SCBWI-Hawaii is eager to announce publishing successes by our members. Please e-mail your items (and book cover images) to niuiki@hawaiiantel.net. Also inform us of any awards your books receive.
Sue Cowing’s novel You Will Call Me Drog has been included in the 2012 edition of “Best Books to Read Aloud with Children of All Ages,” selected by the Children’s Book Committee-Bank Street College of Education. The guide is available in Kindle and Nook formats and is expected to be on googlebooks soon. And there’s more: a paperback edition of the book, with the shortened title Call Me Drog, will be published by Usborne UK on April 1.
John H. Ritter’s new novel, Fenway Fever, will be published by Philomel on April 12. It’s no coincidence that this novel appears in the year 2012, the hundredth anniversary of Fenway Park and the year of the predicted “new Big Inning.”
Gail Howell’s book, Starseeds in Hawaii, is available on Amazon.
