You guys are awesome.  I had a great time, and hope you did too.  Hope to see you again soon.

Cheerio’s!

Sorry for being away for so long.  Business has been slow, economy…

ANYWAY!  I just want to thank those who still want “The Great Willow” to continue on.

A few notes: I will be reading at Beverly Hills Elementary this friday afternoon (3/5/10).  Very excited to get back to it.  Also, a bit of surprising news… The Wonder of Reading is sponsoring The Great Willow.  If you don’t know what the Wonder of Reading is, please take the time to visit their website: www.wonderofreading.org
They are a not for profit organization who build libraries in elementary schools that can’t afford them.  A most noble cause.  I will be booking four schools with them this spring and look to your support for the “Willow” and the “Wonder…”

I’m looking to a bright future for Wolfpup and Duckling.

Keep in touch!

Cheers! Michael

You made my day! Thanks for being involved and interested in the great willow! You guys rock!

Hope you had a great time! 

Cheerio’s,Michael

Just a few reviews that are floating around. Go to Amazon, search BOOKS, The Great Willow and read the reviews! Here is one posted by an 8 year old!

“The Great Willow” is about a wolf pup. One day she wanted to have an adventure and so she asked Mama Wolf if she could go to the big farm house. Mama Wolf said no because it’s forbidden to wolves. Wolf Pup went anyways. When she got there she saw a little creature; it was a duckling. The two then set off to chase all their dreams.

In their adventure, Wolf Pup and Duckling make new friends on their way. The friends all helped them get to where they were going, which was to The Great Willow. Duckling was afraid of water and at one point they had to cross a river. The two friends, Beaver and Turtle, helped them across. Wolf Pup got on top of Beaver and Duckling rode on Turtle to get across the water.

“The Great Willow” by Michael Starr is a good story for anybody who likes adventures. This is a really good adventure book and the animal characters were fun.

Check out the rest at Amazon.com!

Cheers!

The Great Willow took Honorable Mention amongst hundreds of children’s books at the HW book festival. One small step for the independent author! I would also like to thank Blair and her crew at Totz Only for the great time we had on Saturday’s reading! I will be setting up another reading during their story time events sometime in September…I’ll keep you posted! Aaaand, last but not least…Six Flags was a great time. I will be planning another event sometime in late August. I’ll keep you all posted on that as well. Anyway, got to run! Have fun!
