Tina Turbin – a New Member of SIBA!

It has been an incredibly successful year thus far for my Danny the Dragon children’s book series, across the globe, and we expect even greater success for the remainder of the year and on into the new year!

Therefore it was only fitting that I become a member of the Southern Independent Booksellers Alliance (SIBA), as a way to get acquainted with the booksellers close to home here in the U.S., and establish some great partnerships along the way.

We’re gearing up for a very exciting promotional and marketing campaign. More exciting news to come shortly!

Have You Visited Us on YouTube?

My Danny the Dragon series has become quite popular, so to keep up with the momentum, we’ve created a Danny the Dragon YouTube page, at which you will find a beautiful video of various images of children from our 2009 Book Tour to schools, hospitals and libraries.

I do hope you’ll visit. And when you do, if you could please take a moment to drop us a comment (and a 5-star vote!), that would be a HUGE help with increasing Danny’s popularity. Thank you!

“Congratulations” Letter from Carol Downing at Blossom Montessori School for the Deaf

I’d like to share a lovely note of congratulations (for my award nomination in the AZ Authors Association Literary Contest and as an award-winning finalist of the National Best Books Awards of 2009) from my dear friend Carol Downing, a teacher at Blossom Montessori School for the Deaf, who also provided the sign language interpretation on the Danny the Dragon Meets Jimmy DVD (based off of my children’s book of the same name).

I just wanted to tell you that Maria has shared your fantastic news with me about your nominations to be announced in Arizona and New York!

All I can say is that when true and honest people do true and honest things from their heart – and then are recognized for the beauty it creates…all is well with the world.

From the bottom of my heart…Congratulations – to all of us here at Blossom you have already won, hands down.

Hugs , Carol D. aka “Danny’s hands”
Blossom Montessori School for the Deaf

Danny the Dragon to Bring Joy to Kids in Victoria, Australia

Much devastation was caused by the Victoria, Australia wildfires of February 2009, including the loss of the children’s book collections at the local libraries and schools.

Through the hard work of authors, writers, concerned citizens and the coordinated efforts of the Society of Children’s Book Writers & Illustrators (SCBWI), the book collections have been re-built as a result of generous book donations from around the world.

I am very pleased to have been able to donate a copy of my Danny the Dragon Meets Jimmy to the collection, plus it’s great to know that the local Victoria, Australia children will have the opportunity to get to know the lovable storybook characters: Danny and his traveling companion Skipper.

I do hope that the book brings joy and sparks the imaginations of the children, in the same way that it has done here in the States!
