last week's discussion at the United Nations!

Here's a link for a run-down of a discussion I participated in at the United Nations last week, in conjunction with the release of What You Wish For, a YA anthology to benefit library construction in refugee camps for people displaced from Darfur. I was fortunate enough to be there with my fellow contributors R.L. Stine, Ann M. Martin, Sofia Quintero, Jeanne Duprau, Karen Hesse, and Marilyn Nelson, with Cornelia Funke and Meg Cabot participating via Skype.

Afterwards, we did a Q&A and signing at Books Of Wonder. The whole day was phenomenal! Thanks everyone for coming out.

Philip K. Dick cover artwork auction to help out Dylan Williams!


Friend and comics cohort Dylan Williams of Sparkplug Books is in the hospital battling cancer, and to help cover the mounting medical expenses, Floating World Comics is doing a fundraiser-- tons of comics artists doing cover art for Philip K. Dick novels!

The originals are being auctioned on Ebay as we speak, and 11"x17" digital prints will be available soon as well-- all the proceeds go to help Dylan out!

The original artwork for my cover to Flow My Tears, The Policeman Said is up for auction here, and prints should be available next week (and at my table at SPX too).

The entire series is being uploaded as they come in.

Please dig deep and help out a great fellow!
