Book Review: Eight Year-Old Author's Debut Work Artful

I met a striking young author this past weekend from the Portland area and I had to buy his debut book. Damien Macalino is just eight years old. His masterpiece, What if an Alligator Ate an Avalanche, is a children's picture book featuring an alphabet of awesome alliterations (and you know I love those). I enjoyed the fun and fancy frolic.

The book is available on Amazon at the link above. If you have a preschool child or grandchild (or just love cute and witty picture books yourself) please purchase a copy and encourage this young writer.

Here's the young man reading the book at his launch party:

Beautiful Beach and Bountiful Books

It looks like Friday will be a beautiful day at the beach. Weather for Florence, Oregon calls for mostly sunny skies and 65 degrees. Saturday is expected to be 68 degrees and overcast with a 30% chance of showers making it the perfect day to go to a book fair. Sunday and Monday's forecast calls for partly sunny skies, less rain (10% chance) and highs of 68. Now that sounds like a nice weekend to head to the coast. AND...

The Florence Festival of Books, which I will be at with nearly 70 other author's and publishers, takes place on Saturday (10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Sept. 28). A perfect time and place to shop for all the readers on your Christmas list (hint, hint: I have a trilogy of Bayou Boys Adventures for $23).
