WEW and the WWW

Yesterday I was graced with the words of a five year old little boy.  He said to me "I like Rock n Friend, I didn't know you could make one book two books just like that"

I told that little boy you can do just about anything you want to with books and through his big brown eyes I could almost see the wheels turning inside his head.

It gave new meaning to W's for me, Wide Eyed Wonderment - even more wonderful than the World Wide Web - perhaps someday we will see his WEW on the WWW?

The World Wide Web is an amazing place, bringing so many people together who may never otherwise have a chance to meet, to share, to learn and to express themselves.  Here at Campbell Lawson we began a humble internet launch just last week and have already met so many new and wonderful people.  As the word continues to spread and new visitors stop by we give thanks, oh so appropriate during this week of Thanksgiving.

Look around, click on the book links to learn more about the debut books from Campbell Lawson, published in October 2011.  You can browse, shop and follow this blog to make sure you don't miss any news from Campbell Lawson!

We welcome your thoughts and comments, so sit back, sip your morning coffee or evening tea and stay a while!

Welcome Jenny Matlock Friends

Thanks for stopping by!  Miss Jenny Matlock is, as we all know, a very special person!  Feel free to look around...

These three books were just published October 12th 2011!!  The posts below this one explain the adventure a little bit, but certainly don't do it full justice!

I hope you like what you see, I hope you know someone else that will like what you see and if you have an opportunity to read the books, I hope you take a moment to send an email or come back here and leave a comment!  (wow that's a lot of hoping isn't it?)

I would love to hear from you!

Sincerely,
Campbell Lawson

PS - Don't be shy, you can buy the books right here, just click on each books page or the Shop Now page...(can't blame a gal for a shameless plug can ya?)

When Thanks isn't enough

It was such a long wait, an extraordinary process really...publishing 3 books in less than 10 months.  Finally this weekend, I shared them with the world.

Ok.  Not the world.

But with all the wonderful passers by at the Junior League Holiday Mart in Denver.

I have to admit, I was a bundle of nerves.  I have had so much support from friends and family but that is what friends and family are for right?  So, setting them out, displaying them for anyone to see, to pick up to read...I am at a loss to explain the feelings I had.

I can, however, tell you how I feel now.

Blessed.  Very Blessed.

Perfect strangers read the books.

Perfect strangers laughed, and shared them with their friends.

Perfect strangers got teary eyed as they read the words and related.

Perfect strangers were wonderful.

My favorite moment?  When a 7 year girl walked up and started reading one with her Grandma.  She traced each word with her finger, she sounded them out when she got stuck and she read the book.  I will never, ever forget that moment.

So I say thank you, to all the perfect strangers and to my friends and family.  Though, a thank you will never be enough.

Two down, One to go...

It was a big day for Campbell Lawson, a really big day...

The day the big truck showed up

and delivered big boxes

full of this book

and this book

Guess what that means?  We are almost ready for an official book launch - exciting things are coming in the next couple of weeks!!

Coming soon to a website near you

We are just a few short weeks away from the debut of each new book!  Somebody, Whereditgo and Rock n Friend!  With lots of fun marketing joining them in their launch!  You can pre-order now by clicking on the book links above - or just wait for all the fun to begin

your choice.

Personally, I hate waiting.

Ship Dates and more

What an exciting time!  Somebody is with the printer and we are anxious to see the final proofs!  Whereditgo? will be right behind Somebody and finally Rock n Friend will follow very shortly after that!

I am starting to think about shirts, and bookmarks and other fun marketing things!  Gotta do something to keep me busy or the anticipation is likely to take me down!

This site has been live now for several months, but not really public - as I have been keeping it under wraps until we closer to the unveiling...so if you are reading this you are one of very few but that is about to change...

Stay Tuned -

Creating my own delays!

How dare I right?  I am pushing, pushing, pushing Buster York to finish the illustrations and all the while I am asking him for logo art for marketing purposes.

At this rate he may never get done, AHEM...not an option, of course!

I have a secret...

I found someone amazing that I might do my shirts with and I am so excited.  It is far to early to put out the details but I promise you will find out here first!

The books are do out in mid September and I gotta tell you I can not wait another day.
