Signing my books at Visit Denver today!

I'm off to the Visit Denver shop on the 16th Street Mall to sign a few of my Moon Denver guidebooks! I'm so thrilled that my books are being sold at this location because it is so popular with tourists who are in there to learn more about our fabulous city in the first place. Send your friends and family down to buy one today--it will be signed by the author, me!

Family fun at Denver Center Theatre

I am so excited to go to the next Family Fun day at the Denver Center Theatre Academy down at the Denver Center for the Performing Arts Complex! I just learned of this through a friend, so I will be checking it out to share more details with my Moon Denver guidebook readers soon. OK, not until early March. Basically, a few times a year they offer a free day of activities--trapeze, anyone? How about Shakespeare?--for families interested in theatrical life. Reservations are required so go to www.denvercenter.org to find out details and make your plans too.

Denver's stock show

Today is the last day of Denver's annual National Western Stock Show and Rodeo! In Denver this means an official end to the holiday season when the public holiday lights displays come down and Santa is put away. I just love seeing friends post photos of their little ones dressed up as mini cowgirls and cowboys to go check out the Stock Show, or hearing about their "mutton bustin'" days. We enjoyed the parade up 17th St. this year and we had a bit of excitement when one of the longhorn steers tried to walk backwards as they turned from Wynkoop Street up 17th, but the cowboys did their job and kept it all going smoothly. Get contact details from my Moon Denver guidebook!

Meet the Big Blue Bear in Denver

Like the cover of my Moon Denver guidebook? Then get out in downtown Denver today so you can meet the fuzzy version of the Big Blue Bear (which I also wrote about in the pages of my guidebook). If you are on Facebook, go to this link:

and become a fan of Visit Denver to learn more about this and other local happenings.

Farewell Frolick!

This morning I headed off for a little shopping in Highland Square and was shocked to find that Frolick went out of business! I included Frolick in the pages of my Moon Denver guidebook and would take out-of-towners there for shopping. I could always find something there--a summer skirt, easy t-shirt or special dress--and the owner was so wonderful with helpful ideas and tips. What a loss. Well, don't let it keep you from the area because I saw some cute tops at Dragonfly and I'm probably going back to the Max outlet store for a sweater!

Visit Denver in 2010!

It's my first blog post of 2010 and I have many things to share! This blog should soon be linking to my author page on Amazon.com so people who just shopping for a Denver guidebook can learn even more about me and my book and how it's kept updated on this blog. I'll be posting more shortly.
