Again, I wrote this when first purchasing our East Coasthome and was bombarded with questions and calls after my many years in LA with working with the kids in our Burbank Studio and working with one of my sons, Jason in television shows and stage- Les Miserables and music.

You may purchase it on line on Amazon as well as read many reviews.

Thank you, Tina Turbin

Mara Rouse has a history of exceptional credits to her resume to add another jam packed filled week of applying make-up for the celebrity pre-parties to the Grammys as well as the Grammys this year, 2010. Mara Rouse is now the make-up artist for any parties or shoots we do while in I am in Los Angeles.

Mara specializes in Special Effects but loves it all. If it involves applying make-up she has interest. Mara moved here from Washington state to pursue her career working and apprenticing with Top people in the business. Hard work and perseverence got her to where she is now and we are very proud to have her as part of our LA team.

While in LA there are many times we need a little make-up done on the kids or me ( not Danny of course), to look just a bit better on a video or film shoot with the lighting. She has helped in the past and she has officially signed on as our “team”, unless something more important comes up- like the Grammys.

Thank you Mara!       Tina Turbin

View a sample of our press coverage here at one of the many news sites that covered the event.

I’m so thankful to have been able to participate in such a fine event and performance.

More news to come about our upcoming projects for our Danny the Dragon DREAMS CD (audio version of my children’s book), as we are gearing up to launch an exciting promotional campaign.

Today is the big day and we’re absolutely thrilled to be a part of the Sesame Street Halloween Concert!

To have this opportunity to introduce my Danny the Dragon series (the book and the new audiobook Danny the Dragon DREAMs) and provide the audience a special sneak preview of our latest creation: Danny the Dragon Meets Jimmy on DVD, is such a pleasure.

If you haven’t already, be sure to read the Sesame Street Halloween concert press release.

Danny the Dragon (lovable character from my children’s series of the same name) will surely enjoy this introduction. And I hope that the 2,000 attendees will as well.

Time to get back to getting prepared for the event!

We are seeing great press coverage of this well-loved family event. Click here and scroll halfway down to read a recent article about the concert.

The excitement is mounting for the “Sesame Street Halloween” Concert (to be performed by the Pasadena City College Orchestra) at Pasadena City College on October 30th 2009.

Not only is this a big debut for my children’s book series Danny the Dragon, but this also marks the official release of the accompanying Danny the Dragon DREAMS CD and audiobook, profits of which are donated to the Celiac Disease Center at Columbia University Medical Center. We will also be providing a sneak preview of the Danny the Dragon Meets Jimmy DVD with sign-language interpretation, profits of which go to the Blossom Montessori School for the Deaf.

John A. Sexson Auditorium – main performing arts venue on the campus of the Pasadena City College.

I am thrilled to have the opportunity to work with the distinguished conductor of the Pasadena City College Orchestra.

On October 30th, as part of a very special “family” concert that the Orchestra will perform to an audience of 2,000, we will be releasing my Danny the Dragon DREAMS CD and the “Danny the Dragon Meets Jimmy” DVD (sign interpretation for the deaf), based off of my award-winning children’s book of the same name. The CD which also features the “Danny the Dragon Meets Jimmy” audiobook, is composed of beautiful classical music, and one of the classical pieces will be performed live for the first time ever at the concert.

Profits from the sales of the CD will be generously donated to the Celiac Disease Center at Columbia University Medical Center, to support Dr. Peter Green’s research and efforts to raise celiac awareness.

Profits from the sales of the DVD will be donated to the Blossom’s Montessori School for the Deaf.

The concert promises to be a wonderful event. It is the Orchestra’s most sought-after and prestigious concert of the year. More details to come!
