Busy Bee
Hello, friends! I had a fabulous time at the recent Local Author Event this past Saturday! It was a fantastic opportunity to network and meet some really great fellow authors. I was inspired for some great new ideas and a new direction to head in for the Albert books. No worries though! Albert will still be his friendly helpful self but with new friends to meet and go on adventures with! I am very excited and really hope that my idea can come to life. If it does, I will post more about that (soon, hopefully!).
Check out the event calendar because I have booked two more events for the year which is great! It has been great connecting with local preschools and daycares and libraries to do story time and introduce kiddos to Albert and his world. I am working on some great freebies for the kids for the events, and I hope everyone likes them. It fills me with such joy to plan these events and imagine the wonder and excitement the kids will experience with the tales and freebies!
If you would like to schedule an appearance for me to introduce Albert to little ones, please reach out to me at lauraballauthor@gmail.com, and we can discuss a date that works for each of us. I would like to remind you all that I do work a full-time regular job so as much advanced notice as possible for events is best so I can request any week day time off. But I would love to discuss that and more with you, so please don’t hesitate to drop me a line and connect!
In other news, I just received the first of the sketches for book three in the Albert series! They look great, if I do say so myself! I am exciting to share this tale with you all in early Summer 2024!
If you have not yet, please visit my Kickstarter campaign and pledge for your very own Albert the Donkey plushie! I would love to be able to reach my goal and bring Albert to life for all as a plush. But I do need your help and your support means the world to me! You can find the campaign at: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/lauraballbooks/funding-for-plush-toy-production-based-on-childrens-book?ref=nav_search&result=project&term=laura%20ball.
Thank you for sharing this journey with me!
Best,
