Hello My Happy People,
Today is the perfect day to talk about getting older as it is my mother's (D.S. Stephens') birthday! If you would like to join the celebration, just go to our Burckhardt Book Facebook page (<--- click here) and leave her a birthday message.
Unfortunately, we were not able to make it back to the US to be with her today, but my sister and some of her family were able to make the trip to Kansas to help Mom celebrate. We hope to make up for lost time when we go visit at the holidays.
A quick update on our current Burckhardt Books projects:
Edits are slowly progressing on Into the West; Family Ties but still progressing.
Outlines are being developed for The Touch and Free Bad Haircuts with Each Craniotomy
The new podcast companion magazine Book Banter Magazine is coming along nicely and the layouts are starting to come together.
We are setting up the plan for a holiday book buying guide magazine special issue featuring books from all the guest authors from season one and two of Book Banter with Dianne Burckhardt.
More great guests are scheduled for August: two comic book authors and an incredible author who almost defies categorization.
I know I am forgetting something, but as I cannot remember what I forgot, let's just go with these.
And now ... on with the jokes and let's kick off this weekend with some laughs!
(Happy Birthday, MOM!!!)
Enjoy,
Dianne

A: When you have a party and the neighbors don't even notice.
Q: How do you know you are really old?
