The End in L.A.

I'll be in L.A. this weekend for the L.A. Book Awards. The End was nominated in the comic and graphic novel category. I'll also be on a panel at the LA Book Festival, Saturday at noon, with Mimi Pond, Ben Katchor and Vanessa Davis... and signing books and the like. Come say hello.

The next three days

I'm doing a quick and dirty West coast book tour this week, beginning on Wednesday with a talk at Stanford University. I'll be reading from Rage of Poseidon and talking about the themes of mythology and religion in the book, in my work generally and about the curious intersections of new and very very old stories.

Then Thursday I'll be at Pegasus Books in Berkeley and Friday at Skylight Books in Los Angeles, teaming up with Michael Deforge who's on tour with his great new book Ant Colony. Come say hi.
