Little TyCooney

The Grand Canyon

Sometimes life does not work out as planned. Did I say sometimes? Hardly ever. Our entire family had planned to go to Phoenix and The Grand Canyon. By “entire” I mean all four of us. However, the van had other plans. It blew up. Fortunately, we were already at my Mom’s house and not on the 101. We decided renting a car was the best plan, and I stayed behind to retrieve the car when it was fixed. There was enough room for our eight year old to go as well, but Savannah is going to have to wait to see one of the world’s biggest ditches. However, spending the week in Malibu with her cousin is a pretty fun thing.

Steve and Peyton went to The Grand Canyon today. Pretty cold and drizzly, but of course amazing. The main purpose was to show the book to some buyers. One of the comanies, Delaware North, will mostly likely take it. Who knows about the others.

Tomorrow is a big assembly day, with Steve at two Falgstaff schools,and another event in the evening. Let’s hope his voice holds out and we sell lots of books!

New Books to arrive Wednesday!

We are so close. We have been done with our newest book, Little Ty Cooney and the Grand Canyon Tour Company, for over six weeks. We just got word from the printer that we will receive five advance copies on Wednesday. Not a moment too soon! We are leaving Oakhurst on Thursday and won’t be home until December! We really wanted the new books, not just because it’s exciting to have, but to show some book buyers on our journey. Once we approve these books, the printers will bind the remaining copies and we should have them in early December. Finally!

By the way, we will be in Phoenix on the 6th of November at a great event hosted by Kids Need to Read. Log on the their website if you are going to be in the area. It should be a lot of fun! From there, we are hopping up to Flagstaff to visit friends. Of course, we always try to work wherever we go, and when we are in Flagstaff, we will be visiting a few schools, and performing a special assembly for the homeschooling families of the area. We are excited to go-except sometimes for Julie, my wife, who is thinking too much about the packing and not the going!
