Book 4’s Birthday!

Root beer is Ma’s favorite beverage so it has become a launch tradition to crack open a bottle, but I went out this morning and came up empty…today I’ll be heading up to Evanston to meet with a small group of young writers and later this month I’ll be signing THE ENCHANTED BRIDGE at Booked but otherwise, we’re having a fairly low-key launch. The social media giveaway is over but you can read a fun Q&A at The Nerd Daily and join us on the 21st for a live interview with Ellie at FourOneSixLove. I spent the weekend working on my next poetry collection, Perennial, which means I’ve got three books on the go right now…I meet with a Canadian film company later this week—still hoping to have my dragon tales on screen!—and my puppetry class starts Thursday evening. It was so nice to have a quiet holiday but now it’s time to shake off the silence and solitude! The Chicago Puppet Festival starts soon and I bought tickets to three shows; three friends have a birthday on the 26th and a Brooklyn buddy is visiting this week. Hope I have the social stamina to survive these next few weeks! It’s definitely going to be hectic. I’ll be traveling to TX in early February but everything else will be online. For events that are open to the public, follow me on social media and if you’re having trouble signing up for my newsletter, please email me: info@zettaelliott.com. The dragon series is nearing 400,000 copies sold so thanks to all my readers for your continued support!
