December Booksignings and Gift Baskets!

I did a book signing for Midnight Madness in Downtown Annapolis at the Hardbean Coffee & Booksellers on Thursday, December 2nd from 6-9 PM. It was very cold weather, but fun to sign out where you could see people walking by and hear bands playing Christmas Carols.

I will be doing another book signing for Midnight Madness at the same place on Thursday, December 9th from 6-9 PM, and signing for the Eleventh Hour in Downtown Annapolis. Usually I will be signing outside in the Winter air, so stop by and say hi.


I also put together some cute Christmas gift baskets for Moonlight Memoirs.

They contain a handmade pair of Moonlight Memoirs mice, sleeping in a handmade little nest, an autographed copy of Moonlight Memoirs (perhaps double signed by author and illustrator), a pen, business card, post cards, two magnets (one small and one large), a bookmark signed by Melody Lea Lamb the illustrator, a cotton shirt, all conveniently packed into a decorative Christmas Basket.

The mice are made by Miss Danielle. She handcrafts, felts, and hand-crochets each individual creation. She is Henry JM the Cat's Ambassador from Minneapolis, Minn. To find out more information about her visit Henry's website here.

That's all for now. Check out Moonlight Memoirs Twitter, and my Twitter. Also Moonlight Memoirs Facebook and mine are updated constantly for the latest news about Moonlight Memoirs! To purchase Moonlight Memoirs please visit our website here. Thanks so much!

Moonlight Memoirs Wins More Awards!

Moonlight Memoirs has just won three more awards. It won from the Young Voices Foundation 2010 Book Awards: The Gold Award for Best Regional Fiction in the Mid-Atlantic, the 2010 Silver Award in Inspirational and Spiritual, and the 2010 Silver Award for Children's Picture Book for All Ages.

Recently we have been very busy working on a project called The Helping Paws for Hospice. What we have done is to donate over three hundred copies of Moonlight Memoirs to hospice's nationwide. We have recieved very kind letters of appreciation back saying the book has been added to their library to help families.

In an upcoming event in October, I will be booksigning at the Annapolis Boat Show Downtown at both the Sailboat Show (7th-8th) and Powerboat Show (14th-15th) outside of the Hard Bean Coffee & Booksellers.

Culture Camp and ALA 2010 Conference

The past few weekends have been filled with fun adventures. On Saturday the 19th, I led a Creative Writing workshop at the FCC Chinese Culture Camp. I was extremely privileged to meet Jay Wolf Schlossberg-Cohen and be in his Creative Art Workshop. I learned many new things that will stay with me for the rest of my life, and hopefully left an imprint on the children to inspire them to share their work, and always carry on.



On Saturday the 26th, I was invited to participate in the American Library Association's 2010 Conference at the Washington Convention Center. I had a book signing at the Quality Books, Inc. booth, one of Moonlight Memoirs's distributors. It was a new exciting experience, my first convention, and one of the best book signings yet! I hope that Moonlight Memoirs helped some people, and gets into the libraries.


Another event coming up on July 8th, I will be on the radio interviewed by Cynthia Brian of "Be The Star You Are" live. The time and radio station will be announced in Moonlight Memoirs's July newsletter.
