Brad Meltzer
Today Rocks. Brad Meltzer just posted his tour dates. In the comics world he wrote “Ideneity Crisis” and is doing a 13 issue run on “JLofA.” To the rest of the world he is a New York Times best selling Author. His new book “The Book of Fate” comes out on Sept. 6th and I already have an ARC Proof copy that I’m reading.
Giving Meltzer even more props was that he was executive producer on “Jack and Bobby” the TV show that aired two seasons ago on The WB. The writing on it was amazing.
I sent some emails back and forth with him in June and he gave me the number of his publicist. Hopefully I can set up a meeting with him while he’s in the DC area. He will be here from Sept. 6th through the 9th. So I'm excited.

Just worked it all out. I'm meeting with him on Sept. 6th at 6p.m. in D.C. and then going with him to his book signing. I'm also getting another book sent to me in advance and a press kit! I told the publicist that I could just get a copy off the internet and she said it would be no trouble sending it to me one. I'll going to have to buy a third one at the book signing so I don't feel guilty.

I'm extremely jealous that you have an advance copy...
Though, as an unabashed television news junkie, I have to say, Jack and Bobbie only lasted one season.

With the horrible ratings it had, it HAD to be a well written show for The WB to keep it for a full season. The critics loved it, but it just didn't catch on with The WB audience. I'm still holding hope that a DVD will comeout someday.

Jack & Bobby was one of those shows that never made it up to peasent vision in rural Alberta. And it was also before the time when I could easily download shows onto my computer.
But I've heard it's pretty good, and Greg Berlanti was a part of it, so there's more than likely some merit to that..

This is SO awesome! It's great to make contacts like Metzler. Become good friends and then convince him he needs to do a signing in Wisconsin, preferably at Neptune Comics.
