Hey Reader,

Trunk of Scrolls is
STILL going strong!!

Thank you for helping Trunk of Scrolls to reach its heights!

Newbery Awards...

When you signed up for this newsletter, you most likely rececived an email from me about "the thrill of a Scholastic Book Fair."

It's one of the first things I talk about with new subscribers.

When I was a kid, I loved the feeling of the book fair, seeing all the new possibilities of books and unknown worlds to discover.

I am hoping that this newsletter will create such a feeling for you--the excitement and anticipation, the feeling of getting a new book in your hand that belongs to you alone...

One of the purchases I made all those years ago at the Scholastic Book Fair was a set of five Newbery Award winners.

At the Book Fairs, I always loved looking at the Newbery Award winners. And when I became a writer, I had this impossible dream to write a classic Newbery Award winning novel.

Today I saw this.

On here, we have The Bronze Bow and the Golden Goblet, two of my favorite Newbery Award winners, and Mara of the Nile. And lo and behold! There's Trunk of Scrolls, rubbing shoulders with the greats. Sigh. They grow up so fast!

We're in the third week of being a hot new release! WOOT!

There is one problem with the news....watch this...

...about an infamous MEME.

PPsst... If you HAVE written a review for Trunk of Scrolls, would you contact me? I have something I want to give you. CLICK HERE

Do you have your copy yet? The ebook is great. It's free on KU--it has the story, plus all images. But the illustrated paperback is the thing that will make your heart leap for joy...

Right now, the paperback is at its LOWEST PRICE EVER. , It's on Amazon for $18.99 right now! (retail price, $24.99)

I wanted to make it accessible, so I lowered the price. But I can't keep it low like this for long. So please get your copy of the beautifully illustrated epic adventure story of Marcellus, Byziana, and their friends in ancient Byzantium.

See you next week!

Take care!

Darlene

From the Desk of Darlene N. Böcek Faith-building Other Worlds What a wonderful story. A wonderful freedom we have because of Good Friday, because of Resurrection Sunday. Recently, the Spurgeon devotional I read (Morning & Evening) has been focusing on the blood of Christ, the passion of His death, the beauty of salvation. Here are some thoughts to ponder: Judas mocked him in the garden; the chief priests and scribes laughed him to scorn; Herod set him at nought; the servants and the soldiers...
