S. L. Rottman A successful week of school visits--I had a great time and had a lot of good responses and feedback from the sophomores. One more school visit on the calendar for this month (back home in FL), and then I'm done for the year...unless someone else wants to invite an author into the classroom!
S. L. Rottman After speaking to a class this morning and working out right after lunch, I'm now buckling down to do an edit--not coming up for air until I'm done...or have finished at least 100 pages....or get hungry....
S. L. Rottman Super cool event today: The last time I was in Gillette, I read a chapter of my unpublished manuscript, Out of the Blue. Today, I met a student who was in one of those classes, and he bought the published book! :) I'm reading a new manuscript chapter to some of the classes, hoping for the "Gillette kiss of good luck" to follow it!
S. L. Rottman Ready to start a week of school visits here in Gillette, WY!
S. L. Rottman Part of the School Library Journal October review of Out of the Blue: "The story offers both a realistic interpretation of teenage life on an Air Force base and the teen’s feeling of powerlessness upon witnessing child abuse–both physical and verbal–in action."–Ryan Donovan, New York Public Library
S. L. Rottman Part of the "Kiss the Book" review of Out of the Blue: "I learned a lot of things about military life that, as a civilian, I never really understood. Rottman writes really great problem fiction with boys as the main characters and everyone of his books is worth having in your library." MS, HS – ADVISABLE. Cindy, Library-Teacher
S. L. Rottman After 12 years of school visits, I really notice new/different questions, and today I got two!! 1) How has being an author changed your life? 2) Do your kids want to be authors too? Leave it to 3rd graders at Ralph Williams to come up with original thoughts! Looking forward to seeing if the 4th graders at Quest throw me any curve balls....
Susan Munnier Ms. Rottman -- my students would love to correspond with you. Are you open to that possibility? Hero is a definite highlight in our Literature 8 curriculum... (My name is Susan Munnier, and I teach at Princeton Community Middle School in Princeton, Indiana...)
S. L. Rottman Next week am doing two elementary school visits, which means I'm plugging Hey Mr. Choo-choo instead of my YA books. And the following week is all high school in Wyoming!
Time:12:00PM Saturday, November 21st
Location:Viera Avenues Beachside Toys
S. L. Rottman Is it true that there's no such thing as bad publicity? Out of the Blue got a blurb in the Florida Today newspaper, but it's at the end of the column, right above this lovely disclaimer: "Many of the books in this column are self-published; it is intended to note new works, not review them."
