Weekend appearances in Ontario

Hi local friends! This weekend I have two public appearances close to home. I will be hanging out in the teens section at Chapters Kitchener from 1 - 3 on Saturday, with awesome authors RJ Anderson and EK Johnston. RJ has a new middle grade magical murder mystery, A Pocket Full of Murder. Kate has a smashing Ancient Near East fantasy called A Thousand Nights, which isn't even out yet, but which (shhhh..., don't tell) will actually be available at this event. We'll be talking books and helping you find new reads -- not necessarily ours. (Fair warning: Kate is super excited about some Star Wars thing.)

On Sunday, assuming Kate and I haven't come to blows about the Star Wars thing, we will be launching each other's books at Bakka Phoenix in Toronto, starting at 2:00. Come one, come all! Hear about why goats are the magical secret to good YA!
