The Friday Wrap: New Moon Girls, Boston Book Festival Audio, and EMPOWER! Video

Great news -- Alex and Sage are featured in the November/December 2012 issue of New Moon Girls, the popular tween magazine.  Look for them on page 19!

The Boston Book Festival recently posted their 2012 audio files.  I shared the stage with Deni Bechard and John Spooner for the "True Story: Personal Visions" session.  Anthony Brooks moderated.  It was a fascinating and fun-filled 45 minutes -- Deni Bechard had quite the interesting childhood with his bank-robber dad, and John Spooner gave excellent and entertaining advice on how to get a job in this horrible economy.  I, of course, spoke about Up and how Alex's original quest for the NH48 changed the lives of me and my children.  To listen to the entire session, click here and scroll down to TRUE STORY: PERSONAL VISION.

GirlVentures sent me a video of my October 3 EMPOWER! Breakfast talk.

That wraps up our week...kind of.  There are a lot of fabulous things going on in terms of GIRLS ON THE WAY, but I'm not yet in a position to talk about them.  Soon, very soon.  In the meantime, please visit the site and donate to GirlVentures and/or Global Fund for Women in honor of GIRLS ON THE WAY.

The Boston Book Festival Was a Blast!

I had the pleasure of sharing the stage with best-selling author John Spooner and wonderful writer Deni Bechard at the Boston Book Festival yesterday.  We were interviewed by Radio Boston's Anthony Brooks.

After the panel session, I was interviewed by the good folks of Literary Traveler.

In addition to talking about my book, Up: A Mother and Daughter's Peakbagging Adventure, I spoke of our upcoming Camino walk at both the panel discussion and the Literary Traveler interview.

Hopefully, GIRLS ON THE WAY will get a lot of attention in the coming weeks and Global Fund for Women and GirlVentures will receive many donations!

EDIT 11/3/12: The Boston Book Festival recently posted audio links; click here and scroll down to "True Story: Personal Vision" to hear me speak about UP (and the Camino!). Deni Bechard and John Spooner are included in the session; Bechard talks about his fascinating bank-robber father and Spooner gives wonderful and entertaining advice on how to get a job in this horrible economy.
