Appearances/News

Note: I don’t schedule my own appearances. If you want me to appear somewhere, get in touch the publicity department at Simon & Schuster. Normally, I only tour once a year, when my books come out (in October).

There are no more appearances in the Leviathan tour. However, I will go on tour again in October 2010, when book 2 in the series, Behemoth, comes out. I don’t know where I’ll be going then, so watch this space for details.
