Seven schools, three bookstores, and more than 1,000 miles in six days! As part of the kickoff celebration for the second EXPLORER ACADEMY series, I hit the road in April on a BOOK TOUR. I had a great time meeting readers and introducing the new series (by the way, you don't need to have read Series One to dive into this spinoff).
A huge thanks to the schools and bookstores who supported me: Brick & Mortar Books in Redmond, WA, Auntie's Bookstore in Spokane, WA and Second Star to the Right Books in Denver, CO (the stunning mural in the photo below is painted on the side of the store). If you'd like a signed copy of THE SAILOR CIPHER, please call, order online, or drop by one of the above stores and thanks for supporting our indies!
Along with the book tour, we also put together a BLOG TOUR. These posts are among my favorite things to do because it's a chance to share bonus goodies you won't find anywhere else, like a deleted scene or a character interview! Scroll down for all the BLOG TOUR topics and links.
Finally, if you live in the Puget Sound area, mark your calendar for Saturday, September 7th and join me, along with a few dozen other authors, for the Bookfest Kids' Book Festival. This is such a fun event! Keep an eye on their website for a schedule to come soon.
Have a great summer, everyone, and dare to explore!
Your friend in books,
Trudi
