Halloween will be here in 2 weeks! Wednesday's Wisdom: Get your cards, invitations + gifts NOW!


They're baacccccck! A number of my annual Halloween "guests" (figurines)* have returned to my armoire for the upcoming 2018 holiday. You can see some them on the top shelf, where a bride and groom are in the midst of rehearsing for a vow renewal ceremony as the wedding-renewal party (surrounding them) oversees the event which is scheduled to take place on Halloween night.

The "folks" on the bottom shelf plan to attend the ceremony in their Halloween costumes and are currently comparing notes as to who is wearing the most ingenious costume.

And this is how my visitors are preparing for Halloween! What about you, dear reader? Do you have plans to send greetings to those near and dear to you or to host a soirée?

If so, I have (on Fine Art America), the PERFECT greeting card which also works well as an invitation. Check it out:

AVAILABLE VIA FAA

Additionally, if you plan to give someone a gift as a Halloween treat, my book, Words In Our Beak Volume Two, is a perfect solution! This is because it includes a story on how Halloween decor impacts the lives of the avian community (some of this can be seen in the pictures of pages from this book that are directly below).

A COUPLE OF PAGES FROM VOL 2


All the volumes of Words In Our Beak make for a great gift to bird lovers at anytime, but since Halloween is upon us, I'm suggesting this one.

ADDENDUM SEPTEMBER AND OCTOBER 2021:

When the third volume of the hard-cover version of Words In Our Beak was released, I withdrew from promoting my former versions of Words In Our Beak. 

The very first one is an iBook and went into Apple's book store in 2015.


This was followed by an ePub version...


..that is available on Amazon and was also published in 2015.

Subsequently, Words In Our Beak's digital versions were published as a soft-cover book (with slight variations) by MagCloud in 2017.


Its press release can be read by clicking here.  [The press release does note my Kindle version of the digital Words In Our Beak, but I withdrew it from Amazon a few years ago and at this time, I do not intend to make it live again.]

Now with the release of BIRD TALES....


... I've been advised to make mention of my early versions of volume one of Words In Our Beak, they do vary ever so slightly in content from the hard-cover version of volume one.

As of this addendum, I do not intend to create digital or soft-cover versions of Words In Our Beak Volume Two or Words In Our Beak Volume Three.
