Even Monsters are Brazilian
April 17, 2011
Here’s something cool that arrived in my inbox this week: the layout for the new Brazilian edition of Even Monsters Need Haircuts, which is just about to go to press. (Click to see the full image.) I know our world keeps getting smaller, but this sort of thing never fails to blow me away.

Upcoming book signing events
September 12, 2010
Larry and I will be at two upcoming events, signing books and looking handsome. If you’d like to pick up a signed, personalized copy of Even Monsters Need Haircuts or Benjamin Franklinstein Lives in time for Halloween, here’s your chance. Plus, even if you don’t buy a book, we’ll look a lot less lonely if you swing by and pretend to talk to us. It’s win-win!
