Book Fair and New Releases

April 13, 2010 in "T" Happenings, Fun with T, General by CJ Connolly | 2 comments

Books about fleas...on fleas!!

First, sorry for the long delay in getting back online.  The inspiration for this entire venture, books, websites, blogs, and so on was my diagnosis of scleroderma.  That being said, there are times when the “cause” of so much joy also has unavoidable “effects.”  But, I’m working to get back to full steam and intend to keep enjoying time with you as long as possible!

This was an eventful week, as the two new titles in the series, The Boomerang and The Bad Enchilada, were released.  They were ready just in time for the Groton Library Children’s Book Fair.  A well attended and well-run event, we met  many interesting and interested people, actually got some ideas for new books, and enjoyed watching the “kids” get their faces painted!

For the first time we had coloring pages from the three books available, which were a big hit.  We’ll get these posted to the website for free downloading within the next week.  We’ll also have pages for the two new books available on the website for your viewing.  They’re truly beautiful…Lisa has once again outdone herself.

As we get ready for the major promotional launch of the three book limited edition package, we’ll keep you posted!

A New Week…a New Adventure

It’s interesting to try to create the story lines that go with each lesson.  Of course, each starts with a title, followed by the starring flea(s), but then the challenge begins!  How to keep it interesting….fun….and yet get the point across without seeming “preachy.”  When I miss the mark, the revisions multiply!

How do each of you envision a story that would engage a child?  What would you see as the key issues, what would make them ask for it to be read again and again!

Talk to you soon!

A New Day…A New Flea!

March 11, 2010 in "T" Happenings, Fun with T, General, Lest We Forget, Memories by CJ Connolly | 5 comments

While working up new story lines today, I realized I didn’t have a flea for the book “Copy Cat,” which will focus on the need to follow one’s own bliss in life….that’s when all of us are at our best and life comes naturally!!

Thought about it…and up and present came ECHO.  Now, wonder what a personality this little guy will have?

Anyway, I’d also like to invite all of you to dig into your own histories, think about all those that have taught you lessons, and join the fun!

Until tomorrow, have a great “T” day!
