I'll be in America for a whirlwind  tour starting at the end of this month.  I'm afraid America is rather big, so I can't make it to all of it this trip, but here are a few of the public events that it'd be great to see you at if you're in the area.

MINNESOTA - The big thing I'm coming for is the brilliant Red Hot Rebel Read project at Champlin Park High School, just north of Minneapolis, where I'll be doing tons of events with the students there (2800 of them, all of whom are reading Knife!).  Part of it includes a public event at the school on 30 September at 7:00pm, so it'd be great if you'd like to come along.

WISCONSIN - I'll be visiting a school and recording an appearance on Wisconsin Public Radio.  More details soon.

SEATTLE - I'll be visiting some schools here (almost my hometown!), visiting Amazon and also doing a public signing at Third Place Books in Lake Forest on Thursday, 7 October from 4-5pm (who are also reading Knife as part of their Teen Book Club).  Great to see some folks from home there, if you can make it.

PORTLAND, OR - And finally, I'll be appearing twice at Wordstock Literature Festival in Portland on Saturday, 9 October, once on a panel from noon-1pm with LK Madigan and Conrad Wesselhoeft, and then in a solo event from 5-6pm.  Tickets don't seem quite available just yet, but I'll keep you posted.

I hope you can make some of these.  I can't wait to meet some US readers and hear your reactions to Monsters of Men.  Sorry again that I can't be everywhere.  Maybe next time!  Greetings, too, to all the new commenters.
