Muddy Waters Hits It Big!
Posted April 28 2016
In the fall of 2016, I donated a copy of each of my young adult books to the Alcona Schools Library. The books were Muddy Waters and The Witches of Hibbard Corners. In early March 2016, my publisher forwarded me the following email:
… I am a teacher at Alcona Community Schools in Lincoln, MI. Mr. Cameron dropped off a few of his books at our school last year and they ended up in my middle school library. One of my 7th grade students recently read Muddy Waters and loved the book. He wrote an email to Mr. Cameron and would like to see if it would be possible to get it to him.
Here is the student's email:
Dear Douglas Cameron,
I read one of your books called "Muddy Waters" a couple weeks ago and absolutely loved it. I liked it so much because it was about Alcona county and was kinda near my house. I have even been down the same roads as in the book. I was hoping to read some of your other books and was also wondering if you're ever in the area, maybe you could stop by at my school and talk to us about your books.
When I responded, I got this return email from the teacher:
Keedon will be so excited to hear from you! He couldn't stop talking about your book. For being somewhat of a reluctant reader, it was awesome to see him so excited about a book. We would love to have you into our classroom. We can set up a day in April or May to have you in!
This is just one young person. But that makes my writing of the book worth it.
I have set up a date May 20 to meet with her two classes individually. I will answer questions and read a chapter or two from Angry Waters, the sequel. What's is more, my publisher and I have agreed to have a contest with the students making drawings for the cover of Angry Waters and we will use the best one as the cover.
