Educents Sale and a Free eBook!

Amazing Animals by Design is now on sale at Educents!  Normally $14.99, you can get the hardcover version of the book, signed by the author (that's me!), for $9.99!  

I also have a freebie to share with you today from Compass Classroom.  

Just how do you go about teaching such a large and complex book to young children? How do you keep their interest as they grow from kindergarten to upper elementary and older? What if you don’t know that much about the Bible yourself? Although we at Compass Classroom normally produce structured curriculum, this is one area in which we believe a different, more personalized approach is needed. In light of that, we have pulled together a series of resources we think parents can use to achieve the best long-term results with children.

It Makes A Great Christmas Gift!

http://debrahaagen.tateauthor.com/

I am getting ready to do some writing of a more personal nature, my annual Christmas letter.  As I reflect on the year 2012, it has, as for most people, been full of ups and downs. I will, however, remember 2012 as the year I got my first book published!  I hope 2013 will bring more exciting developments. 

If you are looking for a last-minute gift for a child on your Christmas list, Amazing Animals by Design is currently being offered in several stores and retail outlets.  In addition to Tate Publishing, Christian Book Distributors (CBD) now offers both the paperback and PDF versions.  Amazon carries the paperback and the Kindle edition, and Barnes and Noble carries the paperback and the Nook edition.  As of this posting, they all appear to be in stock and available.

The audio version of Amazing Animals by Design is also now available.  It can be purchased by itself from Tate Publishing, but if you purchase a book, there will be a code in the back for a free download of the audio version.

Follow me at http://amazingbydesign.blogspot.com/ to find out some things I've learned about writing and publishing in the past year!

Merry Christmas!

Exciting Adventures in 2013!

http://debrahaagen.tateauthor.com/

A while back, I indicated that I had some exciting things coming up for the new year.  I am putting a few of my involvements on hold for about 6 months to a year - such as directing children's musicals at church and writing reviews for The Schoolhouse Review Crew - although I loved both of those activities very much.  Right now, though, I would like to concentrate on writing and homeschooling.  Some wonderful new opportunities have opened up to me, which I would like to pursue.

First of all, I am working on a follow up to my first book:  Amazing Plants by Design.  If you are a budding author, a wanna-be author, or have just always wondered what the writing/publishing process entails, please follow me at http://amazingbydesign.blogspot.com.  Over there, I give you a glimpse into the step-by-step process.  Join me in the journey, whether I succeed or fail!

Secondly - and I am very excited about this one - I have been working on my first lapbook unit study for Knowledge Box Central.  It is also on Intelligent Design, and I hope to have it released very soon.  When I do, all of my loyal followers on either blog or Facebook will be the first to know!

Have I mentioned that you'll want to be around for DAY ELEVEN of The Schoolhouse Review Crew 12 Days of Christmas Giveaways??

Merry Christmas!
