THERE IS NO CHARGE TO BE LISTED on this blog, however... I do ask for a reciprocal link. (To my own website, www.kimnormanbooks.com, not this author-by-state site. Why invite competition on your own site, right?)
MY DEFINITION OF "TRADITIONALLY PUBLISHED"... If you're with a publisher you know I'll recognize, (established pros will know) then... not to worry. Write to me and I'll add you. If you have any doubts, rather than haggle over what qualifies as traditional, I'm going to simplify things. CLICK THIS LINK and scroll down to a list of publishers approved by SCBWI to be included in their Publishers Market Survey. If you see your publisher on this list, write to me. If not, then you're with a publisher that's too obscure for you to be added to this site. I'm sorry to make this distinction, but with over 700 links already, I don't want the site to become so unwieldy that it loses its original intent: to save educators time when "shopping" for an author. And... paper books only, please, not e-books.

JOIN A SHOW-BIZ SCIENCE PROJECT


Visiting-author-of-the-day, Vicki Cobb, well-known science author, has created an unprecedented multi-media project that you and your students can join. It combines a book, with YouTube type videos and the Web.

Just for fun, check out these irresistible one-minute videos HERE. The scripts for these videos come from Vicki’s new book: We Dare You! Hundreds Of Fun Science Bets Challenges And Experiments You Can Do At Home. So far, she has made only 25 videos out of a potential 286 in the book. Vicki invites her readers to participate in this project by making videos doing tricks from the book and sending them to her for editing and posting on the web. Downloadable information on how to join this project can be found HERE. She is asking the public to help create a library of videos for teachers to use in the classroom nd families to use at home to get kids interested in science and reading. And if you go the extra step to join the project, your kids not only learn science but get to star in their own little show. It’s a win-win for everyone!

I've used Vicki's books in my own home and at our home school co-op, as well as -- I confess -- checking out her I Face the Wind a dozen times from the library as a mentor text when I was considering writing nonfiction. Her books are superb.

The M-1965 Field Jacket , also known as the m65 jacket is a popular field jacket designed for the U.S. military. The m65 field jacket has been around for many years. It was introduced into US military service in 1965 to replace the M-1951 field jacket, an evolution of a Second World War design, the M-1943 field jacket. The m65 field jacket was widely used by United States troops during the Vietnam War in which the jacket became useful for troops serving in the Central Highlands of South Vietnam, as well as keeping a soldier warm from the cool weather conditions that came after monsoonal rains.
