6th Annual Children's Reading and Art Day Fesitval

I will be attending the 6th annual Children's Reading and Art Day Festival at the Sarasota Children's Garden.

I only just found out about the event and the organizers were kind enough to allow me to participate.

If you are local, I hope you can come out and join us.

20th Annual Tampa Bay Times Festival of Reading

We would like to thank everyone who stopped by and all those who purchased one of our fables. Doug, Candace and I were very happy to meet and speak with you and we truly hope you enjoy the books. We'd love to hear your thoughts. You can contact me at author@davidscottlillis.com or leave a review on the book page at amazon.com (author's amazon page).

We have a busy schedule before the new year. The fourth fable will be released in paperback this month and the Kindle editions of the third and fourth fable will be released in November.

Doug and I will be hard at work producing the audio versions of the fables and Debra will be working on the illustrations for the fifth book.

Will will also be attending a few more book sale and signing events and will post information here and on my site (www.davidscottlillis.com).

We wish you well and hope you have a happy Halloween!

In Shadow's Sea is now available in print on Amazon. com. I will have copies and artwork available at Tampa Bay Times Festival of Reading on October 20th (see my site for details). The artist will also be in attendance at the show.

Artist Announced for Fifth Fable

Debra Mixon Holliday has agreed to illustrate the fifth fable in this series. I was instantly enamoured with Stand, the piece that introduced me to her talent, and am anxious to work with her. Debra recently shared with me a few pages from her sketchbook filled with vultures she has spied in and about the woods near her house and I am looking forward to her interpretation of this story. This fable is schedule for release mid-summer. Story updates and samples of her work will be posted on this site as we near publication. In the meantime, visit her site at www.debramixonholliday.com.
