With the pandemic shuttering live book events, authors have had to move their book launches online. I hope you can join me along with my special guest, Charlotte Gullick, and the staff of Malvern Books, a fabulous indie bookstore in Austin, Texas, for my Zoom-enhanced book launch of my latest novel, The Benevolent Lords of Sometimes Island. It may not be in-person in the shop, but it's the next best thing! In addition, we will conduct a raffle for a signed hardcover edition of my novel. Very cool!
