Denver Friends
I saw Hale and others at my talk in Denver last night. We discussed the next Kingdom Keepers, the stage production of Peter and the Starcatchers and more. Thanks to all for coming out and supporting the books. Still a few cities to go. Hope to see more of you out there.
Kingdom Keepers 2 appears to be on track for August 2008. Steel Trapp will publish in April 08, and I hope to tour for it.

Do you hope to tour for KK2 as well?
Hope you come somewhere near Florida...
Yes. I'm sure I'll tour for KK2.
Ridley
will the second book be longer than the first one?
I love Denver... :o)
More touring? Yay! Do you have any idea of where you will be touring, or not really? It's pretty far ahead, so I doubt you know...
Hey Ridley when should KK2 come out?
Anyone want to be friends?
*cough*Connecticut*cough*
Dear Ridley
I recall you saying that kk2 was coming out in September 2007 what happened?

Make sure you tell us all the news about that PatSC show when you hear it. I am praying it will make it through!
KK2 was always scheduled for August 2008. That's why I always emphasized 2008!! not 2007!
I'm finishing it now, and Disney is working on a cover. One year to go!!
Ridley
Ooh, I can picture the cover now:
Similar to the first, but instead of pirates chasing the kids, the Expedition Everest Yeti chasing the kids in front of the Tree of life.
I am way too impatient.
I really liked KK and I was wondering how many more books there are going to be. I hope Kingdom Keepers 2 is going to be just as good or better than Kingdom Keepers.
I want to bring up the ideas of a Kingdom Keepers movie again. Any news yet? I think I would play a nice Dillard. Hee hee.

-cough-Come to Tampa, FL for KK2! -cough-
Off-topic, much: I'm going to Disney in a few days. I'm bringing 3-D glasses because I am that obsessed.
I'll post the KK2 tour when I have it -- probably early June next year.
I can't wait to visit everywhere you all mention!
Ridley
But keep an eye out for the
Peter and the Secret Of Rundoon book tour this October/November!
Ridley
Has the Secret of Rundoon Tour been finalized? We would love to have y'all in Birmingham, Alabama. Lots of great Book Stores, Libraries, and other great places. LMK and I'll set it up! BIJ
Kingdom Keepers 2 is finished. My daughter has read it front to back. I head to Animal Kingdom next week for one final walk through of the attractions as they are described in the book. Now it's on to Disney making a cover and beginning the process of publishing the book.
Ridley
Awww your daughters so looking i mean haviong you is lucking enough(sorry for the kiss up moment :D) but to be able to read the book all ready and any words of a kk movie?
I mean lucky O.O

After reading your latest post, Ridley, the burning jealousy kicked in.
Just kidding.
To a certain extent.
I must say, having come back from Disney, the Winnie-the-Pooh ride was both creepy and awesome in 3-D glasses.
The PATSOR tour kicks off on my brithday. Time to add somethnig more to my wishlist...
Happy Birthday, Catherine!
Hope to see you on tour.
Ridley
Congratulations on finishing The Kingdom Keepers 2. I have a school that would love to have you for a event. They read KK as one of their book club titles,and loved it. I know this is very early to ask, do you think you'll be touring when the kids are back in school or still on break?
Also, will Dave and yourself be making your way up to Copperfield's in northern California?
Thanks Ridley
I need to get another copy of KK, the kids have now destroyed the fourth copy from reading it so much.
Holy crap. I'm not going to say anything, because I don't want to reveal anything to those who haven't read yet: but holy crap!
Reading an ARC copy of "Peter and the Secret of Rundoon", I had to put the book down and stare at my wall in awe at the plot twis--no, plot tornado that you just exploded onto me.
I don't even know if it'll be THAT completely relevant to the plot, but I didn't see that coming at ALL, and such a fun surprise has just made my week.
*This is referring to the... hrrm... Archives, and Starr...
But anyways, great work. I anxiously await the potential theatre production of the series/first book and cannot wait to finish the conclusion to this fantastic trilogy.
It may seem outlandish; but are you following the Starcatcher series with an Aladdin series--or single book--but related to Starstuff?
It would be very interesting if you and Mr. Barry could write prequels to a few more Disney stories, all explaining them with Starstuff. You basically set the stage for Aladdin--and The Little Mermaid could be done easily as well.
I'm not sure about Beauty and the Beast or any of the others... but those would be very exciting and new. Maybe Peter could be tied in?--Who knows.
Also!--there's an ARC copy of Peter and the Secret of Rundoon on eBay, and is supposed to have your signature. I didn't buy that copy (the only reason I bought an ARC of Rundoon was because I was too excited and eager to read to wait till--Ah!--November) but, if you didn't sign any ARC copies, you might want to check that out.
*Also, I understand that writing isn't a few pieces of cake and you have a masterpiece. Obviously doing the Aladdin, Little Mermaid, etc. would be a lot of work, but it could be a very interesting and, not to mention, awesome, way to expand the PATS series.
Anywhom, I can't wait till the launch of Rundoon... even though I'm reading it...
And if Starcatchers becomes a play, I'm buying tickets. And sitting on the stage.
Haha.

GAH! I just finished Rundoon and I'm now going to read Peter Pan, and then Peter Pan in Scarlet, and then write some more sequels to that.
I've grown in love with Molly... she's such a fun character. And Ammm, too, and it's upsetting to know they won't be in the 'next' installments of the Peter Pan franchise (referring to the original by Mr. Barrie, and the 'official sequel' which came out around the same time as Shadow Thieves).
Though, I must say, Rundoon seemed a bit strange without the pictures--but I don't mind, and I can't wait to see what they look like.
Now I'm only hoping you expand further and add an Aladdin bit as suggested before, but that's a long stretch and only the product of my addiction to this series (mixed, of course, with an easy way to expand the franchise in a fun, new way... Yay, persuasiveness... heh...)

imtylersemail:
I will be touring KK2 at the start of next school year, late Aug, early Sept 2008 contact jennifer.levine@disney.com for tour requests. Dave and I will be at Corte Madera. Not sure about Copperfields, although we LOVE the store!
R
The Puzzler:
there is another book after Rundoon, but not a Starcatchers. More to come.
Ridley
Holy crap! Mr. Pearson, I think you just saved me from mass depression...
(Haha) I am so excited now, which adds even more to the awesomeness, as I leave for Disney tomorrow.
Anywhom, keep up the fantastic work--I still haven't read Kingdom Keepers, but I might pick it up when I get in Disney. If not for [forget the name] gift shop in the Animal Kingdom, I may have never picked up Peter and the Starcatchers.
August 2008?! wow....thought was scheduled a while ago that it was to be fall 2007 but guess that was just an early estimate
wow i havn't een on a long time but i am so excited to hear that kk2 is finished. ur daughter is lucky she cot to read it already. the rest of the world is dying to read it.u know i know that u may not but for ur tour it would be asome if u came to my home town DuBois Pennsylvainia. but u problably already have your tour all firgurd out
do we know if a movie is in the works?
Is it true that the Peter and the Starcatchers movie will be animated? Why not real actors? I think it would be cooler if it was real not animated. Have you already started filming it?
Will you come back to illinois to adnersons book store in naperville?
I wish I had known you were coming to Denver! Anyway, I can't wait for the second Kingdom Keepers. I am going to Disney World in March and I am going to take and wear 3-D glasses. Hey, hiding clues to something seems like something Disney would do.
