Richard Trout

Trout is ready to go back to Budget Author Visits for the school year to assist schools who have lost their budget or had it significantly lowered. Contact the author at richard@richardtrout.com to discuss this significantly lowered fee. You will be pleased for sure. Most of you will be shocked!!! Boys and girls are waiting to read these adventures and don’t even know it yet.

This past summer of rest was much needed.  Eclipse of the Jaguar, #7 in the MacGregor Family Adventures was finished last spring and sent to the publisher.  However, it won’t be out until 2010.  Seems the entire publishing industry is in a downward spiral right now.  In fact, it may be released in soft cover with a lower price.  That would be a good thing for readers who like to buy their own copies.  So this summer was spent by the pool every day, reading new books and research for the next adventure in Australia and healing up a damaged back from a not so adventurous fall on the ice in front of Hefner Middle School, Putnam City Schools.  The swimming is important to get everything back in shape for the strenuous dives on the Great Barrier Reef in 2010.

Richard had a great time seeing teachers and librarians at Encyclo-Media 08 in Oklahoma City. He was in the booth hosted by Best of Books, Edmond, Oklahoma. Best of Books, Edmond, OK, is the place to order autographed copies of any Trout books.

Please read the Teacher/Librarian reference page and schedule your Richard Trout author visit soon.  There is also a page that details fees and other items for a successful visit.  Since Richard is a working professor, he has limited open dates.  Schedule early to get the date that is best for your school. He has one of the most popular author programs for middle school kids that you’ll find anywhere. Read the letters and you will see!  Professor Trout received the President’s Award for Excellence in Teaching and you’ll see why when he visits your school and shares his story with your kids.

A great visit.
