Hello friends! I seem to have pulled something in my neck whilst travelling, so this will be brief. I’m going to be at the Emerald City Comicon in Seattle this weekend, speaking on two panels:

Saturday, March 28th, 2:30-3:30pm, Hall B (WSCC 602-603) Level 6

Beyond the Children’s Section: Young adult novels require more than a teenage protagonist. Learn the specific characteristics of the YA market and how to weave them into your narrative, with authors Lisa Mantchev, Holly Black, Arwen Elys Dayton, Rachel Hartman, and Aaron Michael Ritchey.

Sunday, March 29th, 2:30-3:30pm, same room

Reinventing Iconic Monsters: How do you take an ancient monster and make it new? Panelists Naomi Novik, Rachel Hartman, and Isaac Marion will discuss how they’ve turned time-worn tropes upside-down to create fresh and engaging stories.

There will be a signing after each event at JJ 10/11, books provided by University Bookstore.

I hope to see some of you there! And now I have to go lie down some more. Stupid neckbones.
