SOME NOTES:These are ticketed events (it’s just the price of the book), so you’ll need to sign up in advance. Just as well, you’ll have to google map it and stare at parking apps beforehand too. These are all insanely cool stores that I love very much; come early and browse and absorb the vibes. PLEASE NOTE THAT SOME OF THE EVENTS ARE HELD OFF-SITE. Check your tickets for location.It can be daunting to know what to say to an author once you get to the front of a line—if you’re tongue-tied, you can tell me a favorite luxurious ritual (very on theme with the book, right?) or recommend me a great album or book or tell me a favorite scene from one of mine. Readers sometimes like to bring gifts (aw, thank you), which I appreciate but find difficult to fly with. If you want to give me something (YOU DON’T HAVE TO), just write down that little luxurious ritual mentioned above on a piece of paper for me and maybe we can make something artsy-fartsy with it together by the end of the tour, we’ll see how it goes.I can usually sign some books brought from home, but how many I can sign depends on how long the line is. Pack optimistically, queue realistically.Photos are a-ok unless the lines are very long; the booksellers will usually take your phone from you to take a snap of us together. Please don’t take video yourself while we chatter, or dial up a friend for a shared video call—it’s charming and I understand the appeal, but it activates a different part of my brain, the VIDEO PATTER part, and I prefer to Live In the Moment With You, Etc. If you’re an author, please don’t gift me your book—again, I’m flying to these things, and a LOT of people do this, so I end up with crazy luggage. I won’t be reading on tour anyway; I appreciate bookmarks or just an index card with your title on it.The Williamsburg, VA event is just a signing, no talk beforehand, so plan your timing accordingly!Can’t make it to any of these? You can always order signed copies from One More Page Books, but during the pre-order windows, you can also get any of the books, including backlist, personalized (copies of THE LISTENERS also comes with a bookplate featuring my art, June and the Dachshunds, and copies of THE RAVEN BOYS come with a raven bookplate featuring my art). That dream of a fully signed and personalized Raven Cycle + new copy of THE LISTENERS? Can be achieved! The window for THE LISTENERS to be personalized is closed (you can still order signed copies with the bookplate), but you can still order personalized copies of the graphic novel until June 14!If you can’t make it to one of the UK events (or you really want the UK edition!), you can order signed copies that come with a print of June & the Dachshunds from one of these indies.I will not sign your baby; stop asking. This is not because I don’t want to, but because I know, deep down, that I shouldn’t.

I really appreciate everyone taking the effort to put on pants and find parking to come see me, and I’m really excited to be seeing you all again.

Until then, dachshunds.
