Do you like Celtic music?

A new review just went up for "The Sword of Senack." Here's that link: Live to Read

I'm living in a whirlwind of exciting, exhausting, never-before-dreamed-of moments. I now have five signings lined up for the next four weeks. If these go well, Cade and I have decided that we'll start traveling to other states for signings. Maybe I'll get to meet some of you!

So, the first of these signings is this Friday (from 6-9pm) at Barnes and Noble in Layton, Utah. I'm shocked AND delighted to tell you that Cade and I will be playing Celtic music in the store that night! How awesome is that?! I didn't even know they would allow live music.

And since that seemed like such a great idea, all of the other places are letting us play there as well--even The Read Cat Bookstore!

Tomorrow I'll tell you about my speech at the University of Phoenix, but today I thought it would be fun to show you our music if you haven't heard it before. This is how Cade and I made a living when we were homeless street musicians in Hawaii.



For more info about my signing schedule, please go HERE.

    Loved, loved, loved your music and I am sure others will when you do it live. About the link above, do you know Katherine Corrigan in Syracuse? I have known her for a long time
    and she even designed my web page for The Simple Life, she is also our Avon representative and a sweet gal. Just curious since you will be there on the 18th.
    I am thrilled that you are getting so many signings to do and hope they will keep coming in. Take care on the road and have a great week.

  9. If you come to Florida, come to the World's Most Beautiful Beaches in Panama City! I'd love to have a signed copy of your books.....I generally get them on my Kindle, but I would love to have a hard copy too! Coming to Florida may remind you of Hawaii, but probably not. :)

  12. Great song and great talent! My kids were just kind of running around, doing their own thing. Until I hit play. They all came over to listen and were SO QUIET for those two minutes and 42 seconds. Thanks for that break in the chaos. {:

  23. As everyone has stated you are truly multi talented Pippi. You are going to do great on Friday. I can't wait to take my dad up there to meet you two! Between now and then take care of yourself and get some rest so you will feel up to dealing with any boneheades that come your way. (You know there will be at least one. Duh I'll be there)
    You don't need luck. You'll knock their socks off.

  35. As you very well know, I LOVE Celtic music. That's so awesome that you get to play at the signing. Part of me wishes that I lived near you so I could dance as you played. It might maybe (hopefully) draw more people to your table for the signing. I know solos and dancing on my own aren't my thing, but who knows - may it would help me break out of my shell :)

  44. I loved your intro story it made me take a look at how hard I am on my kids. I had to step back a minute and think about it for a minute, so I think that I am going to try to praise them more and encourage them everday more. God Bless... BTW you and your hubby are really talented.
