CANDLE SONG, by Bobbi Sinha-Morey

memorable imagery she displays, the depth of her imagination, her pastiches of life and people who
inhabit them. Her words are like a breath of the golden dawn; their gentle taste and wisdom fall lightly on the tongue.

Jack's News!

  by your bookstore cat,  gossip columnist, and feline friend.

Author Kris Condi sent us a clip of the publicity she is getting  in her home town of Crescent City, IL. She will do a book signing of her latest book COUNTING ON YOU, on Sept. 23, at the Watseka Library from 6:30 TO 8 P.M. Don’t miss it if you’re in her neighborhood. Way to go on getting recognition, Kris!

Dorice Nelson, author of two historical favorites, CLAN GUNN:GEREK and SARATOGA SUMMER 1863, has moved from upstate New York to balmy Carolina. Hope she enjoys not shoveling this winter!

And speaking of moving, Carolina author Joan L. Cannon, who wrote MAIDEN RUN, has moved north, to Litchfield, CT, where she reports finding many new friends in an active writers' community. I sure hope she likes snow...

Our wooly bears report it will be a cold one this year. I found my first bear on the back porch this week. I wanted to play, but he ignored me and went back to wherever Wooly Bear Caterpillars come from. Wide bands of black, means cold and very fuzzy brown means snow... He had both!

Me? I'm staying inside...



   If you are going to have a book signing somewhere, make a personal appearance, or are planning a launch party where you live, please let us KNOW. Just put NEWS FOR JACK, in the subject line, and we will be sure your news is included here in the blog and posted on Facebook!
