Book Signing at Wittenberg University

My years at Wittenberg University were among life’s best. So I’m psyched to be heading back to my Alma Mater this month for Homecoming Weekend ~ this time to sign books, instead of study them! Here are the details:

Saturday, October 22  /  10:00 – 11:00 am  /  Wittenberg Bookstore

The timing coincides perfectly with my newest release, 52 Weeks of Peace.  They’re also stocking my 2 children’s books, a toy, and a sampling of fun merchandise. (btw, you might want to check out my “where in the world is peace?” campaign, and join in!). And how cool that Dr. Kinnison is scheduled to sign his work from 11-12. I’m certainly in good company.

 

Ohio people (and Wittenbergers in general) are one of the nicest collective bunches on the planet, and one of the main reasons I chose Wittenberg way back when. So if you can, please stop by and say hello. I’d love to see you!

Easter Goodies

It’s almost time for fancy bonnets, colored-egg hunts and chocolate bunnies … which gave me an idea!

How about a literary treat for the young ones’ Easter Baskets? Yes! Fill it up with chocolates, and pink and yellow peeps, tie it with a bow ~ then add something that can be enjoyed long after the last bit of bunny has hopped away.

Naturally, I think the books and toy shown above would be excellent choices  :  ) (and you can find the links to buy them on my books page) ~ but there’s a whole world of great books out there for kids. I’m a huge (HUGE) advocate of children reading (actually, I’m big on everyone reading) … reading to them, reading with them, and when they’re able to read on their own, appreciating their joy at discovering new worlds through words and pictures.

So think about it. Slip a special book inside a child’s Easter basket this year. Really, chocolate AND books? It’s a win-win.
