The Bookstore Trip! [Bran Hambric]

[IizScoPez]

Hey Kaleb - I'm 11 and writing a novel, so far on two hundred pages and still writing, do you have any tips on how to get it published that would help. Thanks

[DAN5675able]

@IizScoPez I'm writer myself and I want to say this. Make sure you study the plot of the story you want to write. Think of the character and their appearance and put them into exact detail. Think of the location and everything that is going on around them. Be descriptive about everything that you can find, and it will turn out to be a great story.

What is the title of your book?

[TowerOfTerror99]

Im writeing book also , but i think i not gonna see my book in bookstore .... :( but hope they make movie of your book! :D

[DAN5675able]

I hope your books turn into movies.

[TheMinusGirl]

hey Kaleb do they have this book in Canada?

[ThyLoverBoy]

[mcflymaniacoftheyear]

I ordered the book like 15 mins ago online off whsmith hehe woo I cant wait for it to arrive !!! ty kaleb *huugg*

[MidnightThief15]

OMG! You did one of the things from the video of the top five things you would do if you became a published author (actually, the term was really, really, really, really, really famous author). Lol. I can't believe you actually did that! That was amazing! Totally BAMF!!!!! :D

[TNEBMgirl]

gfu!!!

[milka4chocolate]

why did you buy that copy? I mean you already have like over ten copies or something xD

[GeekVids909]

probably for his own amusment! XD

[milka4chocolate]

haha I got your book a few days ago. It's in my book shelf now.. but I couldn't read it yet. I have to read like three other books first, but then I will come to yours ;)

[NerdGirlCartoonist94]

[WoLfGiRrl1415]

JUST BOUGHT THE BOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[XleeuhhhX]

[JulietandRomeo4ever]

Fireflies! I love Owl City!

I also love Bran Hamrick and the farfield curse!

[kyliesmiley16]

Ommmg so excited for you!! :D Must be SO awesome just to be able to see your own book in print, let alone on the shelves at bookstores!! Haha congrats on ticking one thing off your To-Do list :P So funny if they caught you on tape!

[toridriggers]

I'm so proud of you.

I cant wait to see my book on the shelves when I finish it.

Kudos to the song!

[BricePash]

Gratz dude :).

[Gdschild]

[Jatagi23]

[ithinkitsasock27]

I'm so jealous now! I want a signed copy :D!

[twilightfanpire108]

im getting your book to write an essay for my english class my teacher is so strict about our essay's so i hope i do a good job! im going to make a video once i finish reading the book and when i write my essay.

[orangeporanges]

I love that song!

Fireflies.

[Sakura2miaka]

Congrats on being able to do one of the things that you wanted to do once you became an author... I would love to be able to do that! Sadly I'm not working on any kind of book right now XD

Will you be secretly signing more books? LOL not that I'd be able to find one since I'm here all the waaay in rainy Dublin, Ireland! LOL

[Dancergirl1394]

dude, i went to the bookstore on friday and that book was not there! i was so mad!

[LoLsproduction101]

kaleb i went to my barnes and nobles and they had 4 of ur books :) soooo naturally i went and bought to (even tho i have one at home) im gonna give them to my friends who i know will luv the book asw much as i do :) luv ur book kaleb big fan im potterstar btws from ur liveblog :)

[reinix]

glad to see you crossed something off on the list of things you wanna do as a famous author ;D

[beccaboo147]

i wanna read it just because its by u lol

[foreveryoung1901]

omg imagine being a regular person who buys the book then finds the autograph!!!!

OMG I WOULD CRY AND BE LIKE SOMEONE FOGED IT! IT CAN'T BE!!!!!!!!!!

[MyEdwardisinForks]

HAHA that was so funny

[Sweetdreamer924]

That was great. Luv ya Kaleb!

[weesa91]

I saw your book in WHSmith in Spalding, England. It was so strange seeing it there!

[ReturnedSecrets]

I looks like the Barns And Noble I go to . . . YAHOO!

[WildlifeAB09]

Haha...I would totally do that if I was an author...just go to random bookstores and sign one of my own books. That's awesome. I hope your book takes off. I'm reading it now..its really good. Congrats Kaleb.

[thenonperson]

wow, i cant tell you how excited i am for you. i hope this takes off!

[FireAngel42]

haha I wish it was the one in my neighborhood.. but we have like 3 nearby and it doesn't look anything like the one I go to.. not to mention I live in a small city compared to most. In fact no one really knows about it until you say, "Yeah It's Next To Anaheim."

[mizz0michelle]

Haha, that looks like the bookstore in my city :), and i live in CA

[chelseachee32]

Haha, that's pretty cool. That gives me the idea that if I ever put a book out, I'm going to do that exactly same thing! Someone would be so proud to buy that book then...

[crafterika455]

yay kalebbb :]]

[allyoftherain]

... why couldn't you have stayed in Dallas and signed a copy in a bookstore there? I could've gotten one in Dallas!

Anyway... I found this video rather hilarious and I've read your book already and loved it.  :D

[BellaCullen2424]

might it happen to be in palmdale or lancaster or anywhere nere there?!?!?! cause that one looks familier

[DCWren247]

This has to be one of my favorite videos so far.

[HPFangirl71]

That was a totally cool thing to do!! Wish it was my copy tho... I am on like chapter 12 and cant wait to finish reading it but I tend to read more than one book at a time and Im also reading Vampire Diaries, trying to catch up on those cuz the series just came to tv!! Your book is soooo good tho Kaleb, I totally love it and it will definitely be one of those I reread again and again!!♥

[skyeblueeyes]

must go to barns at noble ._.

[ililmisssunny]

OHMYGOD!

I wish I was in California!

I just got my copy yesterday-- I can't put it down!

Right now my hands are shaking.. YOU SIGNED IT?!?! OHMYGOD. I WANT ONE OF THOSE AUTOGRAPHED BOOKS.

*faints*

You're so nice! Most authors probably wouldn't go to a bookstore and sign their books... Haha... I bet it's gonna be a national bestseller!

[yYTwilightGirlYy]

im getting it Monday!!!

[moonflower911]

kewl i wish i have the sighned copy

[OnceUponALife1014]

I went to Indigo on 9/9/09 and they didn't have it, they said they'd call when they got the shipment in but it still hasn't arrived. They also said it might be a ppublisher issue or mess up or something all i know was that i was not impressed :p

[ReadrGurlReviews]

i stood right where you guys were standing a week ago!!!! ;]

[Wiish]

I got my copy today!!! (pre-ordered it from amazon :D)

[xchelzx]

[thornfang]

Congrats Kaleb that is so awesome! I LOVE your book so much! <3

[AssassinateApril]

omg the persn that buys that book is extremely lucky

[Eviltypewriter]

i dont know y, but this makes me like u more??? its probably cause some authors dont even care about the readers.

[xinwen4]

[magsorrell13]

I wish u had signed a book in Texas!!! I couldv found that one!!!

[animals89010]

WOW! I congrats kaleb! I kno u must be happy! If not, then we, the fans, are happy for u! Love ya!

[Totchi85]

Haha, that's so amazing, Kaleb. When you made that video saying you would actually sign a random copy, I'd have never believed that you'd actually do that! XD IDK why, but that made you even more likeable to me :)

[GoCrazyGreen]

i wanna read your books. you seem like a good writer.

[KieraNutter]

i finished it yesterday. IT IS AMAZING! Well done! PS PLEASE COME TO IRELAND!!!!

[purplestreakpunk]

[LopsidedDream]

[samablue38]

[meladela]

[learrrockzz]

[Flweep]

[twizardluver]

[trickushica007]

[abbyll]

[hoppyiscute]

[bombmistro]

you probably just boosted the sales of your book in California by like a lot because it is like the golden ticket

[potterblotter]

so sad i couldn't make it to get it the day it cam out But Im Going This Weekend I SWARE!!!! kaleb you should come to kellowna bc canada and sign a copy and ill go buy it and brag about it to all my friends lol

[rampartlion079]

All I have to say Kaleb is that a) I was in a book store yesterday and I touched your book and it ws very impressive and book-like and b) if I had just finished the laborious process of writing a book and getting it published, and I was going to write a message in a real copy of my book, I would probably try and write something more awesome :) just saying

[LalalalalaLauren75]

I'm seven chapters into awesome!!!

[CallistaMacLeod]

YAY!!! You did one of the things on your "If I Ever Became a Really, Really Famous Author" List!!!

...I want it.

But I can't complain. I just bought my copy a few hours ago. Super!Epic.

[tallblondnloud]

wait what part of ca r u in cause that barns and noble looks mighty familuar

[soontobesuperstar123]

Ugh you are so lucky you have a book. How did you get a publisher to sign it?

If it is you are my motivation to write my own story.

[ipanda2]

where in CA?

[TotallyTwitastic]

Thats the AMC Promenade on topanga I think. Like I'm almost tempted to go check.

[Jamie0Savanna]

you had already inspired me to write a book and im working on that right now. hopefully if i get mine published, ill be a super sneaky ninja and sign mine too:)

[fudgie10]

I KNOW WHERE YOU ARE!

ohmigoshh; i think i'm right; but i wont say(:

[fluffstars]

[midnightxsun18]

It's so exciting! I would die if I saw a book of my creation on a bookshelf in Barnes and Noble, gah! To dream...

Congratulations! I can't wait to get a copy.

[nayeliakaleli]

[nirvanachick05]

man thats big in phila. at ceil b moore its all small

[playmythemesong]

I now I think bookstores should have virtual bookshelves where you can act like you're looking at a bookshelf with all the books and cover shown and legible. And they should def. have music playing. I don't know about you, but I would adore that.

[TwilightUnplugged]

LMAO "I hope no one sees this"

And then you go and post your crime on youtube, good going Kaleb. :P

- Ilana

PS: Well, that'll be one lucky kid (:

[iHartMusicGrl]

For some stupid reason my parents won't let me drive all the way to Illinois to see you!

[coopersmypup]

That looks like the B&N near my house and I live in CA! Now I want to go and see if it's there!

[kaitipants]

OMG! I want to get a copy! NO FREAKING WAY!

[x0x0tayx0x0]

whoever gets that book is soo lucky! i wish you would sign my book Kaleb but there are no cities near me on your book tour :(

[Maikezxt]

Haha, "This is certainly the section it would be..."

Wish I lived in California. I'm so jealous of who ever gets it!!

[AriaInTheSky]

One lucky kid will get a random message from Kaleb himself and will be like, "AWESOME!" lol

[RandomADro]

I was SOOOOOOO upset when I went to the book store in Barrheavn and they didn't have the book!! :( SO I order it ;)

[IrkenEliteLana]

[mvrkfn101]

Hey, Kaleb! Haha I've yet to purchase the book (but I will today or tomorrow) =] but I just wanted to say that behind you when you were signing the book was the tenth Pendragon book, which is quite possibly the best series EVER! (Yours could pass it up, though.) ;) But yeah I just thought it was pretty funny that D.J. MacHale, the author of Pendragon, who commented on Bran Hambric, had his books in the background (though you probably noticed). Okey dokey well I guess I'll go get BH! :D

[twiheart96]

I just bought the book yesterday and I love it

[toasthasbutter]

*wants to be that lucky winner*
