Irvington, NY

 

Sweet Inspiration

This month I have been visiting lots of schools and book fairs. The number one question people ask me is, "Where do you get your ideas from?" The truth is, I get new ideas everyday and file them away! The trick is to remember....sometimes I take mental pictures and sometimes I snap a photo with my phone :) This is a picture of a famous Frozen Hot Chocolate from the fabulous Serendipity's in New York City. I took my girls here for a special after school treat...YUM! Sure as sugar, you can bet that there will be frozen hot chocolate appearing in Candy Fairies books sometime. The idea is filed away! Sweeeeet!

A Super Sweet Season...

School has begun, after school classes are in full swing, and Halloween candy is beginning to pop up in the stories....it's Fall!
I am so excited about this season. There will be two new Candy Fairies books! The first Super Special -- Gooey Goblins for Halloween and Sugar Ball debuts in October 2011.

And even sweeter is being invited to the Sunnyside Author Day in Irvington, NY on Sunday, September 25th. I hope to meet you there....I'll be signing from 2- 4:30. For details...http://tinyurl.com/sunnybkday

Enjoy all the treats of the season!

Sweet Reads for Summer Contest

Hello Summer! The days are long and warm and school is out! To celebrate this delicious season, I am having a super sweet summer contest. Join the "sweet reads for summer!"

Here’s how it will work: Invite friends to join the fan page by posting on the page or tweeting (include @candyfairies -- if you don't follow already, please do!) Each time you tweet or comment about Candy Fairies on the Facebook page, you will gain an entry. I will pull the winner out of those entries.

The prize? The new signed Candy Fairies book -- GOOEY GOBLINS! It’s a Halloween Super Special….a little early to think about Halloween at the start of summer, but you’ll be the first to read it!

Contest ends July 20th.

Enjoy a sweet Summer read!
