It’s homeschool party time, at least in the Lockman home!  Have you ever had to postpone a celebration?  Well, I have had BIG news that I’ve been wanting to share with you, but my semester has been so busy with “extreme education” and speech and debate tournaments that I haven’t had time to announce the publication of my new book, Trivium Mastery:  The Intersection of Three Roads! In fact, my author’s copy arrived in mid-March while I was running the tabulation room in the Indianapolis NCFCA qualifying tournament, and in the frenzy of hosting that event then moving on to Louisville and Cincinnati tournaments, I was only able to tell a few friends and send a few copies to family members.

Here is a photo that Meredith took of me the day that my author’s copy arrived.  As you can see, I am beaming.  The publication of this book is truly a dream come true for me, and I praise God for inspiring me and blessing every step of the way from the first draft to the final edits.    My greatest desire is that He should be glorified in the content, presentation, and application of the ideas gathered in Trivium Mastery.  Secondly, I pray that He will provide me with spiritual “daughters” to encourage in the homeschooling journey.

While the book was still in the galley phase, I sent copies to several home school authorities for their comments.  Take a look at what Andrew Pudewa and Rebecca Kochendorfer have to say about Trivium Mastery.  I am humbled by their support and praise.  In fact, Andrew’s wife absconded with his copy (it was on his desk), and she loved it!  That meant so much to me because as you know from my interview with Andrew, the older Pudewa children attended a private school with a traditional classical method, so I know that she is very familiar with the recent renewal movement.  You can read their comments and watch a quick video by me if you want to learn more about the book.

Now, it’s time for you to open your presents!

Usually when you go to a big party, you are expected to bring a gift to the birthday girl, graduate, or couple celebrating years of marriage.  Well, I want to turn that idea on it’s head and give YOU a gift to celebrate my exciting news!  I intentionally decided to sell the book through amazon.com, Barnes & Noble, and other online retailers just so that I didn’t have to deal with shipping and handling, BUT for the next week, I am going to offer Trivium Mastery:  The Intersection of Three Roads directly to the first 300 buyers with THREE special celebratory gifts! Here’s the offer:
