I’m lucky enough to have Book Expo America right here in Los Angeles this year, so I’m taking full advantage. I’ll be living in the Los Angeles Convention Center for about four days, eating up all the lovely literary goodness. And, of course, in true BookFox fashion, passing all that lovely information on to you. I’ll be doing some regular blogging, as well as vlogging, partially in the format in which I covered the Festival of Books, and maybe throwing in some extra goodies as well.
If you’re going, please post in my comments or drop me an email to let me know. That way we could get together, talk shop, books, or just enjoy the frenzy of the event. Or if you see me lugging my cameraman around at the event, please don’t be shy. I know BEA is in a week and a half, but the week beforehand I’ll be gone in Puerto Vallarta for a friend’s destination wedding, so it’s coming up pretty quickly for me.

Fox, I’ve been getting letters in the mail from National Geographic and the like, announcing the books/authors that will be at the expo. I gave Joel that latest: there’s gonna be a wine tasting on Friday at 4pm. Make sure you hit that up and get it on film!
If you think I would miss a wine tasting . . .

Infamous cat burglar Walter T. Shaw will be available for interviews.
Background:
Celebrities are supporting Shaw’s desire to give his inventive father his rightful due.
A License To Steal, (Omega Publishing, April ’08, $24.95, hardcover) chronicles the saga of his father, probably one of the most important inventors of our time, who patented Conference Calling, Speakerphone, Touch-Tone Dialing, etc. and was ripped off by corporate America and the mafia, and how this drove Walter himself to become one of the country’s most famous jewel thieves, having taken an estimated $70 million from the rich and famous from Long Island to Florida.
My human, Steve Fisher, and his female will be hanging around the Sterling booth for parts of Saturday to promote my book. It’s a hilarious how-to manual for cats called The World is Your Litter Box. (I’ll be home napping; I’m a cat and just can’t be bothered.) Please stop by so Steve doesn’t get lonely. If you miss him and the female, please visit my website (url link) or my blog at theworldisyourlitterbox.blogspot.com.
