Way Cool

We are almost finished with our convention season. We have one more convention to attend and as it is right here in our hometown of Morgantown, Wv, it makes the trip easy and with little prep work. This will be the state convention and I hope making the move from Charleston to Morgantown means it will be bigger and better. We have enjoyed and learned from every convention we attended this year. We were asked over and over if we had a high school line. We have had many, many talks at our business meetings about this. It seems now is the time to put all our ideas onto paper and develop this line. It is not anything we are throwing together or taking lightly. To develop a line that high schoolers would want and use takes A LOT of consideration and thought. But let me just say, that the idea that did come and is in development (all over my kitchen floor and table) is WAY COOL…..It will take quite some time and trial after trial, print after print, tweak after tweak…….but the skeleton frame I am working with……..WAAAAAAAY COOOOOL….I wish I was in high school again. The first stage of development will deal with timelines for literature. We use Pockets of Time for the elementary level. These just wouldn’t be cool enough for the grades we had in mind. If all works out on paper as I see it in my head, your readers will WANT to get to the next chapter in the book. I love this stage of development. I can’t wait until we have enough to tease you with. We will be planning issue dates soon. Keep checking back every so often. We work fulltime through the summer and have LOADS of new stuff coming out before school starts again.

Blessings,

Shannon
