YA Eco Mysteries, Memoirs, Novels & Travel
Moss Rock Festival 2013
The mellow autumn weather, fascinating art and fresh local food, all in a beautiful outdoor setting, drew thousands of visitors to the Moss Rock Festival. Children—of all ages—enjoyed creating art out of recycled materials, hiking in the gorgeous nature preserve, chatting with the artists, and just basking in the relaxing ambience of the festival. What more could visitors ask for?

As an exhibitor at Fresh Air Family, founded by Verna Gates, I so enjoyed meeting children and demonstrating how we include videos in my eco mystery series, The Adventures of The Sizzling Six. The visitors were fascinated by the embedded videos in the printed books.
