Quest Tour

Hi All,
 
Here is the info on my upcoming tour. The Quest tour will be a little shorter because many of the bookstores want me to come for an appearance in November after the release of Tiger's Voyage. If you don't see your hometown on my list, it may be because I am coming this winter but if you want to make sure, go to your favorite bookstore and ask them to host me. They can email kids@sterlingpublishing.com to make that request.

I'll be teaching two classes

Creative Writing for Beginners
You've Got to Start Somewhere

And I'll be doing a book signing too I believe.



I have asked my publisher to be able to give away a galley of Tiger's Voyage at my book signings and since I will be dressing up in Indian clothing for the bookstore events I will probably choose to give the book to the person who comes in the best costume so dress up like Kelsey or Nilima.  Braid your hair. Make homemade t-shirts or whatever you like to win!  There will be several other cool prizes too.  Hope I can fit everything in my suitcase!



I'm getting lots and lots of art submissions for the TQ art contest.  You can still submit art until June 30 and I will post them all during 4th of July weekend.



I have the bestest most coolest fans in the world!  Thank you all so much for your support and patience!
