A note from Jeff & Victoria Nania:

Figure Eight: A Northern Lakes Mystery (ISBN-10: 1942586558) was published in January 2019 by Little Creek Press in Mineral Point, Wisconsin. It's a perfect pick for patrons who read authors like C. J. Box, William Kent Krueger, Victoria Houston, Nick Petrie, Patricia Skalka, and John Sandford, or readers who just love plot twists and a fast-paced story! (See reviews.) It is a book with high regional interest. The second book in the series, Spider Lake, is expected January 2020. 
 
Figure Eight has been featured in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel “Here are four outdoors-related books with a Wisconsin flavor to consider as holiday gifts” by Paul Smith and other media outlets. Jeff is a dynamic speaker and has spoken at dozens of events over the past eleven months and would love to support your public library with an author presentation. He has also been interviewed on WRCO Radio and you can watch him in action at Ocooch Books.
 
Jeff Nania is a feature writer for Wisconsin Outdoor News and other publications. In Figure Eight, the first book in the Northern Lakes Mystery series, Nania draws upon careers in law enforcement and conservation to weave together a thrilling tale of murder and deceit, family and traditions, and second chances and make readers wonder who is on the right side of the law in the Northwoods.

Figure Eight is available through both Ingram and Follet/Baker Taylor​.

Hello,
 
My name is Lori Orlinsky, and I have recently been published with Mascot Books.  I'm writing to ask if you might consider offering my featured title in your library. I am a Chicago author and was just featured in the Chicago Tribune. 

“Being Small (Isn’t So Bad After All)” (ISBN: 978-1643071275) is a picture book about a little girl who doesn’t want to go to school because she’s the shortest kid in class. Through rhyming verse and beautiful illustrations, she eventually learns to celebrate her differences.

Hello, my name is Melanie Burgess. I am from Keyser WV and I am the author and illustrator of the new award winning children's book called Stinky Owl.

I would like to tell you about my book. My book features the birds of prey from the Rocky Gap State Park aviary and the illustrations are from the park's campground.  The book is centered around the Great Horned Owl. Great Horned Owls are one of the few birds of prey that regularly eat skunks.  This owl enjoys eating skunks so much that he smells bad and has no friends and is lonely and sad.

​The book has true facts about each bird of prey in the story along with actual pictures of the birds with additional facts at the end of the book. This story is educational and has a cute story line. 

​Ann lived and worked all over the world until the age of thirty-one when she realized her Life Dream by finally coming to live in America permanently. She is extremely proud to have become a US Citizen in 1998.  For nearly fifteen years, she taught both English (as a foreign language) and Spanish. Fluent in four of six languages, Ann’s favorite motto is: “Don’t put off until tomorrow what you can do today!”

​This is her first publication and tells the story of her childhood, international adventurous travels and life journey up until the present day. She lives in Colorado Springs with her devoted husband Jimmie, son Ryan and two cats, Maya and Dexter.
