Behind the scenes: Pics from tour
We promised you a few images to go with our chat of tour shenanigans, and here we go!
Amie talked about her favourite tour event, the DIY Obsidio tour closer, where we wound up in a food court, fans ran the signing line, and our audiobook narrators performed live. Here’s Erin Spencer (who’s since gone on to narrate Scarlett in the Aurora Cycle, among other things) backed by Johnathan McClain (Ezra) and Lincoln Hoppe (AIDAN.) Click through to watch the whole video, and enjoy…
And remember Kate’s tales of hand-sewn gold jumpsuits, and fabulous readers showing up in amazing 1920s outfits? Behold! Here she is in her handmade 1920s dress at One More Page, posing with her brother, who has maybe hand-sold more books than anyone on the planet. And in her handmade jumpsuit with a reader who came along in a killer 1920s outfit to her event at An Unlikely Story.
