Hi all!

I just wanted to let everyone know about two things. First, I will be doing a program for the Portsmouth Public Library System here in VA




Now in the process of this tour, I will be telling people just what makes this medium so effective, and why it's taken Hollywood by storm, with everything not nailed down being optioned (and those that are being pried from their housings) and how they can get into the business, and how to create their own book.

It will be a light program, because I think the majority of the audience will be teens, so I won't be going into the minutae of trademark and copyrights, marketing, and all that other stuff. It'll be fun and we'll have a lot of great concepts. As the flyer indicates, a very talented local artist Logan Bennett will be joining me on some of the dates, to handle the art side of things. We'll be doing script to page comparisons and all sorts of stuff!
I really enjoy doing these things, I've done them in the past solo, this will be the first time I have a friend to work with on it, and thus allow me to plan more elaborate things, (have someone with the same mind frame setting up for the next segment as the other is working on theirs) I've done schools and libraries in NC and MI and this will be the first time I've been able to "give back" to my homestate here in Virginia.

When they asked me to do a program I was thrilled and I am really looking forward to getting back on the public speaking bandwagon.

As some of you might know, I have been honored by being given an authors page over at red room.com. My page is hosted here:

http://www.redroom.com/author/danny-donovan

I'm sharing that honor with the likes of Barack Obama, Stephen Colbert, Jon Stewart, etc. (something so wrong about ME being in THEIR company, but I'm not going to fight it! lol)

I am in full on competition mode for a redroom.com housewarming contest. So that means a lot more content on the ol' page, so check back more often I will try to add something new, whether it be an article, a blog, a video, etc. every day or every couple of days, depending on how much is on my plate.

Please view it on a regular basis and enjoy!!!!!
