At Home Dress Rehearsal

Newsletter – May 24, 2024

There’s no performance without a dress rehearsal. That’s something I learned from fifty years of theatre. 

The image above is one end of my book signing table set up at home in preparation for June 1st and 8th.* The poster board and pile of books are to pique the interest of passersby so they approach my table. The bookmarks are a free giveaway, and the cloud and the butterflies are elements of the novel. 

See the peach colored book behind the bookmarks? It’s a hollow book in which I’ll invite children—and the young at heart—to contribute ideas about what they would have in an amazing museum: 

“What amazing idea do you have for a museum? Write it down and put it in the Most Amazing book. I just might include it in my newsletter.”

You can play along, too, if you want to send me your amazing ideas. Just hit reply.   

I’ll show you the other end of the table next week. More clouds and butterflies, of course, and other things from the book. 

Want to help? 

You can follow me (Facebook, Instagram, Substack, and X) and share my posts about the book. 

You can forward this newsletter to someone who would enjoy subscribing. They can click on this link: https://margerumwritesfiction.ck.page/f0b8e21e7f 

You can preorder the physical book on a few different sites including The Book Baby Bookshop, Amazon, and Barnes & Noble. The ebook is available at all of those and at Apple Books, and Kobo.

TTFN!
