Ozarks Literacy Council

Hi everyone,

One of the book signings that had to be postponed until a later date was at Barnes & Noble on March 21. I was to sign copies of AFTER DARK and extend the signing time to allow for a Book Fair to raise money for Ozarks Literacy Council. Executive Director of the organization, Amy Jardell, had been working hard in the background to help make the event successful and I hope we can still draw from her planning when the Book Fair takes place later in the year.

If you aren’t familiar with the work of OLC, here’s a link to their homepage: https://www.ozarksliteracy.org/ and here’s how to reach Amy if you have questions about volunteering, donating, or both. It’s a wonderful organization that works with people of all ages to improve literacy skills and brighten futures. Amy J Jardell MA, Executive Director, 417-616-0551 wk, 417-631-2454 cell.

Book signing today

Hi everyone,

I’ll be signing AND THE BULLFROGS SING today at Barnes & Noble from 11:00 – 1:00. Come by if you’re out and about.

I’ll also be signing all the copies that were pre-ordered and pre-paid by parents at David Harrison Elementary and McBride Elementary. They can pick up their copies today and any that remain at the store will be delivered to the schools on Monday.

Have a good weekend. I hope you don’t get stormed on where you live.

The pleasures of a signing

  • Hi everyone,

    Yesterday at my Barnes & Noble signing:

    My thanks to Kathy McQueen for introducing me to her grandson. It was a highlight of the event.

    Writers Hall of Fame was having a Book Fair at the store, meaning that a percent of all purchases accompanied with a free coupon went to the organization for future writing scholarships to budding young writers.

    To do my part I signed copies of the three recent titles: 7 KEYS TO RESEARCH FOR WRITING SUCCESS, A PLACE TO START A FAMILY, and CRAWLY SCHOOL FOR BUGS.

    As always, my thanks to Renee Hunt, Jim Troye, and everyone at Barnes & Noble for making my stay so enjoyable.

    Onward and upward!

    Hi everyone,

    I’m getting so I look forward to the extra hours of sleep on Saturday. I was such a slug-a-bed today that I was running late getting to my signing at Barnes & Noble. Stayed late to make up for it. My thanks to Renee Hunt, community relations manager at B&N, for her generous spirit and patience. We raised a little money today for the Writers Hall of Fame book fair. I was happy to do my small part.

    Sorry about the pillow scene. It was the best I could do to buy a little time. (:>

    If you’re having good weather today wherever you are, happy raking and mowing and spraying and weeding and patio furniture moving and sneezing. Tiz the season at last!!
