Biscuit Break with Luke and Nemo
They say that dogs have a lot to teach us. But I never imagined that my two dogs, Luke and Nemo, could teach me so much about writing. After hanging out with them on our front-porch office the past few months, I’ve learned that my trusty assistants really have their paws on the pulse of the writing world – or at least as much of the world as they know. So I’ve decided that Luke and Nemo should share some of their tidbits of writing wisdom on my blog. Look for their Biscuit Break every week at www.jeanieransom.com/blog.
Schedule a Spring 2010 School Visit!
Springtime in schools means test time. Stress levels rise and schedules are turned upside down as everyone focuses on “testing their best.” Scheduling an author visit during this time is usually not an option. And there are usually only a few weeks left in the school year after testing time is over. But a year-end visit from an author can be a great way to reward all the hard work students – and teachers – have put in since the school year began. Whether it’s an assembly, an evening event, or a young authors’ day, I have a few dates available to visit your school, starting in late April. For more information, click here.

Joe Dumpty gets a Soft Shell
You asked for it. Actually, I don’t know who asked for it. But in any case, I’m happy to announce that “What Really Happened to Humpty?” will be available in paperback in July 2010. This means that you can get a copy of the book and still have money left over for a latte or two. You can order soft cover copies in advance at amazon.com, or contact the publisher: www.charlesbridge.com
