It’s been a fun whirlwind month celebrating the launch of Joshua and the Arrow Realm! Thank you everyone for sharing in it with me 🙂 .
We had a super fun book launch party on September 17th at my favorite bookstore, the Doylestown Bookshop. There was a presentation, reading, book trailer showing and scavenger hunt – plus storm cloud cookies and lightning bolt chocolate pops! If you’re close to Albany, New York, I will be having another book party on Friday, September 30, at 7pm at the Book House in Stuyvesant Plaza.
Me and the real Joshua at the book party at the Doylestown Bookshop!
Julie won the Lost Realm poster
in the scavenger hunt!
You can also follow the Joshua and the Arrow Realm book blog tour here for interviews and excerpts. This week hop on over to the Secret Files of Fairday Morrow’s blog where Joshua is interviewed for Character Book Club by his pal, Sam, from Sign of the Green Dragon!
And more reviews have come in for Joshua and the Arrow Realm!
“Galanti has created another fast-paced, intricate tale that weaves together newly created myths with ancient levitra ones and populates the world of Nostos with Greek gods and characters and monsters to thrill and chill the reader. This is wonderful adventure-fantasy from start to finish.” – C. Lee McKenzie
“This is a great book for kids in 4th grade and up who love mythology and stories with lots of action. I read this in one day, so it’s full of page turning adventures- but there are sad parts too.” – Lizzie’s Blog
This month I also had fun researching medieval life for my current manuscript at the Philadelphia Museum of Art!!
I could have spent days here. My favorite gallery being on armor and weaponry! My son and his friend were more interested in face swapping with Renaissance portraits 🙂 .
I also spent a wonderful writer’s retreat this month at my friend Kathryn Craft’s lakeside home in northern New York.
It was a wonderful few days shared with talented writers.
We wrote together, read our work, laughed, and cried.
We can write alone but we can’t grow as writers alone – we need each other. I’m so lucky to have an amazing writer network of special people around me.
Happy fall everyone!
And it was fun tagging along with you, Donna! This is our second time working together like this and I appreciate having the opportunity.
Oh Lee, so super fun! I hope we keep it going 🙂 Here’s to more adventures!
The book launch looks like fun! I wish I lived closer. Overall you have been getting to do some amazing things. So happy for you that the retreat was awesome and that things are going so well. Yay! 🙂
Thanks Stephanie! I wish we were closer too so I could share in Fairday’s book adventures in person 🙂
