My event will be open for TWO Nights - Saturday October 29th form 7:00 to 11:00 AND Monday October 31st (HALLOWEEN) from 7:00 to 10:30 (weather permitting). Thanks for your help!

Hi, Elisheva,

Sorry I'm just answering this now. I don't check this page very often. I wrote four books about biomes, but there are other authors who've written about more biomes in that series.

Best regards,
Linda Tagliaferro - nycLindaT@gmail.com

Hello,

I just purchased the four books in your "biomes" series. They are fantastic. Are you planning on writing books about the four other types of bimoes?

Hi Linda:

I spoke with my client. They are comfortable with me giving a little more detail to contacts about the project.

First, they are the Biotechnology Institute (see: http://www.biotechinstitute.org/index.php). Currently they sell three resources to educators. They would like to increase their offerings to provide educators with more instructional materials from which to choose. Rather than develop materials, they want to act as a point of sales for existing products that are scientifically and pedagogically sound.

Products include any media format from texts to interactive games and from purely informational to kit-based curricula.

My job is to identify and evaluate potential products and find the individual who has the authority to create and maintain an alliance with the Biotechnology Institute for the purpose of selling instructional materials to teachers.

Who should we contact to discuss this partnership? I assume that authors do not usually handle sales and distribution of their books.

Please feel free to call or email me to discuss next steps. Note that I will be out of town on Monday and Tuesday, July 5th and 6th.

Happy 4th of July,

People with Celiac that eat foods containing gluten, their immune systems responds by damaging the villi of the small intestine.When this becomes damaged the body is unable to absorb nutrients that lead to malabsorption and other diseases that can be life threatening.Foods that contain gluten are wheat and other grains that are in everyday foods and medications. My name is Catherine Maffettone and Joe Gannascoli's is my brother-in-law.I along with my 7 year old son and my sister have Celiac Disease.I am the coordinator in recruiting donations. Joe will be dressing up as Santa and we will need to fill his bag with some great gifts for the children! We kindly ask you if you are an author or company if you would be generous enough to donate to Santa's bag for the fundraiser.
