Wright on Time Books

Here is a recent article that Tanja Bauerle, the illustrator of the Wright on Time series was in:

From now through May 31, 2011, you can order an autographed bundle of all four Wright on Time books for only $40 with free shipping! Orders will ship within 24 hours, except during May 10-22.

BONUS: All orders placed by midnight (Arizona time) on Wednesday, May 4th, will receive a free review copy of Cody Greene and the Rainbow Mystery, a $12.99 value.

From July 14th through December 8th, the Tempe Library (in a Phoenix, Arizona suburb) will have four of the Wright on Time: Arizona illustrations on display. Last Saturday, I had the opportunity to meet up with Tanja Bauerle, the illustrator of the Wright on Time books, and see these pieces in person. We also looked the books up in the library catalog while we were there–fun!

Want to see the Wright on Time series at your local library? Contact your library and request them to order copies! The distribution networks are all set up now to make this happen–just request them!

Here are some photographs taken at the Tempe Library:

The incredible Tanja Bauerle has several of her amazing illustrations from Wright on Time: Arizona, Book 1 showcased at the Tempe public library in Tempe, Arizona. The other featured artists look great, too. I hope to see all of their works in person, as it’s always a completely different experience than seeing art in a book (although that’s fairly awesome, too!). The artwork will be up from now through November 29, 2010. To see more about Tanja, check out her website.

Come beat the summer sun and spend afternoons delving into the magical world of fiction writing!
