THE MONSTROUS ADVENTURES OF MUMMY MAN AND WAFFLES by me (Steve Behling) and illustrator Robb Mommaerts is number 720 on the Amazon Children’s Halloween Books list! WOOOOOOO!!!!

It’s every kid’s dream to be #720, and we fully embrace it. Now, only [counts quietly to self] 719 spots to go until we’re number one!

In the meantime, we need one of those “We’re #1!” foam gloves but it has 720 fingers and says, “We’re #720!”

Let’s hang out this Sunday, September 1st, at 4pm EST — I’ll be a part of Books of Wonder’s Chapter Book Magic panel with authors Frances Hardinge, Bernard Mensah, and Adam Rex!

HEAR me read an excerpt from the new spooky/humor middle-grade book by me and Robb Mommaerts, The Monstrous Adventures of Mummy Man and Waffles!

THRILL to the sensationally silly antics of Mummy Man and Frank the turtle!

SEE what I *GASP* actually look like!

It’s a bonanza of bandaged goodness!

Oh, and you can also order a SIGNED copy of Mummy Man from Books of Wonder by clicking HERE. Hope to see you Sunday!

Written by me and illustrated by Robb Mommaerts!

The Monstrous Adventures of Mummy Man and Waffles, a thrilling, ridiculous middle-grade romp full of monsters, mummies, and a turtle named Frank, debuts August 6! And you can pre-order it here — or ask your local librarian to order it so you can read it! If you like the nonsense I write here, if you have any kids in your life, then I think you’ll all enjoy this book, featuring incredible illustrations by Robb Mommaerts. And if you could spread the word, that would be amazing, too! Every bit helps!

Great Magnificent Mummies! The Monstrous Adventures of Mummy Man and Waffles just went on sale today, and it’s already out of stock at Amazon! (You can still order, you’ll just get your book a little later!)

I did not expect this kind of response. Thanks, unpaid interns!!!
