Title: My New Book-UPDATE/A Bestseller
Post by: speedermike on August 19, 2009, 12:39 AM
My new children's book "The Runaway Mummy: A Petrifying Parody" hits the New York Times Bestseller List at #9 on 10/25.  That's 2 in a row for me, my last one went to #1 for tow weeks.


not sure why the pic isn't working...tried pulling it from several sources.

Sounds like fun, Mike! I see your stuff all the time at work (which is a library!)

Hotlinking is probably not allowed.

So here is the direct link to the cover:

My kids love your books, if it is not too late, we are going to try to hit the Bookstore on the way home from school today.

 The specific website may have it coded into their site that pictures won't load if hotlinked.

Mike that is great.  I know we snagged one way back when it hit the shelves and have given a couple as gifts during non-stop birthday parties the last few weeks.

My family eagerly awaits the next one for sure.

I wanted to mention that Goodnight Goon is available in the scholastic order forms my kids bring home from school. Pretty cool.

I came home the other night and saw both of your books on my kitchen counter.  My kids (6 and 10) LOVE them.  Congratulations, and keep up the good work!

People, including my family, don't believe that I know you, Mike.  My sons love Goodnight Goon (both were huge Goodnight Moon fans as well) and have really enjoyed Runaway Mummy as well.  Congrats!!!

Mike,

Your book was the bedtime story tonight!  The kids couldn't wait for "Halloween Season" to break it out.   

Did you ever get another done?

A while ago somebody asked for your stuff at the bookstore where I work. I wanted to say "I know him on the Internet!" but couldn't figure out how to work it in casually. :P

When I came home tonight my wife told me she ordered some Halloween books from the kids' bookclub from school.  When I asked her what ones she replied the Goodnight Goon and Runaway Mummy gift pack.  I then proceeded to tell her that the author is one of the members of JD, to which she scoffed and said I was full of it.  I then had to show her this and the other thread about your books, Mike.  Now she wants to know if we can get them signed once we receive them ;)

Goodnight Goon is one of my son's favorites. We check it out every so often from the library.
