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.

Goose Gets Guest Spot in Baltimore Sun's Read Street
As a panelist at tomorrow’s CityLit Festival, Flightless Goose author Eric D. Goodman was asked by the editors of the Baltimore Sun’s Read Street to submit a guest column.
In his spot, Goodman wrote about his own history with the CityLit Project — his own introduction to Baltimore’s thriving literary scene. He also talks a bit about his book, Flightless Goose, which is being featured in the exhibitor’s booth all day long, is available at CityLit’s official bookseller, Barnes & Noble, and is one of the “fist books” featured in one of the panel discussions.
The CityLit Project (and the CityLit Festival in particular) is one of the reasons for Baltimore’s lively literary community. If you love literature, you won’t want to miss tomorrow’s day-long event.

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.
