I will begin a small stint at the Bridgewater Library tomorrow. Every SECOND Wednesday of the month from September to December I will be presenting my tall tales to the toddlers! Shows begin at 10:30 so be there early!

It was nice to have a lighter schedule last week in the craziness of summer! This week I return to form with a full week of shows, with many shows being at schools I have not visited before. I get really excited about seeing familiar faces at my shows but being able to share my tales with an audience who hasn’t had a chance to hear them still feels really special!

Also, if you’re looking to schedule a fall show please call me at 508-641-5336.

Last week, every Mystery Room was busting at the seams! We had a full group in Carver where the winning team just happened to a member whose birthday it was! So, an added bonus for the newly 8 year old! Also, in Attleboro, we had a self described Mystery Room fanatic shower praise on the game of The Unfortunate Passing of Pliant McTwist: A Murder Mystery.

This week, I have a full week of Big Ryan shows as well as an Alien Escape Mystery Room in Kingston! While Kingston’s game is full, there will be plenty of chances to join us coming up in the fall!

Another beautiful summer week is about to begin and I am ready to see some old friends! This week is the first trip to the Cape this summer with Monday’s visit to Harwich and the Brooks Free Library. I get to visit this library every summer and I am so happy to be there so early this year! I am going for a re-visit to the Plymouth Yacht club during July 4th, which is amazing – but I end the week at one of my favorite places; Book Love!
