Keturah’s Village

My creation  I could not at this point link directly to Flickr so here it is- such as it is.

You Oughta Be In Pictures

Okay- I understand the visual appeal in promoting our books, but this is just not anywhere in my comfort zone. I have never joined so many on-line sites or had so many usernames and passwords in my life. Unfortunately, the book I chose to work on, Keturah and Lord Death, does not lend itself well to finding appropriate pictures. Flickr is a compilation of users’ photos and I didn’t think I could hope for photos of Death, the plague, early village life and the Grim Reaper. So with some help from Donna and Carlene, I accessed some other copyright-free sites to obtain what I could. I then registered with BigHugeLabs to design a poster. Since I didn’t edit, I’m not overly pleased with the results, but I don’t think I can spend more time on this one. I also made a postcard that is currently housed on Flickr and I have not yet been able to find it. So hats off to those of you with strong creative and technological ability, because it sure ain’t me!

By the way, the line under the title says- “A chance meeting in the forest-a battle of wills and wits.”

I like words!!

Ok- I redid the poster and realized I could import it in a bigger size so hopefully this will look a little better!

I went back to the small size as it was messing up my page- wish there was an intermediate size to upload.

    I Love Kids’ Books
    I have the privilege of being a teacher-librarian in 2 elementary schools. That means I have the best of all worlds; I teach and work with children from Kindergarten through grade 8; my job encompasses the management of the libraries as well as developing the collections. And my homework? Reading and more reading! What more could a life-long bookworm ask for? The point of this blog is mainly for my own use- to make myself some notes about some of the many books I read- to prompt my failing memory, to use as the basis for book-talks or newsletter inserts and to provide information for others that may be interested. These will not be formal or lengthy- but just some of my thoughts.
