Celebrate the Small Things is a weekly celebration created by VikLit and now hosted by Lexa Cain to celebrate the happenings of the week, however small or large. You can learn all about it and sign up for it here. 
I can’t believe October is half over already. Where did it go? Things to celebrate this week:
- The interview I did on the local cable TV channel (LCATV) is on the air now. I noticed I talk with my hands quite a bit, not that that’s bad or anything. Here’s the link for anyone who’d like to see it: http://lcatv.org/node/196156. It’s Vermont Treasures #31.
- I got all my materials sent to the Independent Publishers of New England, so that my book can be represented and sold at their tables at the Boston Book Festival and the New England Library Association Conference. I won’t be at the events in person, so it will be interesting to see how this works in terms of sales.
- We made our traditional fun trek through the corn maze, then went on the hayride down through the “gauntlet of horrors” to the pumpkin patch and my kids picked out pumpkins.
- I got some more yard work done. Yay!
What other celebrations are going on out there?

I watched some of your interview! You do talk with your hands, and they complement your facial expressions so it all helps convey meaning – nothing bad about that at all! Lovely to see you leap off the page. Isn’t technology wonderful.

Your interview was fun! The interviewer asked a lot of good questions, and it’s great that you got to read an excerpt. Don’t worry about talking with your hands – lots of people do that. (I talk with my hands too. And do weird voices. And silly faces. Yeah, better that I’m not on TV…) The pumpkin-buying adventure with your family sounds so cool!

Grats on the interview and the spot in the book sale! I hope you get a lot of sales and attention. We have a few local corn mazes, but I haven’t taken my kids out yet. Maybe if they’re up for it on the 31st… 🙂
