I’m more than halfway through the book tour for Atlantis Lost – and what an adventure it has been! I’ve been to 6 cities in 5 states and have been thrilled to meet so many of you and sign your books. And I’ve had some fun experiences along the way, too: I did a Writers’ Workshop at the Book Stall in Winnetka, IL, and I went Live on Facebook for the very first time from that event as well as from the event the following day at Anderson’s in Naperville. If you want to check out those two videos, you can find them on my Facebook page or follow these links: Winnetka Event or Naperville Event.

Hugging a big stack of my books before the event at Joseph Beth Booksellers.

I still have a handful of events to go, and I would love to see you! Meeting you, my readers, helps to keep me going while I’m on the road and away from my family.

Here are a few highlights from the tour so far:

In many of the cities I visit, I also get to make a stop at a local school. I love the chance to meet students and see what’s happening in schools across the country.

Presenting at a school in Portola Valley, CA.

With some of the students from the school in Portola Valley, CA.

With students from a school in Redwood Shores, CA.

And here I am presenting at a school in Illinois, near Chicago.

And, of course, I really enjoy my bookstore events. I usually do a short presentation and then sign books. I’ll sign any of my books, whether it’s a new edition or old!

My first book signing was at the Reading Bug in California. Here I am with a fan who grew up reading The Merlin Saga.

Then it was on to Bozeman, MT, where I met fans, young and old, at the Country Bookshelf.

I love when entire families come out to my events, like this one at the Country Bookshelf.

After the Writers’ Workshop at The Book Stall, I signed a few books.

I had a second stop at an IL bookstore the next day, Anderson’s in Naperville.

Tina brought some original editions of the Merlin books for me to sign at Anderson’s.

At Blue Manatee in Cincinnati, I met a fan and a future fan!

And another reader who will be diving into the Atlantis Saga.

Twice on this tour I’ve been surprised by 2016 Barron Prize winners!

Here I am with 2016 winner Raghav at The Reading Bug in CA.

And at Joseph Beth Booksellers in Lexington, KY, I saw 2016 winner Rachel and her family.
