Read 'Til You Drop

Tomorrow, I'll be on a panel and reading from SORCERY AND THE SINGLE GIRL at the Virginia Festival of the Book.  My panel is at 8:00 p.m. at the Charlottesville Barnes & Noble.  More information on my website, here.

If any of you are in the area, stop by!

Mindy, figuring out what to read...

Last night, I sent out the January newsletter, the first-ever quarterly update to my readers.  It included some news, an announcement of the new site design, and Jane Madison's New Year's Resolutions.  It also included a special contest, only for newsletter readers, with prizes that have never before been available to my readers.

If you'd like to sign up for future issues of the newsletter, send me email - mindy@mindyklasky.com - with the subject "Newsletter", and I'll add you to the list!

With a new book looming on the horizon, I'm considering tweaking my website (yes, again....)  This won't be a major overhaul; rather, just some relatively minor adjustments.

What is your favorite author website?  (And why?)

What is the one "must-have" for an author website?

What is the one "will-never-visit-again" for an author website?

If you were King/Queen Of My Website what would you change?

Here's the site:   www.mindyklasky.com

Mindy, mulling over options (and not promising any changes :-) )

Yet another in a frustrating series of quick updates...

Halloween in June was great fun - the folks at  The Christmas Attic had some *wonderful* virgin mojitos, were great company - and we even sold a few books.  I look forward to heading back in October, when SORCERY is out.

Last night, we went to see JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR, out at Wolf Trap.  The staging was interesting, and the performances were generally very good.  I was more than a bit unnerved by the applause that Tim Neely (Jesus) got when he first appeared in a halo of white light, and when he's resurrected at the end.  The audience seemed to be reacting to far more than basic star power...

Juggle, juggle, run, run - I'm off to Kansas City and Chicago; short trips to each, but a challenge for packing.

And I'll try to check in with something substantive from the road...  

Mindy, wanting to put down roots for a week or two...

Just a reminder that I'll be reading from GIRL'S GUIDE TO WITCHCRAFT on Saturday, June 9, at The Christmas Attic in Old Town Alexandria (Virginia) - 125 S. Union Street - from 3:00 - 5:00.  We'll have virgin mojitos, door prizes, and a whole lot of fun.  Come see us!  If you can't come see us, send your friends!

Mindy, looking forward to a fun event with some great local business owners!

Hey, folks in the Washington, DC area!  I'm doing an event related to GIRL'S GUIDE TO WITCHCRAFT on June 9!

Here are the details:

Place:    Christmas Attic
                125 S Union St
            Alexandria, VA 22314
            (703) 548-2829
             www.christmasattic.com

Time:   3:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m.

What:   Christmas Attic is a wonderful little store in Old Town Alexandria.  While it (duh!) specializes in Christmas goods, its second-biggest event is Halloween.  We've decided to celebrate Halloween in June, with a reading from GIRL'S GUIDE TO WITCHCRAFT.  I'll also sign books, of course.  I'll have prizes for everyone who attends!

Hope to see you there!

Mindy

Drum roll please!

On Friday, June 1, at 3:00 in the afternoon, I'll be signing advance reader copies of SORCERY AND THE SINGLE GIRL at Book Expo America in New York City.  I'll share the signing time with Carole Matthews, Jennifer Sturman, Wendy Markham and Kyra Davis.  If you're going to be at BEA, please stop by!

Mindy, thrilled
