With The Mortons coming out next Tuesday (July 21), Justine and I are headed to San Diego Comic Con! (After our launch party in NYC.)

We have two signings and a panel. Here’s our schedule:

Saturday Jul 25

Making Fiction Real: The Art of Writing Authentic Characters
Room 25ABC
10AM-11AM
We’ve all been there: You crack open a book, and the characters are so realistic, so enthralling, that they walk off the page. Ashley Poston (Someday Garden), Shirlene Obuobi (Die for Me), Scott Westerfeld and Justine Larbalestier (The Mortons), Elise Kova (Prince of Swords), and Chip Pons (Dearly Departed) discuss their craft and compare character-building techniques across genres. Moderated by Haydee Smith.

Signing for the Authentic Characters Panel
Sails Pavillion
6PM–7PM
Autograph Area AA03
This is an open signing, with the authors listed above. We are happy to sign anything you bring!

Sunday, July 26
