Stop by the Allon Books booth where I'll be signing copies of Books 1, 2,3 and preview a video and cover of Book 4 - A Question of Sovereignty, due out August 2011.

While at the booth, sign up for the Allon Books Newsletter and be entered to WIN 1 of 5 signed copies of Book 4. (new emails only) Winners announced August 1, 2011. Also, KIDS, on Friday meet Shannan, the Daughter of Allon and heroine of the series.
