On July 22, I had my official book launch for Other at Uppercase Books, and it was fab! I’ll let the photos speak for themselves:
Why, of course I had to pose beneath the sign.
And pose with the fab people of Uppercase Books!
The pretty display of Other copies.
Me, going “Hmmm…” during the Q&A. Avec la Pooka!
The audience, actually intrigued by my “Hmmm…”
Author Mindi Scott dropped by. Go Tenners!
So did book blogger Sarah and her sister Elizabeth!
For those who couldn’t make it out to Snohomish, WA for the Uppercase Books signing, never fear! I’ll be signing Other and schmoozing with readers in Olympia, WA (my college town!) at Orca Books on August 14, from noon to 3 pm. More info here. Hope to see you there!
A bell jingles when I push open the door. I inhale the familiar musty scent—I always think it smells like secrets, if they have a smell. Ranks of rainbow books crowd the shelves. A ginger cat lounges in a square of sunlight.
Maybe you’re curious to visit the inspiration for the used bookstore where Tavian works in Other. Well, now’s your chance to find out! On Thursday, July 22nd, from 6:30pm to 8:00pm, visit Uppercase Books in my hometown of Snohomish, Washington for the official book launch for Other. I will be there signing copies, giving away bookmarks, and parading the Pooka toy. Hope to see you there!
Now that all my ALA photos are posted, here are my After ALA photos… first, obviously, I need to sort all my loot and cackle over my spoils. We wants more Bookses.
Since I’ve been visiting family after my return, my mom took the opportunity of Other’s release to bake a pooka birthday cake. Yes, you read that right. A Pooka Birthday Cake.
My mom is made of awesome.
Me, photographing the event.
