Busy Month Ahead
February 2nd, 2008 by Kati
Last week we heard from Chantel who was having trouble viewing our Events page. This is the page on our Fix, Freeze, Feast website where we post scheduled appearances, signings, and classes. Though we haven’t had this report from others, we wanted to let you know about the steady stream of events in the coming weeks.
First though, we are encouraged by the reviews of Fix, Freeze, Feast from The Spokane Review, Eugene Register-Guard, Charlotte Observer, and most recently, The Washington Post’s ReadExpress. My hometown paper, The Oregonian, also did a piece about the book in our neighborhood circular. It ended up going out to half of my Metro area! If you think your community would benefit from our book, feel free to contact your local newspaper and suggest they review it. Typically, newspapers have sections called “Lifestyles.” Or, if it’s a large paper, a section devoted to food. It never hurts to give those folks a call with your story ideas.
Now, on to TV, radio, and podcast events:
On February 6, Lindsay will be talking with Shelley Duffy, Lifestyles editor for KDKA radio in Pittsburgh. Shelley makes meals ahead and has 2 daughters. Since Lindsay is a make-ahead cook with 3 daughters herself, I think these ladies have a lot in common! If you’re in Pittsburgh, tune in.
Mid-month we’ll be taping a segment with Better.TV. This is the new Better Homes and Gardens television and streaming internet media venture from Meredith Corporation. I am very excited about this opportunity. Check your local listings and tune in if Better.TV is in your area. Or visit them online.
And late in the month, we’ll be chatting with working moms and podcasters, Erin and Kristin, over at the ManicMommies. These ladies are from the Boston area and are really focusing in on the challenges facing modern families and mothers. We are looking forward to chatting with them.
Bellingham, Washington’s Village Books will kick off our March events. They have graciously invited us to their store to have a book signing on March 6 at 7pm. Lindsay and I have not seen one another to sign any (not ONE) book since it has come out. So those who attend will be the first to get their copies signed by not just one, but BOTH, of us. If you don’t already have a copy of the book, Village Books, will have copies on hand for purchase. Why not bring a friend, go for coffee, or have dinner, and come by for a unique Girls’ Night Out?
Hope to see you there!
