Well, hm.
I've been busy editing Book 3 of the Twixt series, but planned to take a break to do something fun for my INVISIBLE tour but then...something unexpected happened. Maybe it was a combination of Halloween, a full moon, some special ninja training and seeing WICKED for my birthday on the 7th, but in any event it seems I've become, well, invisible.
I'm sitting here with my book. You can see the problem...because, well, you can't.
Fortunately, this is perfect for the INVISIBLE Indie Book Tour!
What is the INVISIBLE Indie Book Tour? It's where I get to visit some of the best independent bookstores across the country to promote INVISIBLE hitting the shelves. I'm a *HUGE* fan of indies and love to Pay It Forward so whether you order online at IndieBound or visit your local bookavore hangout, I wanted to do something extra-special for patrons of locally-owned literature shops and drop by...which might be a little awkward given my current non-visibility, but we'll see if we can't pull it off.
I will be appearing in 7 locations across the U.S. At each stop, there will be special incentives for you to go and buy books. Basically, you purchase a copy of my book at these locations & the first 7 people who order get signed swag. Tune in every Monday and Wednesday this month for the next surprise appearance--for lack of a better word--and see if I've come to YOUR local indie! Stop by and get your prize and a few good books for the holiday season. And, even if you're not local, you can call in an order and have it sent to you in the comfort of your very own home. What could be better? (SWAG, that's what!)
Without further ado, I'm at my own local indie, RJ Julia's in Madison, Connecticut. A shore-town fixture for over 25 years, RJ Julia is committed to readers, writers and all things book-ish. They host over 350 book events every year and have an incredibly awesome staff dedicated to "putting the right book in the right hand." It's a beautiful place and I'm surrounded by some of my favorite reads here in the YA section and enjoying take a minute to sit and bask in the moment.
Can you recognize me in the picture? Oh, yeah. Probably not.
You can stop by RJ Julia's or order online at:

Check out where I'll be next on the tour on Wednesday, November 12th. I'd say look for me there--but you won't see me!
