Ariele’s Newsletter: Happy Holidays!

Hanukkah is over and Christmas is here!

There are a lot of holidays surrounding the winter solstice, and while many people have been celebrating, I have been making the craft fair rounds! I have had an event every single weekend since November, and a few events in between! So I’d like to begin by saying “Welcome!” to all of my new newsletter subscribers. If you can’t remember where you met me, it was probably in Portland, at the SPCA, or some craft fair somewhere in between. I hope you’re enjoying your books!

I’ve had a great few weeks, and have really enjoyed meeting so many new people, as well as thoroughly introducing Rutherford the Unicorn Sheep to the world! I even sold out of Rutherford the Unicorn Sheep Saves Christmas twice, The Clock Winked twice,Rutherford the Unicorn Sheep Goes to the Beach, and The Lonely Whelk!

Some Exciting Stuff

Moving into 2016, I’ve got some exciting stuff planned! First of all, there are several new Rutherford books in the works. Rutherford the Unicorn Sheep Makes Pancakes will likely be next, and then at some point along the way, Rutherford the Unicorn Sheep Learns Spanish! I will also be dropping the e-book version of The Wounded World to $0.00 so that everyone can read it! Add that to updated covers for the Sagittan Chronicles with the next one in the series (The Trouble With Tangerines) scheduled for release this year, you can see I will be busy!

Events

I’m also in the process of scheduling my events for the coming year. I’m excited to be doing a short book tour in Upstate NY in January. I’ll be visiting a couple of schools and the Rochester Beekeeping Club, and if you’d like me to come to your library or school, please contact me as soon as possible. I’ll be at several Comic Cons this year as well, and am looking at expanding outwards through Massachusetts and down towards Philadelphia.

Books

It’s a bit late to order books for Christmas, but if you’d still like to get a copy of something, everything (except Rutherford the Unicorn Sheep Goes to the Beach andThe Lonely Whelk) is for sale on my website and on Amazon. After all, Christmas might be coming to a close, but there are still plenty of birthdays coming up!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
