The Actual Book Arrives!

Yesterday I got a great surprise: a package appeared on my doorstep from my publisher, and when I opened it, I found the first actual hardback copy of Doc Wilde and The Frogs of Doom that I've seen!

It's gorgeous. I couldn't be happier with the way the book has shaped up. Putnam has done a marvelous job and I look forward to doing more with them.

The timing of the book's arrival was fantastic too: in a few days, my son (who I wrote the book for, and who it's dedicated to) will have his birthday, and among the other things he's getting will be this book, the first actual signed hardback copy.

I can't wait.
