Great news for those who missed my tour of the US a couple of months back: I’m going to be BACK in the US at the start of September! A brief trip this time, to appear at the National Book Festival in Washington, and to do an event with VE Schwab outside Philadelphia. Should you be lucky enough to live nearby one of those places, the details:
The National Book Festival is organised by the Library of Congress and will be held this year on Saturday September 6th. I believe I’ll be appearing with Shannon Chakraborty and that there’ll be a signing afterward, but I don’t have all the details quite yet – I’ll follow up when I do. However doors of the festival in general open 8.30am and it’s FREE to the public.
The event with VE Schwab will be the day after, Sunday September 7th. It’s organised by Main Point Books and you can get tickets and find all the details over here. I should point out there’s not going to be a signing line at this one – signed books will be available but pre-signed.

Look forward to seeing some of you at one of these magnificent affairs. And now you can begin the onslaught of complaints that no one never comes to rural North Dakota/I never visit Naperville even though I was there two months ago/you live right opposite Radnor Middle School but you’re doing something else that weekend etc. etc. For all these things I apologise. We do our humble best…

This is amazing . What are the odds . This is pretty close to my place . I’ll see you there , Joe.
Time for a road trip, yay
You never come to… SOUTH Dakota.. :p
What a privilege to meet you Joe and share a beer. Enjoy your time in Philadelphia!
I went to the Radnor Middle School signing, and it was fabulous. I’m currently working on erecting a statue of you in town. Fingers crossed.
Your Philadelphia event was so much fun! You and V.E. Schwab had great rapport on stage! Hard to believe you had just met each other.
