Book(mark) Signing in Johannesburg
We're still a few months out from the official release date, but my wonderful hosts in South Africa organized my first ever book signing. I ended up signing some custom-made bookmarks with How to Robot-Proof Your Kids on one side and Robot-Proof: When Machines Have All The Answers, Build Better People on the other.
Over 100 people showed up for an interview and reading (pictured), an audience Q&A, and the obligatory selfie-line. Thanks to the Stellenbosch Business Institute for hosting.
I'll share links to the official release and new cover art as soon as they're live!
SciFi, Fantasy, & Me
V. E. Schwab’s “The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue” has stuck with me in the years since reading. Her latest, Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil, is an intriguing, lush take on vampires that is beautifully written, but for me, never quite reached the depths of Addie and her endless trauma. It’s worth the read, but manage your expectations if vampiric ennui isn’t your thing.
