In exactly two months, I will be celebrating the release of
Lunch Lady and the Picture Day Peril by offering free virtual comic workshops throughout the day! We'll all write one big ol' comic together and learn more about the medium of comics. LL #8 will have published one week prior, so come armed with a few questions about Lunch Lady's latest adventure!

Yesterday, I dropped my daughter off at preschool and then I travelled to Washington, Oregon, California, Nebraska, Arizona, Texas, Idaho, Colorado, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Florida, Virginia, Ohio, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Delaware, New Jersey, Alabama, New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Maine—at least that's what I can remember off the top of my head. And then when I was finished up with my book talks on the latest Lunch Lady book, I was home in time to tuck my daughter into bed.
I love living int he future.
Thank you to all who connected for the Virtual Book Talk for
Lunch Lady and the Mutant Mathletes!
I'm not certain exactly how UStream's metrics work, but on average there were about 50 people signed in to watch each book talk. While I'm live, I can see who is signed in, but I'm not too sure how many people watched, but didn't sign in to chat. Most signed in from a classroom or library, however a few watched on their own. Averaging all of that out, there were about 40 sets of eyeballs behind each "live viewer". There is no way to know for certain, but this could mean that I spoke to about 14,000 young readers throughout the day. All from the comfort of my studio. I'm astounded that there is that much of an interest to watch me yap away about my books. But I can tell you with certainty—I'm incredibly grateful.
Here are a few pictures that I pulled from the Twitters and blogosphere.

On October 11th, you are invited to zoom into the studio in celebration of Ollie the Purple Elephant's publication. Every hour on the hour from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., I will be hosting live storytimes and Q & A sessions via UStream.TV. I'm looking forward to sharing my new picture book with classrooms, libraries, home-schoolers, book aficionados, and readers everywhere! Check out the Ollie Virtual Storytime page on my website for more information.And don't forget, you can order your signed copy of Ollie from the Odyssey Bookshop!
Check out this awesome drawing by Amiee! I visited Aimee's school virtually, so getting this drawing was especially cool. It's just so neat to see that the kids are getting just as pumped up about writing and drawing with my virtual visits as they do with my in-person school visits.
Do you have a note or a drawing that you'd like to share? I would love to see them!
They can be emailed to me via [email protected] or mailed to: Jarrett J. Krosoczka
