I'd like to thank all of the people who came together for the Greater Symphony Orchestra Children's concert. Here's what the media had to say...

Holly Weiss, author of Crestmont, has been commissioned by the Greater Newburgh Symphony Orchestra to write verses for a work played by the symphony. Weiss will compose narration to accompany a performance of Bizet's Children's Verses. The concert is 3 pm, Saturday, January 14, 2012.

Following the concert, Weiss will be hosted by the orchestra in a "Meet the Author" book signing in Aquinas Hall, Mount St. Mary College, Newburgh, New York.

Last night I did my first Skype/Webcam presentation of Crestmont. The Montgomery House Library in McEwensville, PA, graciously invited me to do a talk about the book and my experience of "One Voice Led to Another" (my transition from singing to writing.
They were a receptive and enthusiastic group. I was pleased to chat with an 80- year-old man who lived in Eagles Mere and had worked at the old Crestmont.

Technology is great! I couldn't have made the trip down there to do the presentation in person. Good to learn new things.

Thank you, Montgomery House Library!

I’m honored to be a guest at The Sunny Room Studio http://www.sunnyroomstudio.com/2011/0...

Please visit the blog for my story of ending a thirty-year singing career and moving into writing. Changing from one form of creative expression felt like the old axiom, "Barn burned down, now I can see the moon." The challenges of post-polio syndrome turned into a blessing - One voice led to another.

Crestmont, my historical fiction novel set in the 1920s was born. http://amzn.to/kmMq4P.

When post polio syndrome forced me to retire from singing, I turned to writing. Crestmont was born.

Here is a two minute clip with some of my thoughts. Hope you enjoy it.

I was so happy to film this on the porch of The Crestmont Inn, where my novel is set. It's about two minutes long.
Hope you enjoy it.
