The Book Tour in Still and Moving Images

They say a picture is worth a thousnd words (as an author, I might actually dispute that), so below are a selection of images and videos from the West Coast swing of The Scar Boys’ book tour. I hope you enjoy seeing them as much as I enjoyed living them.

You can see more videos on The Scar Boys YouTube channel, and see my photos on the Flickr photostream. If you missed the live event, it’s not too late.There are still tour dates left.

And finally, if you were at one of the events and haven’t yet entered the contest, it’s not too late!

Friday Jams was the band of 9th and 10th graders that opened for me at Vroman’s in Pasadena. More poise and talent than I EVER had playing in a band.

Jamming with Lincoln Hoppe, narrator of The Scar Boys’ audiobook.

A passionate, energetic performance of a Cake song by Ben at San Lorenzo Valley High School in Northern California. Awesome.

Krissy getting creative with The Scar Boys schwag.

The extraordinary Andrea Vuleta of SCIBA.

This is one of my favorite student performances. The audio is bad because the iPhone was too far away. Listen with the volume up or with headphones to appreciate this beautiful original song.

Beautiful original song by Emma (high school senior) at The King’s English in Salt Lake City.

Welcome to Mira Costa High School.

Awesome students at Mira Costa High School.

These were two of half a dozen students at Mira Costa High in Manhattan Beach that were brave enough to come on up and perform. The level of talent at this school was off the charts.
