So I finally got around to putting up some photos from the performance of Letters to Mozart in Steamboat Springs, Colorado. Check them out in the Show section. This is me with some of my paintings and books before the second performance on Sunday, 6 August 2006.

Any out of town guests planning to attend the August 2006 performances of Letters to Mozart in Steamboat Springs, CO will be happy to know that , no, you don’t have to stay in this roofless cabin on the windy side of Hahn’s Peak!

I just added some helpful lodging information on the “Show” page. Feel free to check it out. The windows of even the cheapest options have glass in them…

Thanks to Gabriel’s web wizardry, the Letters to Mozart Shoppe is open for business! We can now begin taking orders for the book. I should have inventory in the next week or two. But feel free to place your orders now. I will ship the books as soon as I get them. Check out the Shoppe for yourself!

Good news! I received my first copy of Letters to Mozart (the book) from the printer on Friday 26 May. I am so excited. Lulu.com did a very good job printing it. I have been looking at the InDesign file for the last 7 months, & it’s a thrill to hold the real copy in my hands. It looks a lot smaller than when I printed the whole thing out on my desktop printer, because the full bleed pages are all cropped down to the official size (9×7″). The cover is very shiny. I like that. I placed a large order which should arrive in the next week or two, at which time I will be ready to start filling orders for autographed copies. We should have the shoppe open for business here in the next day or two…

In the meantime, if you absolutely can’t wait for a copy of the book, you can purchase it directly from Lulu.com. Just be aware it will not be autographed.

All the copies ordered through this site, however, will be autographed.

How did this happen?!! More art? Yes, so apparently in addition to its dramatic, operatic, orchestral, and literary aspects, Letters to Mozart will also include a gallery show of Mozart-related acrylic paintings on canvas. Against my better judgement, I stopped at my favorite art store one evening, with my husband, and came out with a trunk full of blank, enticing canvases. I have 3 1/2 paintings finished…and lots more to go. This is the first one I did. Stay tuned for a gallery section on this site, where the complete show will be displayed.

(The canvases will be displayed in the lobby of the Steamboat Springs High School, where Letters to Mozart will be performed this summer.)
