Bridgefest

 

Houghton, Michigan​

R.Aveen loved being part of this local annual event celebrating the 65th anniversary of the Portage Lake Lift Bridge. Despite the cold weather, she had a great time meeting new people and enthusiastic readers.

 

R.Aveen was thrilled when both a 13-year-old boy and a 72-year-old woman dropped by separately to say she is one of their favourite authors!

​

It was awesome to finally meet the boy who, when 12, read the book in a day and a half, the fastest known time! His mother had come by a stall last year to say how much he loved it, but at Bridgefest he spotted the Animal Listeners stall and came to tell R.Aveen himself. She was SO happy!

Equinox Celebration

 

Facebook Live Event​

To celebrate this special day in the Animal Listener world, R.Aveen hosted her first Facebook Live Event. She read from Chapter 1 - the part where Quinby Awakens, then answered FAQs. 

 

The table wobbled, the video dropped out a bit, and it took her a while to realise the video was live ... but she had a lot of fun!

 

20 March 2025  Thursday 5:01 - 5:30pm EDT, Friday  8:01 - 8:30am AEDT

​

NB This was 12 hours after the actual moment of the equinox as R.Aveen couldn't persuade herself to get up that early!

 

You can check out the video on YouTube below.
