On Tuesday, The release date for the book, I found that I was front page news. I new my local paper was doing an article, lucky for me it was a slow news day and I made not just the front, but above the fold. Here's a link to the full text.

Then, on Wednesday I read I'm Looking For a Monster for the first time to a group of kids at storytime at the Easton branch of the Talbot County Library. About 2 dozen kids were there and a bunch of adults. It was great fun. The Star Democrat ran this picture of the event in Thursday's paper and this video on their website. Here's the caption:

PHOTO & VIDEO BY ROXANE DOSTER WATTS Easton author Timothy Young read his book “I’m Looking for a Monster” to children at the Talbot County Free Library. The children also made a picture that included their own monsters. Young is currently working on his next book, “I’m Looking for a Dinosaur,” which he expects to be out next year. Young will be at the Old Towne Creamery in Easton on Saturday to sign his book, which was released Tuesday.

On Saturday I had my first Book Signing at the Olde Towne Creamery. We sold close to 50 books and had a great time seeing friends, collegues and lots of local kids come out. I'll have photos from that event next week.

Don't forget to check www.ImLookingForAMonster.com for more events and where to buy the book. Let me know if you find it locally, and I'll give your local bookstore a plug.
