Well, this is to be an interesting spring. I have been asked to do a signing for another author. His name is George Bryan Polivk, and the book that he's written is called "Legend of the Firefish" which is published by Harvest House. It comes out this March 12, 2007 and from the teaser chapter I've been given it looks promising.
We're looking to do the signing after Easter and we'll have it in the main store, and everyone is rather excited. I am too.
Kinda.
Sorta.
Maybe.
I think I'm actually already intimidated, you see George Bryan Polivk is an Emmy award winning screen writer.
Can you say *gulp*?
I mean I haven't actually talked to him yet, so I'm also very likely psyching myself out. Which Rhu says must stop. Easier said than done. Anyway, I haven't officially talked with him yet, I'm talking with his wife, a very lovely woman in her own right, like another Lady of my acquaintance. To get this thing really rolling, we need to exchange e-mail addresses, and start seriously narrowing down the window of time for the event. I need to see if I should start calling newspapers, if they want me to do the ''staging'' which I so much enjoy, and also need to get the books ordered from Harvest with the understanding that we are doing the signing.
I should be overwhelmed with gratitude for the opportunity.
I should be jumping up and down with delight and going "I can't believe the marvelous opportunity that is coming my way"
But-but-but it is all new, he's not the author I'm used to dealing with-the one that is brilliant to work with and generous too-it's not the book series I know, and it's not the publisher I know. Lots of new variables. Lots of opportunities to crash and burn.

well scribe im sure everything will go smooth. have faith and i will put in a prayer or two for you. also i might have to look up this book sounds interesting.
It is interesting, and thanks for the prayers, I have too little faith in my own abilities. I mean, there's arrogence and then there's self pitty and both are not good. Anyway, the book is very good from the little chapter I got. Mr. Polvika is going to get me a ''readers'' copy soon. I'm sure he'll want the darling back :) but atleast I'll know what it's like and can reccomend it fully.
this will be very nice scribe. Then you will be able to say "josh read this book... its good." lol im sure i will check it out and about the comment you left on my page. Feasting after famine is a very good thing. today I start on eragon. Then im going to check out Christopher hoppers white lion chronicles then im off to your first few suggestions. Then the ones after those. And somewhere in the middle i plan on reading and watching The bridge to terabithia. ^_^ im off to bed now so i can actually be on time for church.
