Things couldn't have worked out better. Bud Wagner, author of And There Shall be Wars is turning 90 on Sunday, June 14th, which ironically is Flag Day. FOX 21 News in Duluth is doing a feature story on Bud, his gardening and his book...in fact, his life story. Additionally, a 14 page feature story on Bud and his wartime experiences in Italy is running in the Italian magazine Terre di Seta, complete with 22 great photos from his book.
This great blessing is happening to a great man at a wonderful time in his life. Having served his country, his family, his church, and his community for 90 years, this is a tremendous tribute to one of the stalwarts of The Greatest Generation.

Super Story on Super Angler
Well, the third good thing has come. The Eau Claire Leader Telegram ran a great article on Jay Thurston. It features his trout fishing expertise primarily, but does give good ink to his book. If you care to check it out, visit: http://www.leadertelegram.com/story-ros.asp?id=BJQMOTBSJIN
GREAT REVIEW OF DWP
"Good things come in threes," my mother used to say. Here's the second good review in a week. This for Jon Severson, author of Delivered With Pride: A Pictorial History of the Duluth, Winnipeg & Pacific Railroad. Steve Glischinski said in TRAINS Magazine's April issue that the book is: "...an overdue study of a railroad that is an integral part of the CN system." Jon has also been invited to be at the upcoming National Railway Historical Society convention in Duluth this coming August. Congrats Jon! Looking forward to good thing #3!

LUELLA GOES VIRAL / GETS ON ELLEN!
Here's the deal: National Children's Book Week begins May 12th. We've offered to give a copy of Melinda Braun's book Luella to audience members of the Ellen show one of those days if they will have Melinda on to tell the sweet, sweet, TRUE story of the orphan duck raised by a Pug named Pancake. Would you be willing to help make this a reality by emailing Ellen's show and "encouraging" them to have Melinda on as a guest? Tell ALL your friends to do the same. If this goes viral and enough people ask, maybe they'll invite Melinda to the show and she will be able to meet one of her favorite stars. Plus, children around the world will get to know a true story of love and acceptance. Please email Ellen for us! Ask your friends to do the same! Thanks! Go to: The Ellen Degeneres website and help get the plucky ducky, the pugnacious pug, and the angelic author on Ellen for National Children's Book Week!
Check out Melinda's blog It's a fun visit.

Kontent is King
Listening to a fan of Jon Severson's Delivered With Pride, a Pictorial History of the Duluth Winnipeg & Pacific Railroad was fascinating. "It tells the story of a monumental task that took courage, hard work, and great ambition to accomplish," the reader said. The comment made me think of my oft repeated mantra, "Content is King," when it comes to publishing. It is thrilling that Delivered With Pride delivers great content and pleases readers all around North America.
