I did a cool thing this morning - I went to a middle school near me (Woodbury Middle School, in Salem, NH) and participated in their "Read to Lead" program. It's a volunteer program they run every year, where they ask about 50 volunteers from all walks of life to come in and do a 15-minute reading to the 6th, 7th and 8th graders. We got the email at work, and I volunteered.
Well, I showed up with my big book o' Celtic Legends under my arm (because it was 10-minute readings and I love Celtic legends) and signed in. I got a bunch of 7th-graders, and we had a BLAST! They especially came alive when I told them I was an author. We talked about how I got published, what I read, why I read - they were great.
And more good news!!!!
Not Your Father's Horseman is one of THREE DMP books on the Short List for Science Fiction for ForeWord Magazine's Book of the Year!!!! (The other two are Legacy of Morevi and Earthcore)
Commence the celebrations! (and the press releases)
