Yipee! Looks like the release date for my new book, The Locket: Surviving the Triangle Shirtwaist Fire, has been moved up to April 1, 2008.
I’ll be using the book as the basis for a new presentation I will make at schools called Bringing the Past to Life: Tips for Writing Historical Fiction.
If you’d like to book me for an author visit at your school, send an email to suzanne@workingwriterscoach.com and I’ll let you know the dates and times I have available this spring.
If I make a presentation at your school, I’ll even donate a copy of my new book to your school library.
Our new directory of children’s authors and illustrators who make school visits is now available at the National Writing for Children Center.

This school year, when I make school visits, I’ll be talking about my newest book for children called States:The People, Landmarks, and Highlights of the 50 States. This book includes a 6-foot-long wall chart with interesting facts about each of the 50 states and Washington, D.C.
I’ll also donate a copy of the book for the school library whenever I make a school visit.
