IFWG at Megacon

Friday, February 17th marked the start of the first big event for IFWG Publishing, MegaCon 2012. Peak attendance reached 185,000 on Saturday with standing room only capacity in the extremely large Orlando, Florida event center. Lines stretched around the outside of the building and people were turned away and the doors were closed due to overcrowding. 

IFWG Publishing was well represented by staff and authors, including one artist, John Powers. The following are some shots from the event:

Brumbies on Display at Monaro Books

Paula Boer (author) and Rowena Evans (illustrator) have been busy promoting their new children's novel, Brumbies, in their home town (Cooma, NSW, Australia).

Here the proprietor of Monaro Books and Music, allowed them to set up a window display. They did a wonderful job of it, and notice that Rowena supplied original illustrations from the books, beautifully framed.

It was a sunny day, so there was a bit of reflection on two of these shots, but you can certainly get the idea here.

Best wishes for lots of sales in your home town!

 

 

The Okapi Promise Being Marketed

Paula Boer, had already acquired merchandise (including t-shirt) for her new novel, Brumbies, but decided that they looked so good, she would have a t-shirt made of her last novel, The Okapi Promise - an exciting travel adventure primarily set in various locales in Africa.

IFWG Publishing agrees - it sure looks good!
