For those in the Greater Los Angeles Area (which is so much better than the Lesser Los Angeles Area) really should come by the Los Angeles Times Festival of Books this coming weekend, April 21-22, at USC. Admission is free (though parking, alas, is not), and there will be plenty of publishers and authors hawking their wares, readings for the kids and adults, panels, and so forth. (Panel tickets are available starting tomorrow, so go to the website and be sure to grab up the ones you want.)
And if you’re there, please stop by and say “hi!” I’ll be there the whole time at the CAPS (Comic Arts Professional Society) booth, booth #860, which will be in the “Hero Complex” area (so if you’re seeing a lot of comics stuff, you’re close.) I will have a range of books I’ve written and/or published for sale, including The Peanuts Collection, It’s Only a Game, Schulz’s Youth, and even a handful of copies of Bridge Mix. I’ll have bargains and special deals and such, but smiles are always free, as are signatures. (Tip: don’t drag your whole copy of The Peanuts Collection with you, just bring one of the small insert items to be signed. You’ll save your arm!)
