Goose Gets a Companion?
Fresh from a book event and television interview in York, author Eric D. Goodman took a bit of a break from everyday life to go on a writing retreat.
This time, it was a trip to the town of Sainte-Adele in Quebec, Canada. While there in the mountains, the area got the heaviest snowfall of the year. Rushing riverside locale, steaming hot tubs and Finnish sauna, snow-topped evergreens blowing in the wind, a comfortable rocking chair next to a crackling fireplace … the perfect setting for writing a new childrens’ book set in a cold climate.
Artist Nataliya A. Goodman is at work illustrating the new book, and a solid draft is completed. It may be a few years before the new book sees a book shelf, but in the meantime, there’s always the current book!
Flightless Goose is available for purchase now at www.RunGoose.com, Amazon.com, and at bookstores.
Or, if you want it personally inscribed and autographed, feel free to shoot us an email at www.RunGoose.com.

Goose Goes to Formal Charity Ball
The Flightless Goose has been known to play ball, but on Thursday, November 19, he will sport a black tie and attend his first formal ball. That’s because Flightless Goose is one of the features of the Buddy Project’s Charity Ball: Underwater Fantasea.
The black tie event will be held at Ceresville Mansion in Frederick, Maryland, from 6:30 to 11:00 p.m. on November 19. The ball includes a cocktail hour, gourmet dinner, and live music by 23 Days Rewind — a band that plays a blend of 80’s and 90’s alternative and today’s electronica. The band has opened for Modern English, Violent Femmes, and members of Fuel.
The night’s agenda features an auction of collectables such as autographed jerseys, helmets, posters and footballs that boast the signatures of Baltimore Ravens and Washington Redskins football players like Chris Cooley, Clinton Portis, Joe Flacco, Santana Moss and others, as well as an autographed copy of Flightless Goose, a full-color, the hardcover story book for children.
In addition to the copy donated for the auction, author Eric D. Goodman and illustrator Nataliya A. Goodman will be selling and signing copies of Flightless Goose at the ball from 6 to 8 p.m. and proceeds from the sales will benefit the Buddy Project.
The Buddy Project is a 501(c)3 that provides refurbished computers to help close the digital divide for people with disabilities.
Eric Zimmerman established The Buddy Project in October of 2007, soliciting used computers from colleges, universities, and high schools. To date he has put 125 refurbished computers in to service, and this year will expand to offer computer training with the help of grant funding from the Ausherman Family Foundation.
Flightless Goose is the perfect book to partner with The Buddy Project because it teaches important lessons about dealing with disability, focusing on positive strengths, and treating others with respect and dignity. The book is fun for children and it educates as it entertains.
Flightless Goose is available in book stores, at www.Amazon.com, and at www.RunGoose.com, where you can see some of the illustrations and read more about the exciting new book destined to become a classic.
But why not meet the author and artist in person and get your autographed copy inscribed to the children on your holiday gift list — and help The Buddy Project in their mission to make a difference at the same time.
The formal ball takes place on November 19 from 6:30 to 11 p.m. at the Ceresville Mansion in Frederick, Maryland. Individual tickets are $50 and full tables are $400. The Buddy Project’s goal is to raise $5,000 and to distribute 150 computers. Tickets can be purchased at: www.thebuddyproject.net/ball.

Two Ways to Get Your Goose (And Help Charities)
International Gallery Event and Formal Charity Ball Offer Two Ways to Help Charities and Get Your Goose
With the holidays approaching, many people are already making their gift purchases. If you have a child on your holiday gift list, or someone who is young-at-heart, why not give them something special: an autographed, personally inscribed copy of Flightless Goose?
Flightless Goose is a full-color, hardcover story book for children. The book teaches important lessons about dealing with challenges, focusing on positive strengths, and treating others with respect and dignity. It’s fun for children and educates as it entertains.
The book has been compared to Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and The Ugly Duckling in that it is a classic “underdog story” about a goose who is made fun of as a misfit, but who ends up gaining the respect of peers in the end. A portion of the proceeds will help provide warm sleepwear and nurturing books to children in need through a partnership with The Pajama Project, endorsed by Oprah and Parenting Magazine.
It has been featured on the front page of the Baltimore Messenger and Towson Times and also in such periodicals as the Baltimore Sun, Los Angeles Times, Abilities Magazine, Acreage Magazine, The Potomac, The Hearing Review, Agri Digest, Automotive Industry Magazine, Pen In Hand, and Diversity Rules. The book was also featured at last year’s Festival of Trees and this year’s BookExpo America.
Flightless Goose is available in book stores, at http://www.amazon.com/, and at http://www.rungoose.com/, where you can see some of the illustrations and read more about the book.
But there are more interesting ways to get your goose. Here are two:
Sunday, November 15 from 2 to 5 p.m. at the Watermark Gallery
Flightless Goose is featured as part of this multi-cultural art event at the Watermark Gallery. The event features original artwork of local, national, and international artists including the Watermark’s resident artist, Manzar, up-and-coming artists from MICA, and a sampling of international art from around the world — including paintings, sketches, jewelry, ceramics , wearable arts, fiber arts and, of course, childrens’ book art. Eric and Nataliya (the author and illustrator) will be signing copies of Flightless Goose at this event. Stop by for a free sampling of international cuisine, wine, art, and a chance to get your goose. The event is free and open to the public.
The Watermark Gallery is located in the Bank of America Center Skywalk Level, right across from the Inner Harbor, at 100 S. Charles Street, Baltimore, Maryland. The phone number is (410) 547-0452.

Goose Gets Glowing Review in The Potomac
Flightless Goose got a glowing review in the most recent issue of The Potomac.
The Potomac is a popular literary journal of “poetry and politics” that regularly features short fiction and book reviews. The summer 2009 issue features a positive review from YA author Paul Lagasse.
The review says, “… Flightless Goose is appropriately simple without being simplistic, and its lessons -- that challenges can be overcome, that being different doesn’t mean being less of a person, and that everyone has something they are good at -- are important ones for the intended audience of children 4 to 8 years old. The story is told in a way that is likely to be appealing and exciting to younger children without being condescending to older ones.”
Paul Lagasse and The Potomac have good things to say about Nataliya’s artwork …
“Natalya's watercolors of the lightly anthropomorphized geese (they play ball, skip rope, and wear clothes and shoes) are vibrant and detailed, and her style evokes the illustrations from the classic editions of fairy tales and nursery rhymes that many parents will remember from when they were children.”
… and Eric's writing …
“Eric’s words are well-chosen and presented in a friendly font that frequently undulates and trickles in time with the ups and downs of the story. The word choice and presentation will encourage younger readers to expand their vocabularies without missing the key meanings, and will also satisfy older and more skilled readers.”

Goose Author Published in Smile, Hon!
Flightless Goose author Eric D. Goodman is smiling because his fiction has been published in the latest issue of Smile, Hon, You’re In Baltimore!
For a little literary zine, it packs a big punch. Smile, Hon, You’re In Baltimore! has gotten rave reviews from UTNE Reader, Urbanite and Pop Candy (USA Today’s Blog).
Baltimore Magazine named Smile, Hon, You're in Baltimore! the city's "Best Zine" in its August "Best of Baltimore 2008" issue.
Baltimore City Paper also called Smile Hon Baltimore’s best zine, describing it as “surprisingly fascinating, consistently absurd, and often weird as hell . . . Baltimore at its bizarre best.”
Zine World says Smile Hon “adequately captures Baltimore's grit and glitter, horror and heroes.”
The Johns Hopkins Newsletter says, “Smile Hon revels in Baltimore's every eccentricity”
Even Maryland Mayor Martin O’Malley (how’s that for alliteration?) said that Smile Hon “caused a bit of a stir in my office.”
Eric's story, “Little B & O,” is featured in the latest issue. “Little B & O” is an outtake from TRACKS, his novel in stories. Other authors in issue 11 include Caryn Coyle, Fernando Quijano III, Ben Shaberman, Rosalia Scalia and Alex Hewett.

Inspiring Children in Need
Last week, Flightless Goose had a very special afternoon inspiring children of Gaudenzia at Park Heights. Gaudenzia is a residential for men, women, and women with children.
Flightless Goose author Eric D. Goodman and publisher Shana Johnson visited the shelter to share the story book with the children of Gaudenzia's daycare facility. After reading the book to the children, each child got a free Flightless Goose pencil and animal-eraser head. A copy of the book was autographed and donated to the facility’s daycare library.

Goose a Hit at Catonsville Book Festival
Last weekend, book aficionados and lovers of literature celebrated Catonsville Library’s 4th Annual Book Festival. The event kicked off with an Authors’ Wine and Cheese Reception.
Flightless Goose was one of the featured books at the event.
There were more than a dozen featured authors, including yours truly. There were even more bottles of wine than authors, more cheeses than wine, and more books than anything else! It made for an exciting Friday night.
Surrounded by books, with live music in the background, fans and authors mingled over wine and cheese and books. All of the featured authors had books for sale at the library desk (and copies of Flightless Goose flew off the shelves). Proceeds from the event benefit Catonsville High School’s Ellipsis Literary Magazine, the Catonsville Library, and the Dictionary Projects of the Rotary Club of Catonsville-Sunrise.

CityLit Festival Features Flightless Goose
Baltimore has long been known as "The City that Reads." And it is true that there is a thriving literary community in city. If you need evidence of this (or just want to have a great day), look no further than this Saturday’s CityLit Festival VI.
If you love books and literature, you won’t want to miss the CityLit Festival at the Enoch Pratt Free Library, 400 Cathedral Street. You’ll have the chance to see last year’s winner of the Pulitzer Prize in Literature, Junot Diaz, and last year’s National Book Award for Poetry winner Mark Doty. There are sessions on what’s becoming of our book culture, lifelong literature — too much to mention here! Plus, exhibitors will be showing off their books, literary journals, services, and all things bookish in the exhibitors’ hall all day long.
Flightless Goose Author Eric D. Goodman and illustrator Nataliya A. Goodman will be there for a session on “first books, new authors,” and Flightless Goose will be in the exhibitor’s hall all day. There really is something for everyone!
Hope to see you there. If you love books, it’s a great way to “get lit” this Saturday.

Where in the World are the Goodmans and the Goose?
Where are the Goodmans and the Goose? Back in Baltimore for the moment. But last week, they spent a bit of time migrating north, to Stamford, Connecticut for a reading.
While in Stamford, they enjoyed a bit of sight seeing. There was the Stamford Cone, a sort of artistic beacon of colored light, a tall cone of stained glass that you can actually go inside. In daylight, the sun shines in; at night, lights inside shine out and the cone glows in warm hues.
The murals at Norwalk City Hall were interesting. And the Hoyt-Barnum House, a historic home built in 1699 and made in part of clay and animal hair. The First Presbeterian Church, shaped a bit like a ship, had some interesting stained glass.
But now the Goodmans and the Goose are back in the Baltimore area, ready for some readings closer to home!

Once again, Flightless Goose author Eric D. Goodman's work has been published in Writers Weekly — the world’s most popular writing eZine. In fact, Writers Weekly has more subscribers than any other freelance-writing eZine in history.
The latest issue features his article, “Go Back to School to Sell Your Story.”
In the article, he gives tips on an innovative way writers can bring attention to their work. If you have a published book that has lessons to teach to children, then contact local schools to see if you can visit and present your book (and the lessons taught within) to the students.
It’s a great way to bring your work to a new audience in a positive way — and to build what can become your fan base of tomorrow.

Where in the World are the Goodmans and the Goose?
This year, the Goodmans and the Goose have beat Matt Lauer to the punch with their own installment of Where in the World!
Eric and Nataliya Goodman are just back from a lovely week in London, and Flightless Goose went along for the ride. That’s right — the Goose has gone global!
Hocking the book to international audiences was fun, but just as exciting to the Goodmans were some of the amazing sights London: The overwhelming British Museum, the beautiful National Gallery and National Portrait Gallery. We enjoyed the changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace and took a look at the Queen’s Gallery. The Victoria and Albert Museum was amazing.
They toured Windsor Castle, Apsley House, the Wallace Collection, Sir John Soan House, Kensignton Palace and even took high tea at The Orangery on the Kensington grounds.
Of course they saw Big Ben and Parliament, Westminster Abby and St. Paul’s Cathedral, Wellington Arch, the Jewel Tower, and spent several hours with the Beefeaters in Tower of London.
And how could a writer not visit the British Library with handwritten notes and manuscripts of Shakespeare, Oscar Wilde, Jane Austin, Handle, Beethoven, and even The Beatles? Not to mention 221 Baker Street.
They enjoyed a ride through the Cotswolds, dined in an old pub in Andover, saw the giant chalk horse in the mountains, and strolled around Stonehenge.
Of all these marvels, some of the most enjoyable times were those spent on streets with locals, relaxing on leather couches in English pubs, and cruising along the Thames as the sights passed us by.
It has all passed by, but the memories of London will linger. Perhaps long enough to form a travel story …

The Goose Has Arrived
For some time, the most common question about Flightless Goose was this: when will the books be arriving?
That’s because Flightless Goose was temporarily out of stock. And due to a series of mishaps with the printer, there was little the author, artist, or the publishers could do to get it back in stock any faster.
Friends, buyers, and members of the press who had asked for review copies were all cornering the Goodmans and the pubisher with constant questions, each one the same: when can we get our copy of the book?
We're relieved to report that the answer is NOW! At last, Flightless Goose is in stock, available at www.RunGoose.com, www.Amazon.com, and at other book sellers — both online and at brick and mortar stores across the nation.
But they’re going fast! So get your copy before they fly off the shelf!
Just go to www.RunGoose.com for your copy of Flightless Goose!

Goose Goes To School
It looks like the Towson Times was right when they wrote that Flightless Goose “has lessons to teach.” Flightless Goose proved it last week with a day full of lessons for elementary school kids.
That’s because Gilbert was invited for a full-day of readings, lessons, and discussions about the book, Flightless Goose, at Meadow Hall Elementary School in Montgomery County.
Author Eric D. Goodman and Illustrator Natailya A. Goodman arrived to find their names in lights on the marquee in front of the school, a prime parking spot reserved for them, and a warm welcome from the principal, secretary, reading specialist, and teachers. Then, they got to work – having fun and sharing their book and message.
Flightless Goose was presented to each grade (K-5) followed by age-appropriate discussions, lessons, and activities. They talked about such lessons from the book as treating others with respect and dignity, not making fun of others, everyone having potential regardless of differences, and not playing near roads. With older kids, we also discussed what it was like to be an author and artist.
The children were enthusiastic, attentive, and really latched onto the book and the messages. They were mesmerized by the pictures and fervently talked about the book and what they liked about it and learned from it.
The adults seemed excited about the event too. Here’s what the principal had to say to his “shout out” on the Principal’s Page newsletter after the event: “We are very pleased and excited about the opportunity MHES had to meet and work with Mr. Eric D. Goodman and Mrs. Nataliya A. Goodman, author and illustrator of the Flightless Goose. Throughout the day, all students attended workshops that gave them the chance to read, write, illustrate, and reflect on what it means to be a good writer. Thank you to Mrs. Moser for arranging this wonderful day for our students.”

In their newsletter, the Meadow Hall PTA described the event as “extremely exciting” They went on to say, “There is no better way to get the kids excited about reading and writing than to hear from the author directly.”

Although the Goodmans and the goose have done readings and events before, such as the Festival of Trees, this was their first day-long, in-school event. After an exhilarating day, they're ready for the next one.
Learn more about the school event by visiting the brochure Meadow Hall’s reading specialist, Marlene Moser, put together.
