Us in Austin and Tyler

April 16th, 2007

Hey, sorry for no posting. (Just. Finished. BOOK.) We’ve been having a great time in Texas.

All the folks at TLA were so amazing and welcoming, and as I’m a native Texian, there were some cool surprises. One of the librarians from my past brought my ancient 8th Grade yearbook. Two things about that:

1) Go Warriors ‘77!
2) Picture of me = ouch.

Also, my own high school librarian showed up! She’s still at good old Booker T., and we had lunch and talked about old times.

Here’s my schedule for the next three days:

Monday
Appearance in Austin
April 16, 7PM
Justine Larbalestier & Scott Westerfeld
BookPeople
603 N. Lamar (at Sixth)
Austin, TX

Tuesday
Visit Grandma

Wednesday
Appearance in Tyler, TX
April 18, 1:15 p.m.
Justine Larbalestier & Scott Westerfeld
Bishop T.K. Gorman Middle School
Open to public! Click here for directions.

That is all.

    WHOO! FIRST POST!!
    You do lots of signings in Texas. Why? I mean, I know that you grew up there but do you do as many signings in New York and Austraila?

    Cool, so, have you decided Aya-La or -Wa?
    Were the warriors were like, your school team, or something, right?

    and how about us, ‘M’, you should do some signings in England.

    sorry, the last post sounded a bit weird, what i meant was that Scott should do more book signings and stuff in England, because he never does.

    Awesome! Hey! My friend lives around there, I think o.o Of course she hasn’t read any of your books at all =P I’ve been trying to force her to read Midnighters – or else when we meet in collage – which is our plan – I’ll shove the book in her face – and possibly down her throat if she refuses to read it ^^

    We plan to go to the same collage if we can and meet there :D

    and, I’m sorry to the rest of y’all but I would appreciate it if you didn’t post anything from “Extras,” I like your new books to stay new until I read them. :)

    But Allen thinks it should be called “The Seer” But that has nothing to do with Extras o.o

    But that’s beside the point. I’m just soooo friggin’ excited and I’m wondering what Scott – or Justine – will look at first, a blog comment or the email I sent them xD

    Comparatively, you’re not that young Kim. I am 11, which is very officially Just A Kid. And I am short. Which does not help. People always seem to say, “Did you skip a grade or something?”

    And I glare at them. (I think in Midnighters 2 Melissa said “Glaring was good for making stupid people shut up.” Or something like that.)

    This has been a long and meaningless post. I like to rant about stuff like that. :D

    IndigoEyes: I think i would rather be short and be asked if I skipped a grade rather than be tall and asked if you got held back, but I’m actually pretty smart, I have to G.T. classes .

    Shan: My little sister used to swim until her coach tied her feet together for the butterfly and then forgot about her. Oh and also is Shan your real name or part of your last name? There is a kid at my school and his last name is Shanandore but we call him Shan

    Why are we all talking about how old we are? It strikes me as rather odd, seeing as how it has nothing to do with the post. How did it start? Don’t actaully answer that question, folks. I might as well chip in, eh? I turned 14 two weeks ago.

    Lenny: I agree. I like keeping books “new” until I read them (which is why I don’t read spoilers).

    Okay. That’s all I wanted to say.

New Website

As you can see, my website has had its first makeover in many years. This is to celebrate the fact that my first new series in years, Leviathan, comes out this autumn. (October 6, to be exact.)

Things may be wonky for a while as we play around under the hood. But I hope you enjoy the new look. Let me know what you think!
