ODB Bestseller List

Alexander took a book that was missing the last page and rewrote the ending. He drew the illustration and wrote the final word of the story, "moon".


It should be noted that he was also the one that ripped out the original page. I guess it's all about making your own opportunities in the world of writing.



Yesterday, some new "art" spontaneously appeared on our refrigerator.

Upon closer inspection, it seemed there were words written under the scribbles. You may be able to see it if you are good at seeing dolphins in Magic Eye pictures or if you have an industrial strength pair of mommy-goggles on hand.



Me: Did you make this?
Alexander: Yes, I made that last week. (said as if he was so over it)
Me: What does it say?
Alexander: It says "Alexander loves his cat." It's a mess.

So it appears that he wrote a sentence and then scribbled all over it in a fit of creative frustration. You know writers.


Anyway, his PR team suggested we use this picture for his "about the author" book flap.


It was either this or the classic author trifecta of turtleneck, dog, and fireplace. The bear ears just felt more "right". They ensure people will take him seriously as a writer (because everyone takes bears seriously). I'm so glad we have a PR team.

Your PR people are geniuses! I want a case (gross? carton? ton?) of Alexander's latest!! Love the ears, love the sentence, love the scribbles!
And I hear The Boy's moved up in the scholastic world, too?
He's brilliant! We're bustin' our collective buttons.
