Starcatchers Tour, Day 1
Dave (Barry) and I kicked off our Peter and the Secret of Rundoon tour with an amazing party at Books and Books in Coral Gables, Florida. We had a terrific turnout (thank you!) but also the book store went "all out" with pirate costumes, flags, decorations, events for the kids, Radio Disney, and ...
...an 11', 95 lb, python that we had to hold while read from the book. Not only was it absurdly heavy, and constantly moving, and slimy, but after this shot, it curled around me and laid its head on my shoulder and steadily hissed into my ear, to where I was convinced I was going to be its dinner, while 300 people looked on.
(notice the Mickey Mouse ears I get from the eyes of the pirate flag—this confirms it was a Disney event!)
Anyway it was a wild start to what I'm sure will be an equally wild book tour. We look forward to meeting many of you on the road—just one thing: don't bring any snakes.

Where exactly is Coral Gables? I hope it's not too close to Tampa, otherwise I will be very mad. Just kidding. Sort of.
But I have to give you credit with the snake. I wouldn't be able to hold any snake, let alone an 11', 95 lb, python while reading aloud to 300 people.
Hooray for Pirate motifs! I got a Pirates folder and soundchip card that plays 'He's a Pirate' for my birthday.
I can't wait to read this book, or for the Contemporary signing! I promise you this, Ridley, no snakes from me, but expect a paper bag.
Love the MM ears. ;)
Great. The Contemporary event should be a blast. Disney does it right!
Coral Gables is in Miami.
too far for you, Catherine.

I just started reading one of your books and I think it is so adventurous. I like adventurous books.
