This past Saturday afternoon, I was at the Chapters Store in Scarborough signing my book.  I met lots of wonderful kids and their parents.  Kudos to the ambitious kids who worked hard to complete my scavenger hunt… Way to go!

This weekend, I will be signing books at the Guelph Chapters Bookstore alongside my author pals — all authors of adult books.  The scavenger hunt will again be offered to curious kiddos (with a fun little giveaway), as well customers who drop by to say hello can help themselves to a free Starbucks coffee and a delectable treat by the chef extroardinaire, Carla Johnson, author of Cooking with Sin.

Drop by to meet us all:

• Steve Liddell, author of the humorous fiction novel, Honest Lee
• Carla Johnson, author of Cooking with Sin — recipes dipped in alcohol
• Mark Loeffler, Real Estate guru and author Investing in Rent-to-Own Property
• Steve Wilson, co-author (with Steve Ludzik) of sports memoir, Been There Done That

There will a bit of something for everyone. Hope to see you there.

I recently hung out with like-minded entrepreneurs at Oakville’s e-Spot and had a great time talking about Danny in a Newfangled World and my blog, porridgereport.com.  The video is at the sidebar.

A Cyber-Tale for Kids

// February 18th, 2010 // 7 Comments » // Books

Ten-year-old Danny Lenesky can’t imagine anything more fun in the whole world than playing on his computer.That is, until he gets sucked right into it and lands smack in the middle of a video game. 

He zooms like a pinball from one game to another, dreaming of video game glory.  Before long, he comes across Jingo, a kind blue mutant, who teaches Danny about the tricks of his virtual world.  More alluring, however, is spunky Desmond whose thrill seeking ways lead Danny further and further into the unknown. 

Soon, Danny realizes his recklessness has jeopardized Jingo’s life, and it’s almost too late to save him. Forced to decide between friend and fun, Danny abandons the games.  But he has to act fast.  With Desmond sabotaging his every move, Danny’s race against the clock seems doomed to fail.  Pressing on, he knows that Jingo’s fate rests on him and that each decision he makes – no matter how difficult – will determine if he can ever return home.

This cyber-tale for video-game-loving kids will be podcast one chapter at a time.  Eventually, it will be available as a real-life book!  The author is in talks with her publicist (who is coincidentally herself) to determine the ideal book launch date.  Details to follow… one day.
