiving. For me, this month brings so many things to be thankful for, as you'll see below! However, I am most thankful to all of you whom read and support my work. THANK YOU!

The Today Show picks Where the Mountain Meets the Moon
"Where the Mountain Meets the Moon" is the Today Show Kids Book Club Dec. Selection!

al_rokertI am THRILLED to announce that Where the Mountain Meets the Moon is the December selection for Al Roker's Kids Book Club on the TODAY SHOW!!!!

I am scheduled to appear on the TODAY Show with Al Roker and the Book Club Kids on Friday, December 4th! Tell your friends, spread the word and send me some positive thoughts--hopefully I don't make any social gaffes on national TV...

Read Where the Mountain Meets the Moon with the Book Club Kids and see if they ask the same questions you have. And remember, if you read the book with your own book club you can have a free skype chat with me too!
 Books with Flair
Get personally autographed books for the holidays!

books_with_flair

I've joined Books with flair; a program that partners me with the Porter Square Bookstore  to offer personally autographed books for the holidays! How does it work?

Simply call the Porter Square Bookstore  at 617-491-2220 and ask for a signed or personalized copy of Where the Mountain Meets the Moon.

You pay for the book(s), shipping, and handling, and the bookstore will ship signed stock in time for the occasion, even gift-wrapped if requested. If you want the books personalized, provide the name of recipient to bookseller. I will be going in to sign every Monday until Dec. 21st, so this is a great opportunity to get books specially signed for the holidays!

nice accolade

I was honored and touched (and also a little embarrassed) by this  lovely feature on me in this month's edition of the School and Library Journal.
