Reason #16 to attend Mountain-Con 4

Reason #16 to attend Mountain-Con:
Brandon Mull, author of the Fablehaven book series

We at Mountain-Con are constantly working to bring you the best convention this side of ... well, anywhere. You never know who will be on the guest list next. This week we have the pleasure of announcing that Brandon Mull, author of "The Candy Shop War" and the "Fablehaven" series will join us at Mountain-Con. (Thanks to brandonmull.com for the image.)

Fablehaven is about a couple of children who discover that their grandfather is the caretaker of a nature preserve for magical creatures. (Check out fablehaven.com for more information.) These novels have been so popular that the third Fablehaven book, "Grip of the Shadow Plague", debuted on the New York Times Best Seller list at #3, and knocked off J. K. Rowling's final Harry Potter novel, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" off in the process (after 180 weeks). (Additional information available at www.meridian magazine.com, www.brandonmull.com, and www.fablehaven.com.)
The fourth Fablehaven book is due for release April 2009.

According to Mr. Mull's Web site, the Fablehaven book series has been optioned (for movie rights) by Mr. Avi Arad...the director behind the Spiderman and X-Men movies. As with everything in Hollywood, you never know until it happens...and we wish Mr. Mull good luck. ("The Candy Shop War" has also been optioned.)

Because of his (understandably) busy schedule, Mr. Brandon Mull is able to be with us only for one full day: Saturday, September 20th. He will do a Question & Answer session and will sign his books at that time. Mr. Mull has also agreed to attend our "Banquet with the Stars" on Friday evening.

So...get your tickets now by visiting www.mountaincon.org, and be on the lookout for additional guests to be announced over the next few weeks.

(Reminder: Pre-sale tickets for an adult, 3-day Mountain-Con VI pass are $40. After August 31st, we will discontinue the pre-sale registration and sell tickets at the door for $45. Single-day rates are also available at the door.)
