- TODAY: Deadline for the cyber week discount for the Greater Lehigh Valley Writers Group annual The Write Stuff Conference. For more information, visit GLVWG.org.

Titles will include:
- Echo City Capers Christmas Special; Bunnies Cookies and a Robot! (three couple children’s books in one); and other titles with illustrations by Joseph Swarctz
- Bookworm’s Magickal Journey and Frog and Crow’s Conversation, children’s books by Larry Sceurman (and his fiction titles for adults as well)
- Trapped: What if Skunks were Matchmakers? by Seneca Blue, a romance featuring the residents of Plastiqueville as photographed by Joan Zachary.*
- The Fashion and Fiends horror series by Angel Ackerman
- Motorhome Gypsies by Rachel Thompson and Lisa Cross, part memoir and part how-to, a travel book about full-time RV living based on 15 years experience.— and so much more, depending what we can fit in the boxes
*Joan recycles small plastic figurines into her playful yet dramatic photography so you may recognize some Polly Pockets and former wrestlers.
- Also on Saturday, December 6: Echo City Capers will make their annual appearance at the Warren Tech Holiday Craft Show in Washington, N.J.
And just a reminder— I am considering reviving the FREE monthly workshops in February 2026. This workshops formerly occurred at Easton Area Public Library but we are looking at moving them about two miles down the road to Mary Meuser Memorial Library.
