Book and Author News--Issue 6



Welcome to Spring. This is what my cherry trees will look like in about a month.

This week we celebrate readers and fans from around the country and around the world. Meet some of Nora Roberts’s fans online at the adwoff website and chat about Nora and her books. Nora sends postcards and pictures from her trips to the site. http://adwoff.com/
After Hurricane Katrina, Adwoff members and Nora’s fans raised over $30,000 online for Habitat for Humanity—and Nora matched that and more. And in 2002 when a town landmark in Ardmore was threatened by development, Nora’s fans rallied sending thousands of emails to the Ardmore council and persuading them to make the area around St. Declan’s an untouchable “green area.”

Deirdre Martin, author of Stealing Stanley, got an encouraging note from Alice a reader in the UK who loved her hockey themed novels so much she wrote up a review and sent it to the local hockey team, the Sheffield Steelers. The team published the review of the book in their program and then sent it on to their opposing team.
Post your own reader's stories as comments to this post.

Stop over at the Word Wenches blog (http://www.wordwenches.com/) and read Mary Jo’s review of the new movie Amazing Grace.
