Calling All Members!

Okay, we're officially 3 weeks away from the launch of Heroes For My Son.


As we do with every book, just want to know who wants to help by being part of our oh-so-glamorous Invisible Army (who every book saves our tushies like nobody's business). If you're up for it, please email me here or at bradmeltzer44 AT gmail.com with the message: "I'm in." We'll do the rest.


Love you like Milano cookies.

April Fool

Holy jeez. Never, in all my years of having an April first birthday, have I ever had a prank this good played on me (though when I used to sell classified ads and all my clients canceled their ads on the same day, leaving me broke, that was close).


So thanks to my wife Cori -- and all my fellow creative pals -- and all the sites that helped post it. Every damn one of them is a place (and person) I love to read. My wife knows me well -- and it was nice to know that if she wanted to cheat on me, I clearly would have no idea.


Also, best part? My film agent who called and said, "I believed it.". Thanks for the faith. To see the full prank:



But most of all, thanks to all the family and friends who sent love. You know I don't have "readers." I have family and friends. Always have. That's the ONLY reason I get to still do this and on a day like my birthday -- when I usually get all sappy and sad -- thanks for making me feel so blessed. I never ever forget you're there. Ever.


If I could buy each of you something expensive -- like a first-class Bar Mitzvah -- I would.


xoxo
