Happy Summer!

Given that a lot of the subscribers to this newsletter are in the education field, I just want to take a moment and wish all the teachers, media specialists, administrators, and students a happy summer. I'll see some of you in the coming months at the literacy camps that are on the horizon. I'm looking forward to them all! 

Custom Book Fundraisers!

If you're interested in a custom book fundraiser for 2019-2020, please get in touch soon to reserve your spot. Space will be limited this year. If you've sent in your deposit and agreement, you should have received an e-mail questionnaire. This document is what helps me write the book. If you have received your questionnaire, please return it soon so that production can begin.

In the past, schools have had the option of coupling their book with either a t-shirt or my other pre-published books. When comparing the sales of various schools, a pattern emerged. Schools that sold books only tended to raise more money than schools that sold books and shirts. As a result, the t-shirt option will no longer be available in future sales.  

Contest Winner!

What was I drawing in last month's contest?

There were a lot of entries - most of them correct - for our last contest. The correct answer was: Harry Potter!

All of the correct entries were entered into a drawing for an exclusive magnet pack. The winner is...Jeremy S. of SC! Your magnets are on their way.  

Artfields!

Artfields 2019 has come to a close! I wrote a brief blog entry about my new, featured piece, 26 LEAD SOLDIERS. It's an animation that interprets one of my favorite historical quotations. I hope you enjoy checking out the animation!
