And in case you’re wondering I’m not going to tell you what I’m working on. But I can tell you that IQ2 The White House has “gone to press” which means that it has been sent to the printer and with luck it will be in stores in 3 or 4 weeks. They are printing it in paperback and hardback at the same time. I will let you know when it is on the shelves.

Just a reminder for those who might have missed the post. I’ve set up a Face Book Fan Page. You can access it here: Just hit the “Like” button on the top of the page and you’re on. No friend confirmation needed. And I have a contest on the page. I’m going to give away 10 hardcover signed copies of Cryptid Hunters when we get to 5,000 fans. We’re almost hallway there!

The wonderful Cecelia Solomon, one of our hosts at the F.A.M.E. conference, put together “custom” welcome baskets for the authors.

In mine was “The Everest Ornament” made (and signed) by Jeff Clapp. Inside the crystal is tinsel made from oxygen cylinders reclaimed from Mt. Everest.

I write about the horrible garbage problem on Everest in “Peak”. It’s nice to know someone has found a use for the garbage. And it was very thoughtful of Cecelia to include it in my basket with the other goodies.

I’m going to hang the ornament year round in my office to remind me to keep spreading the word.

Thank you Cecelia!
