WondLa.com Live!

Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers has launched The Search for WondLa site in preparation for tomorrow’s release of the novel. Yippee!

There, you can download some spiffy wallpaper for your computer, play some amazing games, listen to a sample of the audio book and totally explored the interactive “augmented reality” map. Have fun!

In fact, USA TODAY ran an article on interactive books and features some quotes from yours truly. Enjoy!

WondLa Audio Sampler

With The Search for WondLa’s release fast approaching, I thought I’d leak chapter 1: “Alone” of the audiobook read by none other than the loverly Teri Hatcher. I’ve listened to the entire disc and Teri did a fantastic job with the numerous voices and characterizations – at 10 hours long, that’s some serious storytelling. Take a listen:

As with the novel, the audiobook will be available in bookstores everywhere in the US and Canada on September 21st. Enjoy!

WondLaFul Tour 2010

Here at last is my complete fall itinerary for The Search for WondLa book tour 2010. I will be doing a short presentation, drawing and Q&A. I will sign ANY of my old books, cards and stuff that you bring, but please check with the store first about their signing policy. (I go into this a bit more on my site under the FAQs).

I will also have a limited supply of the limited edition WondLa sketchbook to give out FOR FREE at each event. I will likely be given them out to the first 50-100 attendees, so get there on time! I’ll see ya this fall!
