Just completed a Goodreads book giveaway for The Ivory-billed Obsession, book 2 in my trilogy Of the Wing. 348 readers entered the giveaway to win one of the 30 available books, shipped today (December 16, 2011) via first class mailed. I'll be eagerly watching for the reviews as they come in. Already an additional 47 readers have listed their intent to read The Ivory-billed Obsession. Great news! But here's hoping they choose to first read book 1, The Legend Awakes.
BookFestPA! July 16, 2011 (during the Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts). Be among the first to get your signed copy of Book 2 in the Of the Wing trilogy: The Ivory-billed Obsession. Don't own Book 1 yet? No fret. Georgia will be selling and signing both books.

Writing Unit: Claire Encounters a Bird
In all but three chapters of The Legend Awakes, Claire encounters a bird. Some of these encounters are more significant than others but all are special to the girl who loves our feathered friends. In this writing unit, students will be given the opportunity to write a short scene incorporating a bird encounter in one of three chapters (10, 13, 16). But to do so, they must first become birders, just like Claire!
