Ransom Riggs and His Peculiar Foot

A while back I heard from a fellow with the awesome name of Ransom Riggs. It seems he was working on a project and needed to find authors who were terrible writers when they were kids. John Green had told him about me.

Er, thanks, John.

Oh! And here's an interview I did with John, eons ago when we were both practically children.

Anyway, Ransom set aside that project to work on another one, namely a YA novel with the awesome name of MISS PEREGRINE'S HOME FOR PECULIAR CHILDREN.

It's an amazing book and was recently reviewed in Entertainment Weekly and People magazine, and is already a NY TIMES bestseller!

Here's a spooky preview. . .


On Sunday, we went to Ransom's very first book signing at Dark Delicacies in Burbank, CA . . .

Peepy thought that she was the main draw, but then Ransom took the stage . . .
