With the demise of Adventures for Kids, Ventura's only children's book store, what's a body to do in order to launch a book?  Answer: launch it at a school!

On Tuesday of this week I'm planning to do just that.  Melvin Beederman's seventh adventure will be officially debuted at Mound Elementary School in Ventura, California.  In return for a free day with the author, I'll be selling book seven in the series at Mound.  Of course, all the books will be available, but what a great way to introduce the most recent one to hundreds of kids—way more than would ever show up to a book store signing.  This may be the way of the future.  I'll let you know how it goes.

As I've probably blogged about in the past, the highlight of my school presentation is when I get the kids up to act out one of the books, and I start things off with an evil laugh contest.  The winner gets to play the villain as we act out The Grateful Fred.
