Year at a glance

Here's a brief overview of upcoming events for this year:

March 12-13 -- I'm the guest author at the UVU Forum on Children's Literature in Orem, Utah, for writers, illustrators, librarians, teachers, parents, and anyone interested in children's lit. It's a two day conference and I've been hard at work on my keynote address. It makes me giggle.

June -- the actor and the housewife hits bookstores! I won't be touring for this book (too hard with two kids and two books!) but will do events around Salt Lake City. Check my events page closer to June for details.

September -- forest born releases! Also, look for a boxed set of the first three Books of Bayern and the paperback of book of a thousand days (new cover...I haven't seen it yet). I'll be doing local events in Utah and leg one of a short book tour, most likely to Vermont, Massachusetts, and perhaps elsewhere in that area.

November -- Second leg of the tour, most likely to Virginia and Philadelphia. As always, I'll list all my events on my site as soon as I know them.

And March-July -- I'll keep plugging away at a first draft of a new book. Super secret. I guess. Maybe not. Maybe I've blabbed about it. But I always feel shy talking about a new book this early in drafting. So far, it's totally different than my other stuff. Okay, I'll say this much--it's contemporary time period, technically science fiction, and first person. Possibly a trilogy. Wow, I revealed a lot. Now I'm shy...
