Such a nice jester, and I'm afraid she thinks I will ask for repete offerings. <BR/><BR/>I hope to see them when they pass through this area for the new book's tour. Maybe, I'll even get pictures! :)maggie moranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02462439415973311990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20112247.post-55331003098890096552008-05-19T20:54:00.000-05:002008-05-19T20:54:00.000-05:00I love Clyde Edgerton, too, so I'll definitely add...I love Clyde Edgerton, too, so I'll definitely add this latest read to my list.<BR/><BR/>Martin Clark's wife has a great blog.

How kewl is it that he got to be a duckmaster! I bet you were a very proud mom.<BR/><BR/><I>Downtown Ducks</I> tells the story of two ducks who fall in love but are without shelter. They travel from points north into Memphis and end up on the Peabody roof. It's a chapter book in an easy format, if that makes sense?!?<BR/><BR/>I hope Steven and friend enjoy the books. <BR/><BR/>Happy Listening, too you!maggie moranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02462439415973311990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20112247.post-33591032130222947782008-05-15T11:57:00.000-05:002008-05-15T11:57:00.000-05:00I came here from Houston's site.I regret to say th...I came here from Houston's site.<BR/><BR/>I regret to say that the chaotic lifestyle I lead has led me to short stories or audiobooks.<BR/><BR/>Audiobooks I can listen to while I clean my house and do laundry and drive around doing errands.<BR/><BR/>The only time I have to sit down with a real book in my hands is at bedtime and I am usually asleep within 15 minutes.<BR/><BR/>The Downtown Ducks attracted me because I lived in Memphis for the better part of 9 months while my 9-year old son underwent radiation and four stem cell transplants at St. Jude for a malignant brain tumor.<BR/><BR/>Peabody Place and the ducks were a frequent distraction when my son was feeling well enough and he was invited to be duckmaster, he got to walk them to the fountain and again got to walk them back to the roof. We knew the ducks that were there in 2003/2004 by name.<BR/><BR/>I'm going to order a copy for us and another copy for another little boy we know who is at St. Jude in the middle of treatment for the same sort of brain tumor. I think there are a lot of sick kids in Memphis who would love that story since they already know the ducks.<BR/><BR/>Happy reading!Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14682272042615851184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20112247.post-12662738969261994692008-05-15T09:57:00.000-05:002008-05-15T09:57:00.000-05:00He will be in Oxford tonight, Tiffany!

I just found out last night that he is going to be the featured author for a month-long celebration through our public library. There will be author readings and signings, receptions, and a showing of the play Walking Across Egypt at the Old Courthouse Theater in Concord, NC.
