My cover girl's article in Brio Magazine

Posted in Show and Tell Friday

Click the graphic for more S&Ts from Mary!
It's a "birthday" theme for Show and Tell this week! The closest I can come to joining in the fun with that is the fact that this month is my young homeschooling friend's 21st birthday! To honor her (but mostly because it happened to work out that way) I am going to post a picture of the two-page spread the July issue of Focus on the Family's Brio Magazine printed. So, with no further ado, Happy Birthday, Jessica! Brio did a nice job with the article she (and I) wrote over a year ago (these things take time to get published). Jessica, at 16 years old, portrayed my main character, Andi, a 12-year-old. Another trivia fact: Jessica was the first youngster to read my Andi stories, so it seems fitting that she should be on the cover.
Happy Birthday, Jessica!

It's probably best that the print is too small to read. I'd no doubt get in real trouble for posting this otherwise. As it is, it's an advertisement for Brio, so how can they object to that? Go on over to your local Christian bookstore and pick up a copy if you'd like to know what the article says.

My daughter loves Brio magazine. Unfortunately, the subscription ran out and we haven't been able to renew it. However, I think we might just have to wander over to the book store to pick up a copy. The article looks wonderful!

This is awesome!! I'm not familiar w/Brio. Is it for girls or can boys enjoy it as well?

Thanks for sharing.

Have you got, like, a million pictures of "Andi" from back then? I doubt she could pretend to be 12 anymore.

Is Cory ever going to be on a cover?

Happy 4th!

ETA: Woah! You have tour dates! *grin* That sounds so fabulous! You're a real celebrity now! :-)

That is awesome that you are writing for world wide publications. Your writing career is going awesome!
I dare to guess that your one of the few hsbloggers that can show and tell a magazine publication such as this!

Thank you for the comment! Yes, I used our scanner to get it onto the computer, and increased the contrast a bit since the scanner left some undesirable black marks around the edges ;-).

I might make myself a widget like that...although I actually don't have a story blog, come to think of it! I may set one up in the future. We'll see! I was also thinking of taking your writing lessons--they look like some fun exercises.

Hope you had a wonderful Independence Day!
