You Can Go In A Story! Summer Reading Song Video!
What better way to celebrate summer reading than with song and dance! It's here, the new summer reading song video from writer friend, Debbie Dadey, (author of The Mermaid Tales and The Adventures of the Bailey School Kids, and others) and me. So, we supply the song, and you supply the dance. Don’t worry, no one will see you. Is your web cam turned off?
Be sure to check out Debbie Dadey's website for some great summer reads and other fun stuff! http://www.debbiedadey.com
Click here and enjoy! Feel free to pass the link
on to your friends.
Happy Summer!
Oh, it’s still spring. That’s okay, but summer is
on its way. The time of year children are out of school. Time to swim, time to
fish, time to hang out, time to be bored! One of the best parts of summer is
the Summer Reading Program. Schools have lists available. Local libraries have
programs. Some bookstores even have special deals for summer readers. For A List of Summer Reading Programs for Kids
That Give Free Books, Money and More, check out this site: https://www.thebalance.com/get-free-kids-stuff-from-summer-reading-programs-for-kids-1356875.
Hey, writers get paid to do what they
love, what’s wrong with children getting paid or getting free stuff for doing
what they love doing.
By the way, If anyone asks you how to get to Carnegie Hall, just tell them, "You Can Go In A Story!" See Cassandra Live at Carnegie Hall!

“Dead fingers don’t tap.”

Armed with the stolen finger bones of a dead blues guitar player and a mishmash of voodoo spells from the Internet, he and his best friend enter a graveyard at midnight to perform their ritual. Now, all that stands in his way of winning a local guitar competition is the power of RETURN – a side effect of the voodoo that spells disaster for Rodney.
Thirteen-year-old
Rodney Becker has found the perfect cure for stage fright. Voodoo!
Armed with the stolen finger bones of a dead blues guitar player and a mishmash of voodoo spells from the Internet, he and his best friend enter a graveyard at midnight to perform their ritual. Now, all that stands in his way of winning a local guitar competition is the power of RETURN – a side effect of the voodoo that spells disaster for Rodney.
His cure has become a curse. How else can he
explain jamming his finger so bad he can't hold a guitar pick, his part-time
dad stealing his guitar, and his mom getting into an accident that could have
taken her life?
How much is Rodney willing to risk to achieve
his dream of being a guitar legend?
Pre-Order Sale Price of just $2.99 – regular price starting March 7th
