Hello!

Happy Fall!  It's a beautiful Sunday morning in my tiny corner of the world this day of October 17, 2010.  The sun is shining high in the sky and the wind is calm.  My darling dog, Jett, took me on a wonderful walk this morning.  Her enthusiasm when the leash comes out is infectious.  She jumps up on all fours and spins around several times showing her appreciation.  How would it look if I used her techniqe to show my gratitude and love?  I think I'll try it. 

Thank you for visiting my website.  It's been almost a year since the launch of "Who's That Man?".   The book is finding its way into the world.  I've received several emails from schools asking permission to use the DVD from the book in classrooms.  I'm happy to grant that permission.  It's my goal to get the book in every school library and public library in North America.  Thank you for helping me with that. 

Last week, I received news that "Who's That Man?" won a Silver Medal in the Moonbeam Children's Book Awards out of the states.  How exciting for my publisher (Your Nickel's Worth), my illustrator (Megan Mansbridge) and me.  We are so thankful!  I will use this medal to help me continue moving the book into every school and public library in North America.  I'm thinking I will travel to Traverse City, Michigan for the medal ceremony in November.  I'll keep you posted.

This week I'll be in South East Saskatchewan on an author tour.  I love travelling and meeting new people.  I'll be sharing the stories behind my books, "Linger" and "Who's That Man?" as well as talking about my new book, "Rockstar!". 

Thanks again for visiting my website.  I'd love to hear from you. 

Love and light,

Marny
