| Summer has arrived! Kids are out of school and everyone is looking forward to some warm weather and sun. Hopefully. Spring was a bit of winter that didn't let go for Northeast Ohio. With all the events coming up this summer, I'm hoping to not be so cold.If you'd like to see what events I'll be at, check out: https://www.sa-schneider.com/upcoming-events-s-a-schneider/There is a mixture of author/book events, craft shows and cryptid festivals. Even a flea market and Rock and Roll show. I'd love to meet kids that love to read and write, homeschool parents, and teachers. Stop by and let's talk.For the cryptid events, I have a fun Hunt Bigfoot phone game for the kids and the Young Researcher I.D. cards and hotline. Summer Reads with Bigfoot - If you haven't seen, the Oddish Questor book 1 - The Bigfoot Case - is out. I know many of you have read the Christmas story and have been asking for the book. It's available at https://www.sa-schneider.com/books/the-bigfoot-case/ and also my table at any event.Speaking of the Christmas story (The Delivery Guy), Twan Amoto has created a new cover for it and is working on a new cover for The Bigfoot Case and an upcoming release of The Monroeville Monster. Keep an eye out for those, as the art is fantastic!Danny Thomas created a new cover to Trolls, Gold, and Horses book - https://www.sa-schneider.com/books/help-an-author-visits-southeast-pirates/and he may be doing more covers in the future.And of course, Thom Zahler has created 2 covers for upcoming Town Magician releases: Short Stories Collection and Wanted: Samual. Keep an eye out for information on those at https://facebook.com/SASAuthor Wordy - If you haven't seen my weekly Words of the Week videos, check them out on YouTube. As a new feature, I've created an app that gives you a new word of the day. Visit https://wordy-delight.sa-schneider.com/ every day for a new word with pronunciation and examples. Video Game Book and Buddy - for everyone that has attended my video game class, the first book is out, but only available at the events over the summer. Designed to introduce the video game industry to kids and their parents, it's the first of a series. Working with Pixicade and of course Bloxels is coming soon. In the meantime, for those of you that have been creating games with your Bloxel system, I created a pixel builder. Just tell the genie what you want and it creates a pixel version you can use in Bloxels. You can even download the created image in a grid format to easily add it to your Bloxels game. All right, hope to see many of you this summer and chat about reading, books, writing, video games, and Bigfoot. Enjoy the Adventure! |
