TIMBER and the TALL SHIPS in Duluth

 A picture's worth a thousand words, right?  Well this mermaid in a tree was discovered at an artist's farm on our road trip to Duluth.  My niece Grace and granddaughter Kira came along to their grandma Sandy's book signing in Duluth at Ftigers.  





 Kira and Grace at the Tall Ships Event in Duluth in July 2013.  We decided to combine our signing with some fun during this event.  Wow, they are so cool! 

The day before the event Kira and Grace helped hand out bookmarks to promote the book signing at Fitgers.  For those of you who have read TIMBER, the prolog opens with Thor sailing from Sweden to the United States in a ship very much like the ones displayed during the Tall Ships event.

Lumber "Jill"  Kira!

Kira had fun dressing up in a "lumber Jill" costume and chatting with anyone who would listen.  What a great little speaker she is!  "Hi my name is Kira and my grandma Sandy wrote a book called TIMBER and it's really good but I can't read it because I'm only 10."

Kira's Announcement "My Grandma Sandy wrote a book called TIMBER....."

We had a great time at Fitgers, I love their bookstore.  The staff is so accomodating, stop and visit some time.  Book signings are a delightful way to engage with our readers.
