Full Crew Turn Out for Monkey Shines Book Club Meeting
Yo Ho Ho and a Bottle of Soda!
Captain Sue and her Pirate Crew made sure all the young Ghosters were well fed and watered for our Book Club Meeting at Monkey Shines Children's Book Store. Thanks Sue!
We had a boat load of enthusiastic Ghosters who enjoyed over an hour of fun as we delved into the background of the book and the characters in Ghost Messages.
The PPT presentation showed young sailors what life was like on the Great Eastern and how laying a transatlantic cable was anything but easy.
The Morse Code Puzzlers turned out to be a challenge, but an answer key went home with each contestant so that they can figure out the questions while soaking up the sun.
Two lucky participants won an exclusive Ghost Messages T-Shirt sure to bring comments from all they meet.
Bookmarks added a special touch, as no one should have a new book without a new book mark.
Lots of questions and interest from all the crew made for a spirited afternoon.
I look forward to hearing from a whole boatload of new Ghosters as we continue our voyage across the foaming waves!

Fantastic Fans Come Out for Reading!
The Reading/Signing at Indigo West Hills was a great success! Thanks to the many new Ghosters, the book sold out in a very short time. I happened to have brought a few extra copies which allowed more crewmates to come aboard, including a retired American Sailor who bought the book for himself.
The Surprise Prize for each reading was a hit with one young lad taking an exclusive and very trendy 'Ghost Messages' T-shirt back with him to Scandanavia, along with a copy of the book.
The folks at Indigo were super and here's a 21 gun salute to Patricia, the best 'Kids Book Section' authority in Canada, (amazing, knowledgable, and a genius at putting the right book in every young reader's hands), as well as Joel Wedel, Customer Experience Manager who made our stay in his port run so smoothly.
Join us on July 7, 4:00, at Monkeyshines, 113- 2215 -33Avenue, S.W., Calgary for more fun on the high seas as the Ghost Messages Book Club has an afternoon of excitment and entertainment, complete with Prizes, a Powerpoint Presentation, Morse Code Quiz, Insider Scoop from the Author and snacks to enjoy while we chat! Phone 403-240-1723 for details.
In the meantime, enjoy our balmy weather, calm seas and fair winds as we continue our voyage.
