Photos from our Pre-Pub Tour
One of the highlights of our trip was meeting some of early readers of "The Familiars."
In Naperville, Andrew and I had the opportunity to sit down and chat with students, teachers and librarians. Becky Anderson was a wonderful host and we send her the biggest thanks!
As special as it may have been for these third, fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh graders to hang out with us, it was even more awesome for Andrew and I.

The Familiars Pre-Pub Tour: Day One
Hey everyone!
Excited to share with you our adventures as we travel around the country meeting booksellers, librarians, and teachers talking about THE FAMILIARS before its September release. Check out footage from our first day on the road.
Andrew is confused about what exactly a pub tour is:

The Book Expo of America - (Adam)
For all of you that are going to BEA 2010, I am incredibly jealous. For one, I love books. Just the idea of being around all of those dust jackets and librarians makes my heart go a flutter. Two, I love sneak peeks. It really doesn't matter what I get to look at early but the fact that only a rarefied group of people have laid eyes on the object in question makes said item 10 times more interesting. (I have been known to keep the Entertainment Weekly Summer Preview issue for many years after...
