Evil Librarian Pub Day and Blog Tour!

IT'S EVIL LIBRARIAN PUB DAY!!!!!!!!!!!! I am super excited. Can you tell that I am super excited?



That means today is the day you can find EVIL LIBRARIAN out in the world, ideally in your favorite local independent bookstore, but also in various other bookselling places and libraries (except maybe evil ones).

It ALSO means that today is the first day of the EVIL LIBRARIAN BLOG TOUR! You can find me at my first stop on the tour: over at Liza Wiemer's WhoRuBlog.

Here's the whole list of blog tour stops for the next week or so. I hope you'll come visit me along the way!

September 9: WhoRuBlog (Guest Post)

September 10: Random Chalk Talk (Guest Post)

September 11: Books 4 Your Kids (Q&A)

September 12: Green Bean Teen Queen (Guest Post)

September 13: Elizabeth O. Dulemba (Guest Post)

September 15: Katie's Book Blog (Guest Post)

September 16: Word Spelunking (Guest Post)

September 17: Book Chic Club (Q&A)

If you've already read the book, or whenever you do read it, please consider posting reviews on Goodreads, Barnes and Noble, Amazon, your local library website, etc.! Reviews are a great way to help spread the word (and help authors that you like to reach more readers). I also welcome comments on this blog, and you can email me through my website, as well.

I would also like to give a shared-pub-day shout out to fellow authors Caroline Carlson, whose second book in The Very Nearly Honorable League of Pirates series, The Terror of the Southlands, comes out today, and Matt Phelan, whose lovely picture book Druthers comes out today, too!

Rochester Children's Book Festival!

The wonderful Rochester Children's Book Festival is happening tomorrow, November 10, at Monroe Community College in Rochester, NY! I've been going to this festival for more than a decade and it is always super fun and awesome. It runs from 10am to 4pm, and there are readings and activities and fun all day long! Talk to some amazing authors and illustrators, get some signed books, pick up free goodies (mini monster trucks! bunny pens! temporary tattoos!) and lots, lots more!

The festival is free and open to the public, and features authors and illustrators of books for children, middle graders, and teens. Click the link above for more info. I hope to see you there!

PEN conversation with Rebecca Stead!

Last month at the wonderful Brooklyn Book Festival, Susanna Reich moderated a discussion between me and Newbery-winning author Rebecca Stead at the PEN American Center booth. We talk about writing and ideas and editing and lots of other things; you can listen to the conversation here:

You may have to turn the volume up when I'm talking - I'm not really that quiet, but I think I had my mic clipped on too far away. :)
