Charlotte Barnes, Florida Poet, Author, and Humorist

Just added a new calendar of events to the site! You'll be able to keep up with upcoming interviews, book signings, shows, etc. Please bear with me, as I'm not very technical and am still learning.

I've signed one copy of each of my books and donated them to Roberts Elementary School in Tallahassee, FL, for a silent auction on March 19th. The auction proceeds will be used to buy promethean boards for the classrooms. If anyone is in the Tallahassee area, check it out! Best of luck, Roberts Elementary Red Foxes!

I've confirmed I will be a guest on Book Bites for Kids on Blog Talk Radio on March 1 at 2pm Central. If you want to check out the site beforehand, it's www.blogtalkradio.com/bookbitesforkids.

Just joined Twitter! You can find me at www.twitter.com/writercharlotte.

Earlier tonight I visited the Random Book Machine site mentioned in my previous entry and was overjoyed to discover that the cover for "Poems from a Florida Girl" was  the number one rated cover! Thanks! Due to the nature of the site (the constant voting), I'm sure I'll get knocked off shortly, but thanks while it lasts!

Rate 2 of my book covers on www.randombookmachine.com. The covers for "Stella Ducktropolis" and "Poems from a Florida Girl" were just added tonight!

Come check out my newest site, www.sharingthesunshine.com! Share your good news (big and small) and express your gratitude for all the blessings you have, even in these trying times. You'll find us sharing in the discussion forums.

Also, during the course of trying to promote the new site, I discovered a site full of like-minded women and joined that community also. To see my profile there, go to www.braveheartwomen.com/writercharlotte.

Happy Holidays to all!

Some copies of "Stella Ducktropolis" are "winging" their way to Santa Rosa Kids House for Christmas. I hope the kids enjoy them.

My two most recent books, "Stella Ducktropolis" and "Poems from a Florida Girl" will be on display at the Florida Library Association Book Show on April 7-9, 2010 in Orlando, FL.

By the way, thanks to all the folks showing an interest here, on Facebook, and on Linkedin.
