Margot hits the road

Next weekend, I’m going on my first book signing road trip. I’m traveling to Kennewick, Washington and then on to Seattle.
Saturday, November 17, 1-3pm, at Far West Books, 8508 W. Gage Blvd. ,# A-101, Kennewick, (509) 735-1402.
Same day, 7-9pm, Seattle Deseret Book (right by the temple)
Sunday, November 18, my husband and I are doing a fireside in Bellevue. He’s in the Tabernacle Choir and will talk about some of his experiences. I’ll chime in, without promoting my book because, ew.
Should be fun! I can’t wait to see old friends (I grew up in the Kennewick area) and meet new ones. There’s a nice feeling of Full Circle, since the road between Utah and Washington plays a huge role in my book.
My dear friend Christy Monson has done it again with a wonderful new installment in her Texting Through Time series.
Micah and Alicia are back with their amazing time-traveling smartphone. In the first book, they visited Brigham Young. Next up is John Taylor. The kids time-travel back to various points in his life and get to know him, while at the same time solve a fun, intriguing puzzle.
Christy has a knack for getting historical details correct while keeping the story fresh and fun for kids. The book is packed with fascinating details about John Taylor’s life that I never knew before. I don’t know of a more engaging way for young people to learn about the prophets, and can only hope that the series will continue.
And I just have to say with a proud nod of the head: the illustrations are great! My daughter, Rosalie Ledezma, drew them.
Have you heard of a book blast? If many people plan their purchase of a book for the same day, it helps that book’s Amazon ranking tremendously. The John Taylor Texting Through Time book is set for a book blast on November 13, and Christy is sweetening the pot by holding a drawing for a free Amazon gift card. To participate, buy the book on Amazon on November 13, and then leave a comment on her blog here. You will be automatically entered in the drawing.
This book is a wonderful Christmas gift idea for the young people on your list.

ze book launch
Thank you so much to all my fantastic family and friends for making my first book launch so fun!
The support meant so much to me and I gotta say, today just made it onto my list called
“Best Days Ever.”
The fact that the bookstore manager told me I sold way more books than she’d ever seen in her eight years of employment was extra awesome.
**big cheesy grin**
tomorrow! tomorrow!
Tomorrow is my book launch!
Seagull Book in Centerville (316 N Market Place Dr, by Target)
