Events!

by admin on April 16, 2013

LA people, I’ll be doing two events this week to celebrate the impending release of JANE AUSTEN GOES TO HOLLYWOOD (and to celebrate books in general):

- Thursday, 7pm LAPL Young Adult reading series, at the LAPL main branch downtown. A fun panel with Lauren Miller, Anna Carey, and Karen Sandler, moderated by Cecil Castellucci.

- LA Times Festival of Books. A two-day extravaganza at the USC campus. I’ll be at the YA stage at 10.30am on Sunday, discussing modern Cinderella stories with the fabulous Fug girls (Jessica Morgan and Heather Cocks), and Paul Rudnick. Signing afterwards.

Hope to see you there!
