I’ll be at Words bookstore in Maplewood, New Jersey on Thursday, October 18th at the kid-friendly hour of 4pm. I’ll be doing a reading, which I’ve never done before – so if you want to hear me mangle a pirate accent, this would be the place to go.

Two days later and slightly further south, I’ll be at the Tweens Read Book Festival in Houston, Texas on Saturday, October 20th from 10am onward. It’s a big event with a lot of great authors doing panel discussions throughout the day, so if you like books, are somewhere in the neighborhood of grade 5-8, and live in Houston, come on by.

Also, it’s free. So there’s that.
