My book is in stores. The moles are reporting they've seen it in bookstores and comic book shops everywhere from Sunnyvale, California, to Halifax, Nova Scotia. I haven't actually been in a bookstore in months (chained to the drawing desk, remember), but I take it on good faith that you can pretty much find it wherever you are in North America. Try the "young adult" or "independent readers 9-12" sections. Or, ask a friendly employee!

Book #2 is due to my editors in 2 weeks, and I've been holed up inking like a maniac. This is the home stretch--time to break into a sprint, and make for the finish line.

So Raina, is it a coincidence that on page 34 Kristy is brushing her teeth with "Smile Paste", or was that cleverly slipped in there on purpose? ;)

Okay, now I have read it three times, bought a copy for my friend in Boston and coerced my local Barnes and Noble into ordering twice the copies next time because the 6 they ordered are already gone. So, I think it's safe to tell you that I absolutely LOVE it! I can't wait for the second one to come out. Three cheers for the BSC and for Raina!!!!!!

Hey Raina -

I called my fav bookstore when I saw it on the lists, and asked them to hold two copies for me. The manager asked why two copies, and I told him that my daughter Sophie is seven, and will love it. Long pause. "So the other one is yours?" He asked. And by the time I came up with a good excuse ("Uh, my brother's daughter, see...") it was pretty clear I wanted my own copy. Getting them next week. Can't wait to read it!

Congratulations!

hi, james! haha! this is becoming a familiar story...book store owners can't see why an adult, much less a GUY adult, would want to read this!

i hope sophie enjoys it--you, too! :)

Sadly I wont see my copy for a while, it was resolicited in last months Previews, so that's when I ordered it. I'll get my copy at the end of... um? April is it? Yeah... April. :(

I have too much to read as it is anyway, so April is good, so I can enjoy and concentrate on it.

Congrats though... the world will now totally change I bet... or not. :)
