Dreams Do Come True!

I stopped in at a library this week and look what I found on their shelf!  I spy, "Destination White House"!

I’ll admit, it's amazing and a bit surreal for me to see my own book on a library shelf. Growing up I made frequent visits to the town’s library and was well known by all the librarians.  The inspiration for my book came from reading Oklahoma author, Bill Wallace’s books which I had discovered on these very same shelves. I remember thinking, “If he can do it, I can do it!” When I began writing my own book, I was only eleven years old.

I remember asking my favorite librarian, Gerry if one day they would put my book on the library shelf. I was so disappointed to hear that it had to be published before it could be placed in their system.

Long story short, a lot of hard work and nine years later; I am very humbled to see my book finally made its way to the library shelf!  It's been amazing to see that dreams do come true.  My God is so amazing!

Author, Robin Burk with her home-town librarians, Gerry & Sue.

Pictures!

These are some of the pictures from the book signing events at Cabin Creek Coffee shop and Olivet Books and Gifts in Alpena, Michigan.  It was such a blessing to be able to put a smile on these little faces and inspire them to read and achieve their dreams!

A big thanks to Dianne Spear of the Alpena Newspaper who wrote up a great article announcing the event at Olivet, and to all those who stopped by to meet me and show their support.

Many blessings,

Book Signing Events At Cabin Creek & Olivet

Cabin Creek Coffee shop and the Olivet Book & Gift in Alpena, Michigan will be hosting two separate book signing events for author, Robin Burk.  The event at Cabin Creek will be on Saturday, March 3rd from 1:00-3:00 and Olivet Book & Gift will be Saturday, March 10th from 10:30am-1:30p.m.  Please mark the dates on your calenders and invite your friends and family to stop by and see me and purchase a signed copy of my children's book, Destination White House.

Destination White House is a captivating adventure, sure to entertain all ages but especially young readers. The reading level of this book is geared towards the ages of 9-13, however it works great for parents with children under those ages as a story time read-aloud. It's also a great chapter book for teachers who are conducting a book assignment for their class. If you are looking for a great gift to give you child, grandchild, niece or nephew, or you simply love children's books, Destination White House is the book to buy!  But you don't have to take my word for it, please read the reviews on Barnes and Noble or Amazon!

If you, or someone you know, would like a copy of my book but are unable to attend these events you can purchase a copy online through the links listed on the left; Barnes & Noble, Amazon, & Tate Publishing.  Or by calling Olivet Book & Gift at: (989) 354-3331 and requesting a copy!
