EXCLUSIVE!
EXTRA! EXTRA! Read all about it...
Thanks for stopping by and visiting my site. I hope you'll find some interesting things here. And feel free to drop me an email via my Contact page if you do! Here's a bit of fun news:
Thanks to the fine folks at Eyetique and Sahaida Photography in the Strip, I have been chosen as one of the "Celebrities of Pittsburgh." (I know - it shocked me, too!) Previous Celebs have included Steelers Ben Roethlisberger, Hines Ward and former Head Coach Bill Cowher, as well as composer Marvin Hamlisch and actress Donna Mills. Needless to say, it is an honor for me to be in such esteemed company representing Eyetique, Pittsburgh's premier fashion eyewear retailer.
The photo shoot resulted in the picture on my Press page HERE. The shot, per my friend Mike, is reminiscent of MacCauley Culkin in Home Alone ("AAAAAAAHHHHH!") and appears in the May 10th and May 17th issues of the Pittsburgh City Paper. It is slated to run in other publications, including Whirl and possibly Pittsburgh, in the coming months.
NEW BOOK
Mom Can't Cook!
Only available at www.sandyhenry.com
I hope you will check out my Bookshelf page. I've got kids' books, a book for the beach - and, there is a brand new title available. It's another rhyming children's book, Mom Can't Cook! , and it's only available here on my website. Note: a portion of the profits from Mom Can't Cook! will be donated to a service organization for the benefit of promoting healthy self-esteem in young girls.
It's important to me that my books for children entertain without preaching and feature topical, timely themes. Some of these themes include diversity, the dangers of bullying and the importance of treating each other kindly. I worked with Pittsburgh illustrator Jessica Kennedy on the Mom picture book (inspired in part by my own lackluster culinary skills). Below is Jessica's cover - I can't believe how lucky I am to have her charming illustrations to enhance my story! Visit Jess @ http://www.JessLKennedy.com.
Meantime, I'm lining up some Rhyming Workshops and marketing Carnegie (Arcadia Publishing's Images of America, 2006).
For the record, you needn't be a Pennsylvania native to enjoy Carnegie. The book celebrates the fascinating people of Carnegie, Pennsylvania, including the town's benefactor, Andrew Carnegie, Honus Wagner (the first ball player to have his signature branded on a Louisville Slugger! ). There's even a surprising connection to Nancy Drew! I hope you'll check it out. Click on my bookshelf page to order this or any of my other books.
Finally, a big thank you to those of you who have been hounding me for a new mystery. I will be working on my new romantic thriller during the winter months. It's a cruise ship suspense novel called My Bonny Lies.
Take care. I hope to see you soon!
