To celebrate the release of my debut picture book THE MONSTORE on June 4th, I am offering free Skype visits with your class the week of June 10th. (Yes, I know school will be out for a lot of you, but I live in Jersey, where school drags on into summer.)
For the Skype visit I will:
Skype visits will take place from June 10th to June 14th and last 30 minutes.
Whoops, and I will not saw a lady in half. Sorry ’bout that one. I got carried away.
To set up the Skype visit, please email me at tarawrites (at) yahoo (dot) com with “Free Skype Visit” in the subject line. Please include the following details:
I will try my best to schedule everyone who requests a Skype visit, but please note if I cannot, you will be selected on a first come/first served basis. Also, for reading purposes it’s best if you have a copy of THE MONSTORE in your classroom, but it is not a requirement.
Let the Skyping begin!
P.S. I apologize in advance for my northeast accent.
P.P.S. It’s not as bad as the cast from “Jersey Shore”.
P.P.P.S. Most of the “Jersey Shore” cast is from New York.

YAY! Going to share this with some teacher friends. Even though I was pretty excited about the sawing a lady in half, I know it won’t be missed because of your book and sparkling personality! 😉

Thanks so much for the opportunity, Tara! I wish I could take you up on it, but my daughter won’t be in school that week.
Would it be possible for me to ask my sister-in-law, a 4th grade teacher, if she could do so?

Of course, Maria. This offer is open to any and every teacher!

What a lovely thing to do. I’m going to ask Matthew’s teacher if they can skype.

Hmm… I think I’ll be out of school by then (unless a freak snowstorm hits and we have an extra day or two of school), but can I Skype you (you don’t have to be in PJs (although if you want to, wear the PJs the next group chooses to save time)). I can lithp on command, tho we’ll be tho even, Mith Lazar! 😉 I’ve also memorized several lines from “The Princess Bride” (movie) – Hello! My name is Inigo Montoya! You killed my father! Prepare to die!! … And more! We’re E*qually weird!

Matthew’s teacher is really excited about this, she’s checking about Skype. I hope we’re not too late! :0)
