I don’t know what you’ll be doing with your Sunday afternoon, but I’ll be spending it with my best buddies* Carl Hiaasen and Christopher Moore in San Francisco, chatting about books, life, family, and dandruff. http://www.booksinc.net/event/carl-hiaasen-coversation-christopher-moore-sunday-afternoon-chapel So hopefully I’ll see you there. And please, this event is about Carl and Christopher, not me. So please, no autographs.…

For those of you who were putting off buying (well, downloading)Â Verano the Fish because you couldn’t see what was actually inside the book and didn’t want to risk downloading some sort of fish snuff book that was far too dark for your children, well, your fears are assuaged! And you should get downloading. After many…

We (my son and I) presented Verano the Fish to his class yesterday for Book Day, and we handed out a reading guide for it, to show the kids how we made it. It was accompanied by a short Keynote presentation (since the illustrations for the book and book itself live on the iPad we did…

This is a continuation of the story begun in The Story of Creating Verano the Fish. Now on with the story… But, as W.C. Fields is purported to have said, “Never work with children or animals.” W.C. Fields had no advice about drawing stuff yourself when you can’t draw, so one day I went with that…

So I don’t know quite why you’d do this, expect, perhaps, to support my family and myself, allow us to put food on the table, but you can now pay real money for Verano the Fish at Amazon.com. It’s $2.99 because that’s the lowest Amazon will let us go, but it’s also at some special,…

Fresh off the publication of Verano I’ve already got my hordes of nearly illegal child labor hot on the tails of the next big thing. And I’m here, today (or whenever you read this, really), to present to you the next big thing out of our children’s book publishing house: It’s Verano, back again for…

So until now you had to be one of those lucky enough to have an iPad to read Verano the Fish, but today I’m announcing the immediate availability of Verano the Fish right in your very own web browser! So if you have eyes and a computer you can now read Verano the Fish, for…

We started working on Verano in a furniture store. I was occupying the kids, who, like all kids, are like mini-tactical nuclear devices in shopping situations. You need to handle them very, very carefully, lest they explode. Luckily, it’s easy to occupy our kids, or at least contain them, especially in a furniture store, where…

I’ll be writing a bit more about this book in the coming days, in particular the production of the thing, but if you are a child or have some of them around, you might want to go check out our “deftly wrought parable for the modern age,” said no one, called Verano the Fish. It’s an…
