Upload your pic to TinyPic, copy the "IMG Code for Forums & Message Boards", and paste into your post. No need to use the Img button above as it already has the required thingy.

Ah at last this the picture of JAL at the book signing. He is a very pleasant person to meet. He was with other authors signing books, but it was very funny a big que of people were lining up infront of him waiting for him to sign their book, but there was nobody for the other authors. He was with his wife and when I asked about Eli in the book he said that at first Eli was much more terrable but on advice from his wife he rewrote and toned down Eli a bit. I only have one photo because my camera broke down and it was a big problem to get this one photo, I had to try many times.. JAl is much thinner than you would expect from photo's. I am going to post in ' Little Star ' about my experience reading this book in two days, I could not put it down.

A NOTE SENT TO WOLFCHIELD...
Thanks.. but I have worked out how to post pictures. When I got to the book signing I stood in a que to see JAL. There was one que all to JAL and missing the other 4 authers who were sitting at the same table to sign books..Well it just shows his fame..When aai at last came to him I was carring 7 books and he asked who I was and was very surprised when I told him ' We the infected '..But then I got toung tied and could not remember what to ask him...When he was signing I asked him about some foto's,, and he said 'Yes of course' .. When I went to take the photo the camera mode started to turn back to the start screen. I tried many times with out success.. I went to an other part of the shop and after a bit of fiddiling I got the camera to work after a fashion..So I went back to JAL and quickly got one photo and it was a good one..Then the phone started switching back again. So I stopped.. JAL's wife was there and when I asked him eventualy where did he get Eli from as Oskar was really himself..He said that origionaly Eli was much more powerfull in the book and when his wife read it he had to rewrite and rewrite until it was toned down..And his wife was listening to the conversation and agreeing to it..
I just wonder in what way was Eli more powerfull..We will have to see the notes. : ??? (how do you insert a smilie)
