I’m just finishing up the second day at Book Expo 2006. Back hurts. Feet hurt. And everything else you can name. However, I had to hop onto an internet terminal to tell about some highlights from the numerous author signings.

For a chuckle, check this out: Stephen Baldwin writes Spirit Warriors

Also funny was Christopher Moore’s reaction to being told to STOP talking to readers and to START blindly sign as many A Dirty Job copies for the waiting multitude. (Review coming soon.)

A very long line for a signed copy of the 25th anniversary edition of Bunnicula! Fear the bunny!

Amongst the many appreciative and enthusiastic authors, Obert Skye was, by far, the coolest. Not only did he sign his advance reading copy of Leven Thumps and the Whispered Secret (due out in September) for my Teen Advisory Group, but he also signed a hardcover copy of the The Gateway to Foo, and gave away handy-dandy canvas bags with the Leven Thumps logo and mulitple bookmarks. Obert was sincere and eager to have teens respond to his work through his website. So, Thank you authors for a memorable experience, and especially to OBERT SKYE!!! YOU ROCK!!!
