Gillian Listed in OC Register Newspaper for OCDE Young Authors' Book Faire!

The Sparky event went great! I was invited by the book fair to attend, so it was all FREE for me! They gave me 30 minutes of stage time and I was also given a spot to sell and sign Sparky books all day at the Barnes & Noble booth. They supplied all the books and pens and rang it all up for me... The Book Faire had volunteers arranged to wear the Sparky costume and take pictures with the kids.... AND I was given 1st billing in the OC Register newspaper....
