Orca has created lovely artwork for the launch poster, but for some reason I can’t upload it to this site. Instead, I’ll issue my own invitation:

If you can, please join me for the launch of Cursed!

Saturday, October 16, at 1:00

Monkeyshines Bookstore

113, 2215-33rd Ave. S.W.

Calgary

Crow Boy Readings

There’s a new set of readings on my website, maureenbush.com. My husband helped again, the lovely man, recording me reading short clips from Crow Boy.

We’re getting a little better at doing the recordings, as I learn where to stand (to avoid the squeaks in the floor) and how to pitch my voice and… all those things actors learn, I suppose. And as my husband becomes more experienced using Logic Pro, and filtering out all the bits we don’t want (airplanes, in breaths).

Watching a Lethbridge school podcast about their One School, One Book program helped me realize these readings might be fun in classrooms, especially for aural learners.

Crow Boy Page on maureenbush.com

There’s a new page on my website, for Crow Boy. It comes out on April 9, with a launch at Monkeyshines Children’s Bookstore, in Calgary, at 1:00 on April 24.

We’ve also created audio links for The Nexus Ring and Feather Brain, short clips of me reading from the stories, and with my husband playing intros on his trombone. Check it out.  maureenbush.com

Golden Eagle Nomination

Feather Brain has been nominated for the Golden Eagle Reader’s Choice Award. It’s for Alberta authors only, voted on by kids in southern Alberta.

I’m delighted at the number of nominations etc. that Feather Brain has received – more than I ever hoped for. The full list is on the Feather Brain page of my website, maureenbush.com.

websites

maureenbush.com is up and functioning. It’s not quite finished, but close enough for now. Coming soon: a map for The Nexus Ring, with photos of some of the beautiful locations in the story.

howweirdcanyouget.com isn’t quite ready – any day now, I hope.
