In the last 3 weeks on the HILO BOOK TOUR I have spoken to at least 3,000 school children. I can tell you the following:
1. Kids are awesome.
2. Explaining the expression, “The tip of the iceberg” requires visual aids, but worth the effort.
3. Girls and boys say “Awww” to the exact same things.
4. Saying the word “butt” in any context gets a laugh.
5. Very few children know the story of KING KONG. (I put in a lot of work to rectify this. You’re welcome)
6. Regardless of their “economic bracket“ I’m constantly reminded that kids are basically the same. They laugh at the same jokes. They ask the same questions. They want to tell you the same things.
And they just want to be happy.
(Call this lefty or pollyanna - I don’t care.)

I’m re-reading this book today and will tweet some bits which I find to be enlightening. 😌✨
I was reading a version I checked out from the library, but decided to buy the revised and updated version. But I was still reading the old version. So now I have to start over. LOL.
I had officially returned the ebook back to the library, but then it really hadn't been returned from the Kindle app via Amazon. Oy.

The first time you arrive a country were the first language isn’t English... it humbles you.
Like there’s so much going on you can’t catch.

#Khashoggi Case Thread: I am going to ‘pin’ this post to use it as an ‘Info Thread’ on the #Khashoggi Case. I am in #Turkey. I’ve been following the case closely and with access to sources & experts here. This is a very ‘sensitive’ criminal case due to ‘Diplomatic Booby Traps’!!!
The Evidence Obtained Outside Cameras will not show any evidence of ‘tempering’ but other than license plates of dozens of diplomatic cars (Many with tinted windows-large trunks) with related time stamp, drivers Info, model/year: Nothing.
#Turkish Intel-Investigative Bodies also have the list of all Diplomatic & Private Saudi & “other significant’ Planes in #Turkey for the period of ‘interest.’ Many of the Target airports have their own security cameras & related evidence.

I keep thinking back to a discussion a few months on reddit about THE BELGARIAD. Several comments were made about it being cliche and pedestrian, and someone said, “Yeah, it’s a fine story, but it’s never going to be a classic.”
And all I could think to respond was, “It’s over thirty years later and we’re still talking about it. How is that NOT ‘a classic’?
But that got me thinking- I cite THE BELGARIAD (and THE MALLOREON, its sequel series) as one of my influential works. But what is that influence? I know I’ve read the whole series several times. My copies of the books are in terrible shape.

THE IMPORTANCE OF PRE-ORDERING BOOKS:
A lot of people hear the term "pre-order" and shudder with horror--and rightfully so. I think the video games industry has essentially ruined all customer goodwill toward the practice.

But for authors like me, it's critical!
DISCLAIMER: This thread is based on my research and experiences. I try to pay careful attention to what my publishers track and learn the ins and outs of their business. I feel certain that @bhvide and @JonOliverEditor could offer more insight, along with many others in my feed.
Like any company, publishers have a finite amount of resources to spend on the books in their stable. Pre-orders are a way for them to grow that pie and invest more marketing dollars in an otherwise risky proposition. Because, let's face it, books are risky investments!
