Marilyn's Monster Book Party TODAY, April 18!

Can't wait for today's MARILYN'S MONSTER PARTY at WORD Brooklyn! Marilyn's Monster is my new picture book, illustrated by the amazing Matt Phelan. It looks like this:

And do you know what else will be at the party? CUPCAKES. Also, MONSTERS!

So if you're in the NYC area, I hope you'll come by! Hear a story, get a signed book if you like, eat some cupcakes, color and do fun kid-friendly activities, and take home a free mini-monster of your very own! My other books will also be available for signing if you want to stock up! :)

BIG MEAN MIKE pre-order drive and book party!

For a limited time only, pre-order a signed, personalized copy of my new picture book, BIG MEAN MIKE!

Between now and August 7, you can pre-order my new book from WORD in Brooklyn, and I will sign it, and they will either:

• send it to you the week of the book’s release on August 14!

or

• hold it for you to pick up in person at the BIG MEAN MIKE BOOK PARTY on September 15!

Some important things:

1. You only have about a week to place your order! Only orders received by August 7 will be able to be signed and personalized in time for mailing.
2. If you want the book personalized (e.g., “For Margaret” or “Happy birthday, Uncle Len!”), just let us know in the comments field when you order.
3. If you’d like to pick up your pre-ordered copy in person at the BIG MEAN MIKE BOOK PARTY on September 15 instead of having it shipped to you the week of August 14, please mention that in the comments field, too.
4. Feel free to order some of my other books at the same time! :)

More information on the book party to come soon, but I can tell you that it will be at WORD in Greenpoint, Brooklyn on Saturday, September 15, from 4–6pm, and also that it will be very fun and if you live in the NYC area, you should come! Children are welcome and encouraged. Some of my other books (Library Lion, Argus, The Dragon of Trelian, The Princess of Trelian) will also be available for purchase/signing at the party.
