Quote of the Day

Watch your thoughts; they become words. Watch your words; they become actions. Watch your actions; they become habits. Watch your habits; they become character. Watch your character; it becomes your destiny. --Author Unknown

Great Day At The Collingswood, NJ Book Festival

Sunday's Collingswood, NJ Book Festival was a huge success. Lots of people dropped by Idlebury Books' booth to meet me (Stef) and many bought an autographed copy of Be Careful What You Wish For. . . The Story of: Gwendolyn the Great, Savior of Idlebury, Protector of the Universe. Thanks to all who bought a copy for either themselves or others. I hope you enjoy the story.

A special thanks goes out to Lilly, Elizabeth, Maurna, Kenice, Julia, and Gwendolyn whose enthusiasm about my book made my day. I hope each of them thoroughly enjoy the adventures of Gwendolyn Fanny on her journey through the thirteen dimensions as she explores who she believes she is and discovers who she really is -- thanks to a little help from her friends and foes, namely Mistofisee, Kendall, Aislinn, Queen Matilda of Beastonia, the Soul Seeker, Wilameena, Lightening, Crabbina, Mr. Knuthyder, and many others.

A huge thanks to everyone associated with the Collingswood, NJ Book Festival whose obvious hard work made for a great day. Even the weather cooperated with the exception of one rain shower that may have been a blessing in disguise as I now know that my canopy is NOT waterproof.

I'm looking forward to next year's Collingswood, NJ Book Festival where I'll be signing copies of the series' second book titled, A Force To Be Reckoned With . . . The Story of Thane: Prince of Magic, Mayhem, and Marvelous Things.

I hope to see my readers there again next year.

In the meantime. . .

Happy Reading!

Stef
