Countdown: 3 Days 'Til the Oriental Boat Show

What other books will be on the table at the Inkling booth?
I will have a display and stock of the Kingdom of the Falcon Series at the show also. While not directly boat related, these books will provide hours of reading pleasure and would be the perfect cruising companion.

Look for the Falcon Series to be between the arrows. You will know it when you see it.

I hope to see you there.

Countdown: 4 Days 'Til the Oriental Boat Show

What can you expect to see when you visit the Inkling booth?
The first thing you are likely to notice is the Adventures of Boathouse Mouse series displayed front and center. It should stand to reason that the stories about a boatbuilder mouse turned world adventurer would be the connection that brings us to a boat show.

We have a good stock of Boathouse Mouse Books 1 and 2. And, according to my UPS notifications, a shipment of Boathouse Mouse Book 3, The Wrong Direction, will arrive in plenty of time to be at the show.

I hope to see you there.

A Touch of Class

If you know me, you know I am about as practical as a nickel in a piggy bank. In my world view, clothing protects me from the elements and from embarrassment. Consequently, I identify clothing in two categories: dirty clothes, which go into the hamper; and clean clothes, which come out of the drawer. And for the record, I do help with the laundry.

My daughters seem to think my fashion sense is something between a Depression-Era hobo and Robinson Crusoe. I think maybe they overly dramatize my propensity to opt for comfort over fashion.

None of that actually matters at this moment. The shirts that we had monogrammed for our public appearances are classic, comfortable, and acceptable for going out in public. Yes, my wife made the decisions, with strong hints, about style and color. I did, however, come up with the wording. I suppose that would stand to reason.

Anyway, we will be at the Oriental Boat Show April 21-23. Come out and see us there. I think we might even look better in person.

We may look like a wreck in the wind and sun, but we promise we do not bite.

This will be the third year running that we have a vendor's booth for our boat mission work at the Oriental Boat Show. But I'm certain you all know that we don't ever quite channel normal, and this year is no exception. So, we will also have a vendor's booth at the same boat show for Inkling Publications!

At this moment you may be thinking – RV, you've lost your grip on reality. The Oriental Boat Show is a … is a boat show.

An excellent observation, to be certain. However, Inkling Publications is now the official retail/wholesale distributor of my books. And Boathouse Mouse Adventure #3 is slated to be hot off the press just in time for the boat show. After all, what venue could be better for our public debut of Boathouse Mouse Adventures than a boat show?

By the way, we will have all of my titles there, so no worries.

Now, getting back to the blog's title assertion, you may notice a dual set of announcements on social media sites about the boat show. To demystify these apparently cloned blog posts, we will indeed have two booths. We were told they can be side by side. If the organizers can pull that off, that would be amazing. I certainly hope the two booths are at least in sight of each other.

And I surely hope to see you there.
