that dang farm boy

If you like laughing and free stuff, then I HAVE A DEAL FOR YOU. Delilah S. Dawson and I wrote a hilarious sendup of Chosen One narratives called Kill the Farm Boy that is full of puns, flipped tropes, and an entirely justifiable obsession with cheese. There is also a very sassy goat. If you preorder it anywhere (indie store, online, whatever) in any format (hardcover, ebook, or audio) and take a pic of your receipt or screenshot your confirmation, you can snag a fun batch of buttons! (This is US only, sorry.) Head on over to our Tales of Pell site and check it out—it’s easy!  And oh, don’t miss our Pellish name generator—a great name will go a long way while you’re adventuring. This is the first book of three standalone adventures and we hope you’ll giggle as much while reading it as we did writing it.

Three other things:
1) Here’s an interview I did with Luke Daniels on April 3 at the one and only Rúla Búla Irish Pub in Tempe, AZ. (The fish and chips are really super good.) It’s 13 minutes and we talk about how he develops voices (especially for the Morrigan and Oberon) and much more!
2) I’ll be at Creative Ink Festival in Burnaby (Vancouver) BC from May 18-20 and there’s still time for you to sign up. You totally should! I’ll be teaching goodies about developing voice, doing critiques and talking fantasy, and author CC Humphreys is offering a master class on Writing a Novel from First Inspiration to Final Draft! Come see us and learn stuff!
3) FOLKS IN THE UK! I will be at London Comic Con May 25-27! This is my first ever appearance in the UK. Obviously they are rare! I do not know when/if I will be there again, so if you can make it to see me, please do! I will happily sign ALL THE THINGS. Be not afraid! I am not doing anything outside of the con, sorry; the con is paying for my travel arrangements so of course they very reasonably expect me to be there and not elsewhere.
