my (semi-animated, semi-authorized) book launch event, now on YouTube!

Did you know that I foolishly went around from bookstore to bookstore with all my crazy A/V equipment in order to show animated videos and presentations alongside my book readings? Yep, it cost me a lot in therapy visits and chiropractic visits, but it was also really fun to mix up the book reading event with some of my bad drawings and animation gimmicks. If you didn't get a chance to see this stuff at a bookstore, then you're (arguably) in luck, because, here it is!

You know, it was honestly a blast going to all the bookstores. Even though I really had fun with all the animations and visuals, my favorite thing was just to connect with the people who came out to the events. All these years in the attic, I forgot how much I love connecting with actual humans at actual events. (Which, I guess, is a key theme in the novel anyhow.)

Thank you for all the support! ❤️️

UPDATE Oct 14, 2022: I also uploaded a video that talks about my approach with speaking at bookstores. It’s more of a behind-the-scenes story about this process. If you want to see that video too, check it out:
