I’m headed there later this week in support of the picture book I wrote and Mark Pett illustrated called The Very Last Castle (pre-order here).
Are you going? It’s easy: just book a flight to New York and then follow the crowd of people who look like they might use the word “obsequious” in casual conversation.

And this is something new: I’ll be signing early copies of The Very Last Castle on Friday, June 1 @ 4:00pm in Autographing Area table #12. Stop by and say hello!

^ very intriguing comment, that one. I cannot figure out what’s going on here. 🙂
Have fun at BEA, Travis. Wish I could be there!
Ha! Thanks you! Yeah, that one got through the snap filter I guess.
