SCBWI Conference this weekend

Well in 24 hours I will be in NYC attending the SCBWI Winter Conference! It came so fast. I am so excited.  And so not ready yet!  I mean, mentally I am, but I have packing and printing and rehearsing to do (a pitch for my book in 30 seconds.  Gotta think of just the right words!) Be prepared for a very long (perhaps multiple) posts of my adventure come next week!

My Book reading is mentioned in Cecil Soil Magazine

Plus 2 photos!

Urges journalist Maggie Creshkoff,
"Wintertime is the perfect time to curl up with a book; and its even better if someone else is doing the storytelling.  Go to the Oxford Library at 48 South Second Street in Oxford, PA at 1 p.m. on Monday, February 15 and hear Stevie French read from her new book, Lizzie Fox-Top.  Stevie is the author and illustrator of the heart-warming story of a girl whose haberdashery is very, very foxy! She will read the tale of her grandmother's uncanny gift with all sorts of animals, great and small.  Call 610-932-9625 for more information, and make sure that you get your copy autographed!"

Sweet.

Also, an edit to my last post: Sachin reminded me that both our friend and the lady who owns the saddlery assured us that the foxes come to no harm during hunting (in the US anyway).

LFT Now Available at New Location in Warrenton, Va!

8 copies of LFT are now available (signed!) at Horse Country Sadlery in Warrenton, Virginia!  This was a surprise to me, as my boyfriend and I just popped in to town for a night of fun visiting my his friends from high school.  One of his friends, an equestrian and fox-huntress, mentioned this store to me because they sell adorable fox-shaped hats (perfect for a reading, I thought!) so I went to check it out.  It turned out they were sold out of the hats, but were very interested in a fox-themed children's book! 

I do recognize the irony of the fact that my sweet book about an anthropomorphic pet fox is being sold in a store that celebrates fox-hunting, but hey, it's an untapped demographic, and it's already a given that that participants of such a hobby will appreciate the subject matter!

LFT Enjoyed Halfway Round the World!

This little LFT fan in Germany has the right idea--"Mara Duck-Top"!

Thanks to Armin B. for the pic!

Do you have a picture of someone enjoying Lizzie Fox-Top?  Send it in and I'll post it on my blog and Lizzie's
