A Day at the FAIR!

Went to the O.C Kids book fair this past Sunday. Anyone who loves books- loves to buy books, hear people read from books, or just be around books--- should go to this fair....next year.

I bought a few new reads myself. Two YA novels (I can't help it! I love the fantasy and Sci Fi!!!) and I will be enjoying them with a cup of tea and this nice cool weather we've been having. Very moody.

The first one I bought was "Inside Out" by Maria V. Snyder.

It's new newest novel, and looks pretty cool. Think City of Ember, contained, Fallout. I'm
excited to see what the world is like.

The next book with be a guilty pleasure:
Lauren Kate's "Fallen" sounded good because there were so many fans there to hear her read,
and what she read was entertaining. Even the book sellers at the booths recommended it.

In other news, we're still working on the Wheeze story and trying to get it together to send to publishing. It is a labor of love, but it'll come together soon. We're looking at alibris.com, lulu.com, and another indi publishing place to help get the book out there. There are so many opportunities to get the work to the public, you would be surprised. I'm starting to believe that if you want to make a book, make a book. Don't think that someone has to ask you to or pay you to. just do it and use all the free tools to send it out into the world. There are no boundaries!
