Okay, I know, it looks a little weird — but roll with it, people. 180 children’s book authors & illustrators, but it’s the readers who make it all possible. They are the ones who excite me.

I’m doing another Festival in Maplewood, NJ, on the following day — Sunday the 31st — but can’t locate any promotional materials. Concerning!

It’s amusing, this flyers that schools and event organizers whip up. I mean, the photo of me that they select. This one must be 10 years old. I imagine a graphic artist googling images for “James Preller” and looking through them, shaking a head, thinking, “No, no, ack, not this! No, no . . . hmmm, I guess maybe we could go with this one.”
Anyway, swing by. It’s Halloween season. Maybe something scary will inspire some page-turning. The Open Door is an amazing store and 50 years is an incredible accomplishment. Talk about a survivor.
