Name of Your School / Library / Organization:
I'm a Northern California native. Moved to Los Angeles in the 80s to pursue a career in televsion. Did that for 25 or so years (Murphy Brown, Mad About You, Cybill, Becker, Drew Carey, St. Elsewhere... among many other stinkers), but found that what I really wanted to do was write books. So I did. The first is called The Wheel of Nuldoid. For young adults and up. I have two young sons, Henry and Joe. And the book was written for them, to them. Joe, when he was ten, gave me notes after reading one of the early manuscripts. He also pitched a great idea for a sequel. We'll see.

Greetings Russ,
I'm Mike McQueen, teacher librarian and founder of http://www.GettingBoysToRead.com. Like many school districts, we are in a financial crises. Our school board recently proposed to eliminate ALL 20+ middle school teacher librarians and also cut all 90+ elementary schools to half time. Since we are the biggest district in all of Colorado, we worry this will cause other districts to follow suit. We launched an online movement and are going to do our best to put up a good fight. If possible, please visit our Facebook page and "Like" us http://www.facebook.com/SupportSchoolLibraries . Adding a positive comment and sharing with your friends would help our morale as well. The board finalizes the budget soon so your timely support would be greatly appreciated!
Sincerely,
Mike McQueen
