Day 51 of 84 Days of 84 Ribbons: My Book Events

by · Published · Updated

Yesterday I visited three writing classes at Shahala Middle School in Vancouver, WA. I had the chance to share writing ideas such as “what’s in the protagonists purse/wallet/school backpack/gym bag”, Lauraine Snelling’s glad/mad/sad/bad activity and then a detailed character worksheet. Those grade six students caught on easily. Wish I’d had a writer come speak with my class when I was their age. I might have started writing much sooner.

Now I am turning my attention to a handful of book events. I hope you will share this information with family and friends you have in any of these areas. For every event I’ll have give-aways, drawings, chances to speak with book lovers and the chance to personalize book autographs. Reservation are suggested for all events through my website www.paddyege/events under Everbrite. (The writing conference and writing group are visits, not events so no drawings!)

Traveling is fun but connections to home are welcome surprises. I’d appreciate meeting people and hearing comments like…”(Mary), our common friend sent me by to say hello and buy a book,” or “I stopped in to say hello and wish your luck on your events.” You, your family and friends are encouraged to catch up to me at the following locations this May:
