Just in Time for Patriot's Day

Things have been busy at the Fitch Tavern lately. Book Two finally achieved some pen to paper (instead of rattling around in my head). And I'm happy to report the book was picked up for a couple of reviews by national sites, which should increase the visibility to librarians and teachers. Be sure to pick up a copy of Bay State Parents, where the book got a nice mention in the April issue.

Most exciting, however, is the launch of the new website. No longer just a blog, the new Fitch Tavern Tales website includes activities for kids, guides for teachers and lots of room for expansion. Oh, I'll miss the old blog site with its colonial look and feel, but now that I'm a published author (ahem.) I needed an author's website. Kudos to Sue Mildrum at Linio Group for all of her hard work and creativity in getting this new one up and running!

When you have a few minutes, spend some time on the Kids page and let me know what you think of the activities there. I had a lot of fun finding them, but it would also be fun to see if any of the activities actually work the way they are supposed to...and if you or your young readers have a comment OR question, be sure to post it on the site. I've had a lot of great questions offline so far and would love to capture the answers for all to see.

On a final note, due to some technical difficulties, we couldn't automatically transfer my blog subscribers from WordPress to the new site, so be sure to sign up again through the Email link on the Home page. You'll get an email from Feedburner to confirm you are who you say you are (be sure to confirm) and then you'll be all set to continue receiving future blog posts as they occur.

Thanks once again for following my journey!
