Spellbound Book Tour
Dearly Beloved You Guys:
So, I’m nearly halfway through my pediatrics rotation and loving it. The kids are, as to be expected, unbelievably cute. More on that later. Possibly much later. Now I’ve very excited to announce Spellbound’s book tour. This year it’s looking like I’ll be running up and down the left side of the country; however, Stanford has graciously given me some time away from the hospital, so if you know of a bookstore, book club, or school that would be especially keen on having me come talk or read, let me know and I might be able to make it somewhere near or at least closer to you.
Meanwhile, here’s the schedule. I will be signing first editions US hardbacks at all the bookstores and most will be selling them online. Links provided. I’ll be trying to put together small get together’s before or after so that I an get a coffee/beer/sarsaparilla with anyone who wants to chat. Lemme know if you’re keen!
- Friday, September 16th, Launch party at Kepler’s Books, Menlo Park, CA
- Tuesday, September 20th, Powell’s Books, Beaverton, OR
- Wednesday, September 21st, U of W Bookstore, Seattle, WA Friday,
- The Signed Page, Seattle, WA *Signed by me and cover artist Todd Lockwood
- September 23rd, Mysterious Galaxy, San Diego, CA
In other news, I did the usual requesting, charming, begging to get ARCs into the hands into as many reviewers as possible. So if you asked for one, hopefully it’s gotten there already or it’s on the way.

Not sure how these things work, but Sam Wellers downtown is pretty cool if you like independent book stores. http://www.samwellers.com/ But does being small and independent mean they have less money to host these events? I’ve been to a Brandon Sanderson signing there, but he lives locally and could just drive up.

Hi Blake,
If you ever come to Belgium, be sure to schedule it during ‘De Boekenbeurs’ (Antwerp). I’ll be there to get the dutch version of Spellbound signed.
Have fun on the US tour!

Hi Nico, I would _love_ to go to Belgium. I was able to visit only once as a child, but I’ve been saving my nickles and dimes and hopefully next year I’ll make it to Europe!

Now that it’s getting closer to the date, I’m wondering if you have any other SF Bay Area locations in mind besides Menlo Park.

There may be an SFinSF event in October…but I can’t swear to it. In fact, maybe I should email the grand kahuna of that event…

I enjoyed the SFinSF event you did with Gail Carriger. I hope you can make another one.

Thank you kindly, Ronny. Sadly, it looks like the SFinSF scheduling isn’t going to work this year. Don’t know if I’ll do one later in the year (maybe with Gail again) but will keep it posted here. It’s a wonderful event.
