When the dragons spews, it’s hot news!

Circles of Seven will begin showing up at bookstores around April 20. I will have copies on April 13, so if you pre-ordered from me, I will probably ship your copy by April 15.

The Parable Group of Christian bookstores informed AMG, the series publisher, that Raising Dragons was the number one dollar volume seller in the kids’ fiction category for the entire first quarter of 2005. That’s great news!

To see my full appearance schedule, go to http://www.dragonsinourmidst.com/Schedule.html

Other tours: I’m planning to come to Kalamazoo, Grand Rapids, Boston, and Seattle in May, so if you would like for me to schedule an appearance at your church or school, please let me know. I am also planning an autumn tour, and I will be driving west, so if you would want me to stop by and speak to your group anywhere in the southern half of the U.S. from Florida to Los Angeles, please let me know, and I’ll check to see if it’s possible.

Reading Programs: Scholastic has a reading program called "Reading Counts" that awards students points for reading books if they take a quiz about the book. I would like to get this series into that program. If a book gets requested enough, they will add it. Please help me by sending an e-mail to readingcounts@scholastic.com and asking for "Raising Dragons," "The Candlestone," and “Circles of Seven” by Bryan Davis to be added to the "Reading Counts" program. Thank you.

Old News, but worth remembering:

You can pre-order Circles of Seven from me at http://www.daviscrossing.com/circles.htm or from Amazon.com at http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0899571727 .

Libraries: It would be a great help if readers would ask their public or school libraries to buy the book series for their collections. Librarians are sometimes more receptive to enthusiastic readers than to authors. If you show them the books or provide ISBN numbers, they can order them. Here are the ISBN numbers:

Raising Dragons – 0899571700

The Candlestone – 0899571719

Circles of Seven - 0899571727

and then click on “Write a Review.” If you can give the books five stars, I would appreciate it. If you let me know that you wrote a review, I’ll send you a special Raising Dragons gift.

Thanks to all of you who are telling others about this book series. Spreading the news to your friends is the best way to make these books succeed.
