VISIT TO WASHINGTON ELEMENTARY TOMORROW

I am very excited to meet the fifth and sixth graders from Mrs. Thomas' class from Washington Elementary. Over the past year they got to have a sneak preview of the manuscript before it was in published form! I can't wait to hear what they think. I will be there Wednesday, March 12th at 9 a.m.

Saturday March 29th I will be at Wine Country Books from 1-4 p.m. signing. It is at 54 Broadway in Downtown Geneva. Hope to see you all there.

On April 16th I will be signing and selling books at the Madison Public Library's annual "Books and Cooks." (I'll probably bring in some restaurant goodies from Alessandro's as well).

Here's a question for all of you readers out there: What's your favorite book and why?

Bye, Tanya

SNOW, SNOW BUT THE BOOKS STILL SHOW

The restaurant was closed because of no electricity, my sons are throwing up all over the house day and night from a stomach virus, we are in the middle of the winter's worst blizzard, but . . . UPS delivered my books early! How do they do that?

So if you are in the neighborhood of Alessandro's down on lake road in Ashtabula, you can stop in for a copy (or food!). Or you can now order one from my site. Starting April 1st, you can find them in bookstores across the area. If your bookstore isn't carrying it, ask them to order it through AtlasBooks (that's Fava Press's distributor).

Thanks to everyone who have been giving me support and contacts! Annette, Kim, Kenny. Annette Sheldon has her second book "Big Brother Now" coming out in October. "Big Sister Now" is already available.

Well, the review copies are going out (as soon as I can get to the post office). I will post any and all responses to those!

Happy reading out there,

Tanya

My first 'fan-mail'!

Thank you to Gitta Racinskas for making my day with her supportive e-mail. To even be in the same sentence as 'Harry Potter' in a positive sense is indeed morale boosting!

The Poster is coming to a bulliten board near you

The DragonFly Keeper will be at Alessandro's this weekend, and will be available for order through my site as well. And now I even have my very own promotional poster! I plan on plastering them all over north-east Ohio. (I ordered 1,000 because they were having a sale.)

Hello out there.
The time has been set for the debut signing for The DragonFly Keeper. From 2-4 on March 29th, I will be at Wine Country Books in Geneva, Ohio. I'll be in costume (it's a surprise) and will have refreshments so please come party with the rest of the bibliophiles you know. Look for the posters and articles in the paper next month.

Also the book is arriving! It should be at AtlasBooks by monday, which means I will have copies next week. So you can buy one through the site (autographed for free) or come down to Alessandro's restaurant and get your pre-publication date copy!

It's coming!

Hello to all of you! Thank you for visiting. I'm very excited about the launch of The DragonFly Keeper. Wine Country Books in Geneva will be hosting the first of (hopefully) many bookstore signings. It will be the last weekend in March. When the date is set, I'll let everyone know. The book will also be at Alessandro's restaurant the second half of March so if you just can't wait you can catch it there early.

A very cool bookmark is now circulating with the cover of the book and my website. Maybe even you came here because of it.

I'm still filling in my website so don't feel bad if you couldn't see all the pictures or read an excerpt yet, no one can.

Well I'm hoping this site will evolve into something really exciting. But that's all I can give you for now.
