That's the link!

Today at noon, my time (and I'm Pacific Time) I'll be doing a live interview. It will be heard live on Seattle's KNNW AM 1150 but will also be available at Vicki St. Clair's website, Conversations Live with Vicki St. Clair.

I'm looking forward to this; you can visit the site and skim back through the podcasts to see that she has a lively and friendly style, and knows the good...

Yesterday, I had a bad experience with customer service.  This morning I thought  "I should just blog about that and tell the world how unhappy I am!"

And then I thought, "Or not."  We all have enough reasons to be grumpy.  I don't have to share that with the world.  Instead I can tell you about the person who did her best to fix it.

So, the quick story.  My daughter lost the power cord to her portable hard drive. The one that...

Just yesterday I did a question and answer session with the website SciFiChick.  It's already up tthere today, and with a bonus. People who leave comments on the interview are entered into a drawing for a limited edition dragon figurine.   It features pocket dragons by REAL MUSGRAVE!!  If you've never seen Pocket Dragons, you can scroll down and find the image below the interview. They're adorable.

Today I spent time with...

Signing table at Fort Lewis PX

This was my first time to sign at the PX.  And it was great!  Meghan met me at the gate to give me my visitor pass, and then took me to the PX and in the back hall. So many posters of people who have signed before there. Hulk Hogan!  Gracie, of  Brazilian juijitsu fame. Terry Brooks, of course!  And lots of cheer leading teams and all sorts of other celebrities. 

The staff made me very welcome...

I've  just added some updates to the events schedule.  For the first time, I'll be visiting Milwaukee, Wisconsin.  On May 24th, I'll be signing at Boswell Books and on May 25th at Next Chapter books in Mequon.

And while I'm in San Francisco, on May 12th I'll be at Books, Inc, the Mountain View location, at 7:30 in the evening.

As I know other details, I'll add them. 

This is going to be a lot of fun.  Hard to make myself settle...

A very hasty post as I quickly get myself ready to depart. I'm headed down to Olympia, to the Barnes and Noble store on Black Lake Blvd, to read and sign at 2 PM today! I'll be hoping to see some readers there.

I've been bringing door prize baskets to each of my signings. They are very nice baskets, with a book or two in it, a book mark or three, and some Rain Wild items, such as jewelry and a scented fan. Lots of fun!

Tonight at  7PM I will be at Powells Books at Cedar Hills Crossing in Beaverton, Oregon.  The street address is 3415 SW Cedar Hills Blvd, Beaverton, OR for anyone who wants to Mapquest it.

I'm very excited to return to Powells. They always make me welcome there, and Peter has become a real friend.  It's always nice to get a chance to catch up with him before or after a reading.  If you haven't visited this store in a while, you ...

A note from Shawn reminded me that it was time to put a reminder here!

If you would like a personalized signed first US edition of Dragon Keeper or just a signed copy, but cannot attend any of the author signings, there is an alternative. 

Please visit The Signed Page.  There you will find information on how to order a copy and let us know exactly how you would like it signed.

Oh, and Robin Hobb books are not the only ones you...

I think the address given for the Fort Lewis signing in February can be a bit confusing.  So I'll just say, see you at the PX!

And of course University Book Store and our launch is tomorrow evening.  I hope we get a good turnout!
