Boston Book Event
Last week I traveled to Wellesley, Massachusetts and took part in a wonderful parent-child book event. Author Nichole Bernier was kind enough to open up her home to me and fellow middle-grade book authors Chris Abouzeid and Carol Cronin. It was an honor to read with Chris and Carol, and the kids were a fantastic audience. I also loved meeting authors Randy Susan Meyer and Kathy Crowley.
Here are some pictures from the event:

Back From Memphis and More Events
Hi all!
I've had a busy few weeks! Last Monday, March 7th, I spoke to two schools in Memphis, Tennessee: Immaculate Conception Cathedral School and St. Louis School. Both audiences were fantastic! I loved their enthusiasm and energy. A big thank you to both schools for having me!
On Wednesday, March 9th, I participated in World Read Aloud Day. I had the privilege of Skyping with three different classrooms: Katherine Soklovski's 5th grade class in Illinois, Karla Duff's 6th grade class in Oelwein, Iowa, and Shannon Miller's 6th grade class in Van Meter, Iowa. The students asked excellent questions about my books and about writing. I loved hearing about their favorite books and how much they love to read!
In other news, I will be traveling to Boston, Massachusetts on April 6th to take part in an event hosted by the fabulous author, Nichole Bernier, with authors Chris Abouzeid and Carol Newman Cronin. On April 12th and 13th I will be at Family Literacy Nights in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
Stay tuned for more news!

The Wind Stone Release and Huntington Beach
Hi all,
The Wind Stone, Book Three of the The Reign of the Elements series, was released on Monday, 2/21! I think this is my favorite book of the series, so I'm very excited to share it with you! Check out my website for more information about the book here. Here is the cover:
On Tuesday, I traveled to Huntington Beach, California to speak at World Thinking Day 2011, put on by the Girl Scout Troops in Huntington Beach. The girls had put together tables dedicated to inspiring women from history. They were such a great audience and so enthusiastic about being empowered changemakers! A big thank you to Cadette Troop 262 for arranging for me to come. Here are some pictures from the event:
I will be traveling to Memphis on March 7th to speak at schools there and on March 9th I have three Skype chats with schools in the Midwest for World Read Aloud Day.
Until next time,
Riley

Denver School of Science and Technology and Other News
Hi Everybody,
I know it’s been awhile since I last posted, but a lot has happened recently. Throughout the fall, my literacy nonprofit, Breaking the Chain, gave thousands of books to dozens of classrooms and schools around the country. The Wind Stone: Book Three of The Reign of the Elements will be released in a few weeks by BookLight Press. I’m very excited!
The new year is shaping up to be a busy one with lots of speaking engagements lined up. Most recently, I spoke at Denver School of Science and Technology: Green Valley Ranch. The students and teachers were fantastic. They were enthusiastic, inquisitive, and motivated. The school is very committed to reading and has made each of the students commit to reading 5,000 pages during the school year. Here are some pictures from my visit there:
I have a busy few months ahead. In February, I will be speaking in Huntington Beach, California at World Thinking Day 2011. In March and April I will be traveling to Memphis and Boston for different author events.

Book Release and Other News
Hi Everybody,
So much has happened since I last posted here! Most importantly The Water Stone, the second book in The Reign of the Elements series, was released. Check it out on Amazon!
Also, on August 16th I’ll be participating in an event at Castlewood Library in Centennial, Colorado with authors Amy Efaw and Terri Clark. For more information look here.
I had a great author’s event last week at Koelbel Library. The kids and adults asked great questions and the librarians were amazing. Check out the great map they made of Mundaria.
Right now, my nonprofit organization, Breaking the Chain, is buying books for all of the classrooms in three high-need elementary schools in the Denver area. I’m looking forward to delivering those in the fall! I’m currently putting together my speaking schedule for the school year, so I’ll keep you updated.

KIPP Sunshine Peak Academy and Other News
Hi All!
I apologize for the lack of posting of late. Things have been busy, as usual :) - I've been in full writing mode working on the second book of my YA trilogy, as well as dealing with the commitments of my nonprofit, Breaking the Chain (and of course, schoolwork).
On Friday, February 12th, I visited KIPP Sunshine Peak Academy in Denver, Colorado, and spoke to four different classes of six graders there. KIPP is a great school and the kids were so interested and engaging! I loved being able to talk to them and to hopefully inspire them to do great things! Here are some pictures of the event:
I also have some more events coming up - I will be speaking at Denver Venture School on Wednesday, 2/17, Lewis Palmer Middle School on Friday, 2/19, and Kent Denver School, 3/1.
In other news, Breaking the Chain, my nonprofit for literacy, is launching a new program called Bookin'It. We're putting books into classrooms and in the hands of elementary and middle school students. KIPP was a recipient of our book donations, but we currently have 20 classrooms requesting books. There is an incredible need! It costs only $250 to "adopt a classroom" and provide them with the books that they need. If you can help or would like to learn more, please visit out website at www.linkbylink.org. Anything helps!
Until next time,
Riley
