Music Mysteries

Hi,

A few updates from this week:

Reach and Teach in San Mateo had its Grand Opening this weekend. And The Paganini Curse is available there in the YA section.

I’ve been doing a few Open Mics lately and found this article on the CWC Fremont Area Writers Club web site to be helpful.

I’ve been visiting local music schools to let folks know about The Paganini Curse. It’s exciting to see all the students so interested in learning about classical music.

Regards,

Giselle

The Paganini Curse is available online at Amazon and Barnes & Noble. 

Hi,

I’ll be reading from The Paganini Curse at an Open Mic sponsored by the SF/Peninsula Bay California Writer’s Club on Wed. in San Mateo. The location is the Reach & Teach, 144 West 25th Avenue, San Mateo (formerly The Dove & Olive Works.)

The Open Mic starts at 7:30, and there will be 7-8 authors reading about 10 minutes each.

Hope you have a chance to stop by and hear these Bay Area writers.

Thanks, Giselle

Hi,

“The Paganini Curse” is in the Mountain View Public Library.  Very exciting!

“The Paganini  Curse” was also featured in the New Title Showcase at the 2013 Book Expo America in New York City this weekend. This is a great opportunity to get exposure with the 20,000+ attendees of the event. Visit the online catalog and search on Author  = Stancic.

In June, I’ll be a doing a book reading at the CWC SF/Peninsula Chapter Open Mic on June 19 in San Mateo. I’ll post more details closer to the date.

Thanks!

Very fun with a big audience and great group of authors. There are still a few signed copies of The Paganini Curse at the store if you couldn’t make it to the event.

Thanks, Hicklebee’s!

Hi,

Thank you,

Hi,

My Open Mic reading from The Paganini Curse has been rescheduled to next month. I’ll send out more details closer to the date.

The Paganini Curse is available now at Hicklebee’s Bookstore in Willow Glen. Hicklebee’s is a great independent bookstore with books for the whole family.

I’ll be doing a book signing at Hicklebee’s on May 20. I’ll talk a bit about The Paganini Curse and read from the novel.

Best, Giselle

The Paganini Curse is available online at Amazon and Barnes & Noble. 

Last night I did a book reading at the Barnes & Noble in San Jose/Almaden as part of the CWC South Bay Open Mic Series. The feedback was very positive and folks particularly liked the historical setting of the book and Aurora’s “inquisitive” personality. I’ll keep you posted as other readings come up in the future.

I’ll also be exhibiting “The Paganini Curse” at BookExpo America in NYC in late May as part of the New Title Showcase.

All exciting stuff with more to come!

Thanks for dropping by.

Hi,

I had the opportunity to talk about The Paganini Curse at my CWC South Bay Writers Club meeting. (I’m in the blue shirt.)

My news announcement about publishing The Paganini Curse and  Final Adagio winning the Grand Prize at the San Francisco 2013 Writers Conference Contest also appeared in the club newsletter, April Accolades p. 5.

The Paganini Curse has been added to the public library YA collections in Mountain View, CA, Burlingame, CA, and Lewiston, ID. As a former public librarian, I think this is very cool.

Book sales on Amazon and Barnes & Noble continue to go up for both print and ebook copies of The Paganini Curse. Teens and adults are enjoying the book. If you’ve had a chance to read The Paganini Curse, please consider submitting a review on Amazon or another review site.

Best, Giselle
