One week from tomorrow, Stick will be here.
I read from Stick yesterday at the Orange County Children's Book Festival. It was a really great day, and a beautiful venue for a book festival.

I think one of the things that attracted so many people out was the fact that the college is in a very nice community, and it was easy for thousands of people to manage transportation and parking (which was free and right on site of the event).
Here I am, in fact, wearing my Sex Wax T-Shirt, reading from Stick.
Sitting next to me is the talented Jessi Kirby (Moonglass). Also on my panel were Kirsten Hubbard (Like Mandarin) and Lindsey Leavitt (Sean Griswold's Head).
