4) Mark Bradshaw Homeschooler and Author of I Am Adopted - Booking Signing and Borders
Mark has a book signing scheduled for Saturday, November 22 at Borders Book Store in Chesterfield Mall. The event is from 1 PM to 4 PM, and we are trying to get the word out to everyone. He REALLY needs to have a good showing for this event.
For the past few weeks, I Am Adopted has been on the Amazon.com hot new releases list for its genre. The book has been positively reviewed by Tapestry Books and more...it is a great Christian resource for adoptive and foster families, and is already being utilized by several Christian family counselors. It would be a fantastic addition to a church library or counseling center, or a wonderful gift if you know of families who are adopting (especially children who are no longer infants).
Thanks again for your support.
