Update 7/24/07:    My thanks to those of you who attended the Mendocino Street Fair.  It was fun checking out the various crafts by so many creative and talented people.  The day provided us a little bit of frizzle (fog & drizzle) but it never put a damper on the spirit of all who attended.  For those of you who purchased my book, I look forward to your reviews.  Please email curleyandfriends@yahoo.com.  I sure would like to hear from Mrs. Crutchfields pre-k class!
==================================================
Hello Friends - I am so thrilled to announce my second book-signing event!
Event:  8th Annual Mendocino Street Fair
Where: Heider Field, Little Lake street - Mendocino Village - Northern California
When:  Saturday, July 21 from 10 am - 4 pm

Come have a great time and check out the Mendocino arts.  Delight in the beautiful northern coastal surroundings!  The fair is produced by "Creative Works", a small group of independent artists who volunteer to create a venue for artists and craftspeople to market their work.  Fair proceeds are donated to the Mendocino Park & Recreation District.  Make this a stop during your vacation this summer!

P.S.  My beautiful cousin, Helen Thacker (DBA "Cloud Nine Designs") will also have a booth beside mine.  She makes gorgeous one-of-a-kind, stylish, textured, colorful, practical and affordable women's handbags and totes you can use for all occasions.  They make wonderful gifts!  - You'll have to visit the fair to see her bags.

This is where Curley and Friends will share your book review of Carmen's first book, "Curley, Swirley & Twirley's Pleasure Treasure Adventure" with the world. Your review may one day be published in another edition of the book or within the pages of Curley and Friends next adventure book!  

Send in your review - write to:  curleyandfriends@yahoo.com  (Try to keep it under 100 words!)

To date, Carmen has received many fantastic verbal reviews from friends, family and co-workers and neighbors.  We are still waiting for someone to please send Carmen a written review.  Will you be the first?

Carmen's brother Robert:  "It was good, it rhymes but I really think you could have been funnier and forget the lessons . . ."
Carmen's brother George: "Don't despair, all those I gave your book to are giving rave reviews!"
Other reviews heard by Carmen (names omitted for lack of permission to publish): 
- "Great illustrations, you did them yourself?"
- "My 2 daughters enjoyed it very much and identify with Curley, Swirley & Twirley"
- "I really enjoyed your book, Carmen"
- "Wow, I like the rhyming, the pace is different".
- "When is the sequel coming?"
