I did a signing last night at the Barnes & Noble in the Apache Mall in Rochester, MN. I want to thank everybody who came out. It’s always great to meet people who love the same characters as much as I do (sometimes more), and I hope everyone had fun.

While I was at Barnes & Noble, I signed all of my books they had in stock. So they currently have signed copies of Frostfire, Switched, Torn, Ascend, Wake, Lullaby, Tidal, Elegy, and even Grim (the anthology that includes my short story “The Pink,” as well lots of other great stories by authors like Ellen Hopkins, Julie Kagawa, Claudia Gray, Malinda Lo, Jackson Pearce, Christine Johnson, Jeri Smith Ready, and many more).

If you would like a signed copy of any my traditionally published books (Barnes & Noble doesn’t stock self-pubbed paperbacks like the My Blood Approves series or the Hollows), you can contact the Barnes & Noble in Rochester, MN by calling them. The staff at the B&N (who were fantastic, by the way) told me that they don’t currently have a way for people to order signed books directly from their store, so the best way to do order is either by coming into the store or giving them a call at 507-281-7950.

I’m only doing a few signings for Frostfire, all in Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Illinois. (For more info, check out the Calendar at the top of my main page.There should be a couple more dates TBA soon.)

The small book tour is for several reasons – some personal (I just got married and didn’t want to spend the first month as a newlywed on the road), some practical (time away on tours means time away from writing). In the future, with other books, I may do a more extended book tour, but I don’t know anything for sure right now.

For people who would like a signed copy of one of my books but aren’t able to make it the signings, this is the best way to get one at the moment. For those of you that can make it to the signings, I look forward to meeting you 🙂
