Are you looking for Edgar?

Hello adventurers,

Response to the videos has been amazing! If you haven't seen them yet, search "Edgar Font" at: YouTube, MySpace, AOLvideo, and iFilm. More are on the way.

If you're looking for a copy of "Adventure One: The Castle Tower Lighthouse" you can find it at Amazon.com (they're running low on stock, but will be reordering more from me this week). You can also get it at edgarfont.com by using PayPal, and you or your parents don't even need a PayPal account, just an everyday credit or debit card. As for the bookstores—I am working with a distributor now and with them hope to have Edgar in all major bookstores within the year. But if you feel like it, you can go to the counter of Borders or Barnes&Noble and ask them for it. That will help me get it on the shelves sooner.

To thank all of you for your continued support and to again welcome all my new adventurers I'm going to share with you the front cover of: "Adventure Two: The Fakersville Power Station." I still can't tell you about the house or where it is. For that information you'll have to solve the puzzle in Adventure One and open the safe on the website (edgarfont.com).

Until next time, make everyday of your life an adventure.
Your friend & storyteller,
patrick

EDGAR FONT VIDEOS!

Hello Adventurers & welcome YouTubers & MySpacers,

The videos I promised you can now be seen on a number of websites (youtube, myspace, ifilm, and soon for all of you at AOL). I couldn't wait until May to share them with you, and there are more to come. If you're new to this blog, welcome and I hope you enjoy the adventure. I'm reachable at patrick@armadillo-books.com if you have any questions, but there are times in the year when I'm out researching for the upcoming books and traveling to the locations I read about in the Font's journal.

In other news. I'm a few hours away from finishing the cover art for Adventure Two. Once it's done I'll post it here for all of you to see a comment on.

I'll tell you more then. Enjoy the videos!
Your friend & storyteller,
patrick

HAPPY & ADVENTUROUS NEW YEAR: 2007!

Happy 2007 adventurers and Happy Birthday Kevin (my younger brother). I'm thinking this is going to be a great year. Adventure One is rolling along and #2 is on its way. I've just finished the cover drawing and will start coloring it this weekend. I received a very good book review before Christmas from Mr. Bob Spear of the Heartland Review. He wrote: "At last, a young adult midgrade series to take the place of Lemony Snicket, and it’s about 1,000% better. We rated this excellent new start to a series five hearts." Thank you, Mr. Spear. Mr. Snicket is a writer I look up to and I hope to have just as many readers one day. I live in the same city as him—San Francisco (we live about 3 miles apart) so maybe one day we'll get together.

I welcome any reviews from any of you if you'd like to send them to me (house2haunt@yahoo.com). They might even show up on edgarfont.com. And speaking of the website, I have a huge surprise for you in May—Edgar Font Videos! Other things coming up include a new puzzle, new maps, drawings, and appearances by me. I'll let you know where I'll be and when. I'll bring the photos I've taken during my trips as I trace the adventure I read about in the journal. Here's one from my exploration of the Castle Tower Lighthouse. The lighthouse is no more, but the island is. This is a picture of the coast line taken from the rocky shore.

More to come!
