Book Festival Fun

Do you enjoy going to outdoor festivals? I love them! Outdoor festivals are an opportunity for those who are enthusiasts about something to gather with those of like minds and hearts, as well as with those who are curious. For me, they rank right up there with parades, evening walks, and trips to the zoo.

This weekend was the first Lit in the Lou Festival in University City, Missouri. Authors, librarians, editors, booksellers, and readers gathered on Saturday for a day of book fun.





I enjoyed interacting with each group! I remember thinking, "I love it here. I don't want to leave." And so I did not, not until the last tents were breaking down and the bookstore owners were packing their boxes. It was a day of fun, of celebration, and of encouragement to keep doing what I love so much - writing.

A Thank-full Heart

Today I am blogging on the Christian Children's Authors blog. I hope you  will join me there.

It is fall in the Midwest. This week, I stopped at a roadside shop of sorts, a pickup truck filled with pumpkins large and small. When I was driving home with the small ones chosen to decorate my porch, I couldn’t help but think how blessed I am with family, friends, and God’s provisions. Read more

• I know so many tweens that will love it, too–we just need to get it in their hands. They are learning about the Lord in a non-threatening and casual way, which is awesome and what this age group needs. - See more at: http://margodill.com/blog/2014/09/25/cool-and-hip-devotionals-for-kids-by-carol-mcadams-moore/#sthash.utX3wvxY.GRa3Md2u.dpuf

• II wanted to let you know how much my students enjoyed your bookmarks and devotion pages. We have been studying "ways to become wise" in Bible class and were discussing reading our Bibles a few days before the items arrived. They made a great added bonus to my lesson plans. Thank you so much!!!!
