A HEAP OF TROUBLE NOW

Benjy is an eleven-year old prankster and daydreamer. He knows the difference between right and wrong, but his enthusiasm for creating pranks always seems to land him in trouble. Following the first prank of the school year, Miss Nettie warns Benjy about receiving a visit from the Belsnickel. Miss Nettie sends home a note with Benjy to give to his parents. Of course. Benjy gets distracted. When he finally makes his way home he gazes down at his family farm. He can’t believe what he is seeing. One thing for sure, he knows it isn’t good. “Oh no!” Benjy says. “Looks like I’m in a big heap of trouble now!

IT'S A BOOK LAUNCH CELEBRATION

When I received word that my book would be released on Nov. 15, my mind started to kick into overdrive. I have just completed the final edits for my editor and now am looking forward to getting the book to my readers.

To start, my first book signing will be on Nov. 30 in Middleburg at their Log Cabin Christmas celebration. The the real celebration takes place on Dec. 9 when my Book Launch Party will be held at 2 p.m. at the Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in Liverpool.

There will be a short program, drawings, a kid's craft table, a dedication of the book, and a book signing. Family, friends and neighbors are invited to the Book Launch. All I ask is that you respond to me at bonnieats@yahoo.com or call me at 717-309-8123. The decor will reflect Christmas and life in the 1930s, the time period the book takes place. I hope to see you there!
