2. My hang-out at the new B&N in Doylestown has been rescheduled — I’m there tomorrow from noon till 2pm! Come say hello! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
3. The auction for five of my books (signed, personalized) in support of Ashland Library in MA is still cooking here<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n 4. Was Monster Movie!<\/strong> named one of the best Halloween books of 2024 by Parade Magazine<\/a>? WHY YES IT WAS. Also it gets a shout out in BookTrib<\/a> for 12 Halloweenie brand-new kid-lit reads for you and, well, your kids. Also your pets. Read to your pets, folks. No I don’t know if that’s a thing. But it should be a thing. A thing you do and put it on instagram or tiktok or something. It’ll be a new trend. It’ll be adorable. Shut up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 5. Reminder to those at NYCC — if you’re there, and you wanna go to the Penguin Random House booth and say the password, “I’m Invoking The Covenant,” they might<\/em> just give you a brand new shiny advanced reader copy of The Staircase in the Woods<\/strong>… <\/p>\n\n\n\n And again, there’s a pre-order page at Doylestown Bookshop to get a signed, personalized copy of the book with unique inscription and other (as yet unnamed) goodies, and you can find that here<\/a>. There’s still a giveaway at Goodreads<\/a>, too. Book hits shelves in April 2025, and already talking to some other authorfolk and bookstores about potential appearances…<\/p>\n\n\n\n 5. Finally, fuck yeah<\/em> there’s a cover for The End Of The World As We Know It:<\/p>\n\n\n\n … and there’s a (loose?) release date too of August 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Really geeked to be a part of this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n ALL RIGHT I GO NOW<\/p>\n\n\n\n *runs up the staircase, disappears*<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I have no idea what that title means.
