Shadow Mountain Publishing, a general-interest publisher noted for its line of children’s and children’s fantasy books (its tagline: “We don’t just print books, we publish dreams”), has a full lineup of authors scheduled for signings, including Brandon Mull, author of two fantasy series; actress Jane Seymour; and one half of the two-woman cooking blog “Our Best Bites,” Sara Wells.
An imprint of the Mormon-centered Deseret Book, Shadow Mountain specializes in values-based titles. “We strive to entertain, but our books all have a positive message,” says director of marketing Gail Halladay. “We want to enlighten minds and enrich lives.” Among the house’s bestselling titles are Mull’s Fablehaven and Beyonders series. “Our fantasy series have always been very successful,” Halladay says.
Shadow Mountain has an impressive lineup of its authors in the autographing area and at its booth (3039).
