The earnings from Miri Attwater and the Ocean’s Secret has finally gotten big enough for Amazon to cut a first check! Woohoo! And it’s a whopper, a whole $103.09.

But in publishing you have to celebrate the little successes. And I must say, even getting a small check made me happy today.

What about you, what made you happy today? Happy Monday!

Title Reveal for the continuation of Miri Attwater’s Adventures, Miri Attwater and All that Glitters

31 January, 2013 by ES Ivy

Gold nugget
Book 2 has a title!
Miri Attwater 
and 
All that Glitters
So what glitters? Is all that glitters gold?
     Gold is a pure element, which means all the atoms in a nugget of gold are the same. Chemists abbreviate gold with its chemical symbol Au. In it’s pure form before it’s been polished, gold doesn’t really glitter. In fact, it’s kind of dull.
Pyrite
     Pyrite, though, glitters a lot! Pyrite is sometimes even found in the same types of formations as gold. It’s shiny appearance has given it the nickname “fool’s gold.”
     But pyrite isn’t gold at all! It is only iron and sulfur combined together to form a compound called iron sulfide. Chemists write its name FeS2 .
 
     It is sure has fooled a lot of hopeful gold diggers!

Our Christmas table. Sparkling fruit juice always adds a pretty touch.

Our Christmas table. Sparkling fruit juice always adds a pretty touch.

So I know you’re asking, what does your Christmas dinner have to do with books, writing, and getting kids to read?

Or maybe you aren’t.

For my own peace of mind, I’m going to justify it anyway. (There needs to be some sort of structure to this blog, doesn’t there?)

The first time Miri met the Queen in Miri Attwater and the Ocean’s Secret it was at a fancy, schmancy dinner. Sadly, the Queen wasn’t wearing a tiara. (Don’t worry! A crown is coming in Book 2 – All that Glitters.) But there was plenty of sparkling china, crystal, and silver that Miri had to worry about not knocking off the table!

What are the rules for dining with the Queen?…
