Newsletter: July 8th, 2008
Hello Everyone!
First of all, I hope this newsletter finds you all doing well! We’re excited to update you on a few exciting things in store for Ebenezer Flea and his friends. Ebenezer Flea and the Right Thing to Do was featured in a blog on our church’s website last month. I had a meeting with one of the children’s ministry coordinators at Church at Charlotte and they wanted to help get the word out about the book. You can read the article here. They plan to incorporate the book into future lessons in children’s ministry later this summer or early fall. How cool
Secondly, Baldwin-Wallace College, Tim’s and my alma mater, is featuring me (as well as two other B-W graduates) in an upcoming article in the Pursuit about new authors. I haven’t seen the article yet, but I’m excited to get my copy of the alumni newsletter to check it out. I’m excited to report that the B-W bookstore will soon be carrying the book as well. Thanks, B-dub!
Ebenezer Flea has officially been added to several libraries in Ohio and two here in Charlotte. Ebenezer has also made his way all the way out to the West Coast! Thanks to some connections my Mother-in-Law, Michele, has through the Willoughby Public Library, Ebenezer Flea can be checked out by kids in California. Woohoo!
And finally, the second Ebenezer Flea story is currently being sent out to a few publishers in hopes of catching their interest. Keep your fingers crossed!
Thanks for sending me pictures of your kids and dogs reading Ebenezer Flea. We’re still in the process of adding more, so keep ‘em coming! Your support means so very much to us. A special thanks goes out to Mr. Dotson and his class for reading Ebenezer to other elementary school students…to Julius the Beagle for sporting his flashy Ebenezer Flea t-shirt all over Colorado Springs…as well as the students and Principal (my Dad!) at St. Paul Lutheran School for having me visit and listening to me read. The ladies in the library were pretty cool too. (Thanks Mom!)
Sincerely,
Hannah (as well as Ebenezer Flea & Friends)
