“First, children must want to read,” Miss Anna F. Magill would tell the teachers who came from all over the United States to learn her methods. “And second, they must have something worth reading.” She’d taught longer than any other teacher in any other school in New York City and always at P.S. 166 on Eighty-Ninth between Amsterdam and Columbus. She was the author of nine Anna F. Magill Readers and three Anna F. Magill teaching manuals, published by Ginn and Company of Boston and year after year, she terrified the first grade students in the school. She terrified their parents, too. She even terrified the principal. Or maybe it was awe.

Geocities closed, so I had to recreate my Website. Please stop by and check it out. Be sure to post a note in my guestbook so I know you were there.

Because of her age, Miss Magill would leave the room for a few minutes from time to time. When she did, she brought in one of her former students, now in the upper grades, to serve as monitors. (This was before they opened Joan of Arc Junior High; P.S. 166 still went up to eighth grade.) The monitors--always girls--were taller and older, intimidating not just through residual fear of Miss Magill, but through their size and age. Any sign of disorder and a glance from them stopped us cold.

I will be interviewed online at www.authors@wnbnetworkwest.com/ Authorsshow.html for 15 minutes regarding my book titled FROM THUNDER TO BREAKFAST, a memoir of Hube Yates, an adventurous Westerner with a great sense of humor. Sorry that address is so long. The program runs all day, so if you have 15 minutes to listen, please log on. I would appreciate it.

I also would like to hear from you.

PLEASE don't forget to log onto the Eons Book Gallery online conference on Saturday, October 3rd. I will be there from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. to take messages from you, and then, hopefully after 8:30 p.m. EST. In between those times I'll be at the Well Red Coyote Book Festival in Sedona, Arizona for eight hours. If I don't make much sense in the evening, I hope you'll understand. I may even fall asleep at the keyboard. I'm looking forward to you comments and questions.

You know me as LadyGene. My real name is Gene K. Garrison, a confusing name for sure.

Wishing everyone a colorful fall weekend.

You know me as petxpert. My name is Darlene Arden and I'll be in my Booth from 1 - 2 p.m. EST to discuss my books, including the two most recent; my behavior book, "Rover, Get Off Her Leg!" and my book specifically geared to owners, and potential owners, of little dogs, "Small Dogs, Big Hearts." I'll also be checking throughout the day and evening.

I'm looking forward to discussing everything from my books, to writing in a niche market. (Yes, we can talk about cats as well. )

Warmly,

Well, knock me over with a feather and call me giddy!
I just discovered the other day that my novel, The Ezekiel Code (www.ezekielcode.com), has made the amazon.com "best seller" list in various categories! Of course with thousands of books on the amazon site the sales stats fluctuate constantly so no telling how long this will last. But I'm partying while the news is still good. And today the news was quite good!

#9 in Kindle Store > Kindle Books > Fiction > Horror > Occult
#16 in Kindle Store > Kindle Books > Fiction > Religious Fiction
#24 in Books > Literature & Fiction > Genre Fiction > Horror > Occult

That #24 spot landed me one notch above a Stephen King novel! Gotta be a fluke! Somebody pinch me! LOL

Hoping you have a wonderful birthday!

Thank you Daffodil for organizing the Authors'Day Event and Writers Conference. As last year, it was a fun and informative event. Your many hours and weeks of spending time to plan for this day are much appreciated. Thanks for all your messages giving us instructions for posting for the event.
