2nd Annual Book Signing at Ma Maison

Friday, NOVEMBER 27th

10 AM – 1 PM

Near Starbucks at the corner of McBean Parkway and Valencia Boulevard.

Day after Thanksgiving on Black Friday (but there is nothing Black about Ma Maison!, possibly one of the cheeriest and brightest gift shops in the entire Santa Clarita Valley).

Ede and the ladies make this a very special event indeed.  They also bring in a selection of holiday cookies and healthy drinks for the kids.  See you there!

A Second 2009 Book Signing at Greenthumb Intl. – Newhall

Friday, NOVEMBER 27th

2 – 5 PM

After signing at Ma Maison, I’ll be jumping in a sleigh to quickly fly across town to Newhall, back to a magical nursery that really transforms into Santa’s SoCal workshop away from the North Pole!  Thanks to Bryan and Kirki for having me back a second time this year.  With more cookies and cider than you could possibly partake in, come and enjoy a wonderful sampling of the Christmas Season.  Signing here is really fun, so come and join us all!

2nd Annual Book Signing and a Special Appearance by none other than

The Great *Mrs. Claus herself!

THE TEA GARDENS

Friday, DECEMBER 20th

3 PM until Closing

Bring your camera and family for this fun event.

We had such a marvelous time last year, I just had to return.  Elda and her family run a first-rate tea house, and they have a fantastic menu that makes The Tea Gardens much more than a place for a spot of tea and a scone.

*NOTE:  This is the real Mrs. Claus that inspired the book!  You won’t want to miss her.

The Great Mrs. Claus Book Signing at

Valencia – Borders Book Store

Saturday, DECEMBER 19th

Time:  11 AM

We are planning that I’ll read an excerpt from my book and do a signing afterwards.

The poem in the book will be fun to share with the kids.  I’ve blown up the illustrations that relate to the poem on big boards.  It’ll be my first public sharing of that.  Hope to see you soon.
