What's next in Candlewood?

Hi, everyone!

We had a wonderful time talking with all of you at the Arlington Barnes and Noble on Saturday, despite the construction issues.
I had lots of questions about book three, The Legend of the Dragon Sword. It's finished and with my editor, who is looking it over again. So hang in there with me! As soon as we get a release date, I'll let you know, believe me. (That's cartwheel day around here!)

Also big news for Candlewood: The Legend of the Dragon Sword. It won the Abilene book award for 2009! I was tickled and pleased about that. By the way, come to Abilene, Texas on September 27th at the Abilene civic center, from 9 am until 3pm. You can't get lost-lots of signs, and if I can find the place, you all can. There's lots of fun and Texas authors there with their latest books, so come on down.

The calender is still not saving, for some reason so let me give you and update of where we'll be next.
We'll be at the Lark Bookstore, Weatherford, Texas on Sep. 3d from 1 until 3. It's across from the Walmart store on Ft Worth Highway, Old 51. You can't miss it. This is a lovely, new store so we hope to see you there.
Also, Sep 27th, as I mentioned is the Abilene book fair.
Stay tuned for October and November dates. We'll take a small break in December for the holiday which will soon be upon us. Yikes!
See you soon and remember,
For God, King and Candlewood!

Hello, everyone

Well, as you can see, my calender isn't up to snuff yet. Should be done by this weekend, per my web designer!

We just returned from a book signing in Arlington, Texas at the new Barnes and Noble in the Parks Mall. It is a beautiful store and worth spending some time in.
Many wonderful people came through including one young man named, "Michael," and I hope to hear from him when he reads both books!

Next up is the Hastings store in Waxahachie, Texas on July 26, from 2 until 4 pm, so come on down (or up) and see us there. The store can be seen and acessed from the highway, straight to Waxahachie and I promise, you won't get lost. (If I didn't, you won't, believe me!)

For those of you who love a good mystery, my mother and fellow author, Barbara Newton will be there with "Sammie," her first of the Dectective Brandle mysteries. If you can figure this one out, you'll be the first to do so!


Hope to see you there and remember Candlewoods battle cry, "For God, King and Candlewood!"

Round Rock book signing

Hello, all

We'll be in Round Rock, Texas at the Barnes and Noble store with our good friend, Frank.
He manages the most welcoming and gracious Barnes and Nobel we've ever signed with
The store is right off the interstate at 2200 IH 35.
The phone number is (512) 244-2223.
Meanwhile, I am punching up book three, Candlewood: The Legend of the Dragon Sword and working on book four, The Crown of Candlewood.
Keep watching for both!
Hope to see you there and remember,
"For God, King and Candlewood!"
Ellen
