I want to let you know of a special event I’m taking part in this Saturday, May 14th, 2016 – A Gathering of (local) Authors. Hosted by independent book store Book Heads and Seranya Art Studios, both in historic downtown Plymouth, WI.

This is a first time event and I was happy to learn of the many authors right here in my county. I can’t wait to meet them!

I’ve always enjoyed hearing how other writers got their start or what inspires them to write. I hope you do too and will consider coming to check out the many different and talented writers that are taking part in this wonderful event.

There will be readings/talks and signings beginning at 10:30am and running through 3:30pm with a wide variety of genres – something for everyone!

I will be doing a brief talk and reading from my memoir Through Frankie’s Eyes at Seranya Art Studios at 11:30am and then again at 1:30pm at Book Heads Book Store.

Review of Frankie’s Newest Book Hits the Big Times!

Posted by Barbara Techel

Having a review from not just one little girl, but two, is the best review you can ask for when you have a children’s book.  You know they don’t hold anything back, are honest, and speak from their hearts.  A few weeks ago when I read Madeline and Sophia’s reviews of my newest book, Frankie, the Walk ‘N Roll Therapy Dog Visits Libby’s House  I was touched beyond words.

Today I found out their review made it into the big times!  WOW! This is so thrilling!  And thrilling to just picture these two young girls, gleaming with pride that their review made it into the Chicago Sun Times! Fantastic!!  Congratulations, Madeline and Sophia… and thank you again from the bottom of my and Frankie’s heart.
