Brandon Mull, the author of Fablehaven

Monday night Izak had a baseball game smack dab in the middle of our FHE time. So we all went. It was fun the little kids didn't watch much but did play on the playground without too much trouble from bullies. Yep, they are everywhere! I had to pick up Timo from lacrosse and meet the rest of the family there. Emily ran up to me, "Mom, look who's behind me!!! Brandon Mull!" I looked, "oh, yes it is! Cool." You may wonder who he is is, he is actually a New York Times bestseller, he writes the fantasy books Fablehaven and he lives in Utah. His nephew is on Izak's baseball team so he was there supporting him. I took a picture of him with the team after, it's not the greatest but still something! (He is in the green shirt & cap). Emily finally got her nerve up and went over and talked to him. Apparently she is friends with him on Facebook! His nephew is also in Emily's musical theater class and is playing her love interest, Robert! So who knows, Brandon may be at her performance! He has been interviewed a lot lately since he just released his 4th book in the Fablehaven Series. He is really nice, life must get crazy for him. People were having him sign books for him after the game. He was very nice about it too. He is going to do some book signing for the team at the end of the season. I better get copies--we've only recently discovered him, Emily has read all the books borrowed from our neighbor. But I promised I would buy all of them so Izak could read them this summer--anything to keep him reading! So I haven't read them yet but I think I just might this summer!
