“The Vikings Were Back,” is now at the publishers.

 I have the option of hard bound with a coil spine.  The coil spine will be covered with the hard back cover.

 I also have the option for a heavy paper back copy that is perfect bound.

The book will be available after the first week of April.  I will be reading the first copy in classes on April 1st.

If you would like a hard back book it will cost $20.

If you would like a paper back it will cost $15.

Thanks to my wife Cassie Wicks at Sugar Beets Photography for taking the photos for the book.  Thanks to my kids who helped by posing for the pictures.  Thanks also to the Junction City Scandinavian Festival for the great atmosphere to take the pictures in.

Have a wonderful Easter week, and I hope to hear from you all soon.

Here is a picture of me reading in a class last year. I would love to see some captions before I go and read again this year. I am going to many classrooms on the first week of April. Have fun with this one everyone.

Thanks and have an awesome week!

I will have the opportunity during the first week in April to visit schools and read in the classroom.  It is fun to see the eyes of the children as you are reading your story to them.  The immediate feedback that they can give can be so awesome.  I am currently booked up for the first week of April, but I will be reading in classrooms again in May.  If you would like to have me at your school, feel free to contact me.  I am available at http://www.facebook.com/MatthewJWicks, and at http://www.goodreads.com/TurtleDude.
