Towpath Tales
Authors Jack and Judith Woods have written a series of historical juvenile novels about life on the Erie Canal in the mid-19th century, and are using their web site not only to reach a broad audience for their books, but to make contacts with libraries, museum book shops, schools, and canal festival planners to plan appearances, such as book-talks and signings.
These books are a great read (I know, because I read the first book to my son one chapter a night at bedtime, and every day he asked me if we could read two chapters instead of one), so please visit their web site at TowpathTales.com.
