Connie Brooks just called me to say that she has run out of the red totebags given away with copies of “Saving Simon” purchased at Battenkill Books, so we are heading over to the bookstore with a box of signed notecards that show Simon, Jake and Debbie, two lambs born earlier this year, and some other scenes and animals at Bedlam Farm. My signing table is full.

More than 75 are photos of Simon, the others are of the dogs, donkeys and lambs. This offer will last only as long as supplies last, and if you are interested,  I wouldn’t wait too long to call Battenkill at 518 677-2515 or order “Saving Simon: How A Rescue Donkey Taught Me The Meaning Of Compassion” and/or the new My Reader edition of “Lenore Finds A Friend” (aged 6-8) online.  We are offering more than 200 notecards today, if the orders pour in, we will add some more.

Everyone who orders a book from Battenkill will also get it signed and personalized and will receive a signed photo notecard of Simon in his red hat. The early reviews have been wonderful.

I think I’m probably giving away more money than I am earning, but it’s exciting for sure, the book seems to be really catching on for Christmas, and I am enjoying running my own book tour, another finger in the eye of the Corporate Nation. Thanks for your support, I believe “Saving Simon” is the perfect Christmas or holiday book. Maybe a good book to read even if it isn’t a  Christmas gift. I’m getting excited, the book, like Simon, really wants to live.
