Need a gift idea for a teen in your life?

Be a Changemaker gift wrapped

Last Fri­day, I had the great plea­sure of par­tic­i­pat­ing in the Annu­al Hol­i­day & Ben­e­fit Par­ty at Park­place Books, a love­ly inde­pen­dent book­store in Kirk­land, WA. The event was fes­tive and well attend­ed, and I had the chance to talk with some of my favorite local authors as well as many of the cus­tomers who came in to see us.
I also got to sign a lot of books: it seems Be a Change­mak­er is a hit for hol­i­day gift giving!

For the teens (and adults) on your list, you can buy BE A CHANGEMAKER at your local inde­pen­dent book­store (find them on IndieBound), or online at Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble, or Powell’s.
And, if you need more book­ish gift ideas for teens this hol­i­day sea­son, check out this post from the Teen Librar­i­an’s Tool­box on how to buy books for the teens (or any­one, real­ly) on your shop­ping list.
Hap­py holidays!

Indies First 2014, this Saturday!

Indie's first logo
 
For the hol­i­day 2014 sea­son, best­selling author Neil Gaiman and musi­cian-author Aman­da Palmer called upon their fel­low authors to get behind Indies First and “vol­un­teer” at book­stores on Small Busi­ness Sat­ur­day (Nov. 29).
I could­n’t choose just one inde­pen­dent book­store to hang out in (we’re lucky to have so many to choose from where I live!), so I’ll be doing two shifts:

I’ll be sign­ing copies of BE A CHANGEMAKER and rec­om­mend­ing a few of my oth­er favorites, and I’ll be in great com­pa­ny with many oth­er local authors and illus­tra­tors. So, if you’re in the area, please stop by and say, “Hi!”
If you’re not in the area, be sure to check out the inter­ac­tive Indies First map to find a par­tic­i­pat­ing store near you!
