New Novel Now In Bookstores!

Hey, today’s the day my new young-adult novel First Descent goes on sale! It’s a 240-page hardcover from Tundra Books for ages 12 and up. This is my first for Tundra Books (http://www.tundrabooks.com/catalog/display.pperl?isbn=9781770492578), which has been a super publisher to work with. And is the cover not cool?! Here’s a link to an interview here on how I came to write First Descent:

Meanwhile, it’s exciting to see that First Descent already has a bunch of reviews, which I feel are very objective and fair. (Let me know if you know of others I have not mentioned.):

I’m just starting to plan a busy fall and winter of touring, and just a reminder to schools and conference organizers that I don’t charge travel expenses on top of presentation fees, or limit audience size. Basically, I’ll go almost anywhere that has at least a handful of schools wanting to book me — which they can do here: https://pamwithers.com/talks

I especially admire the teacher-librarians who network with colleagues in their region to ensure I come their way. My favorite cities, which I’ll come to almost at the drop of a hat, are those where I have relatives: Seattle, Toronto, Washington D.C., Minneapolis and Dallas.

Meantime, here are my first few appearances. Stay tuned for more!

I will be appearing at Vancouver’s 17th annual The Word on the Street Vancouver festival at Library Square, Vancouver, BC, Canada on Sunday, Sept. 25 from 1:20-1:40 p.m., talking about how my novel First Descent came about, and reading from it.

I will be in Portland, Oregon for the Pacific Northwest Booksellers’ Celebration of Authors on Thursday, Oct. 13 to promote First Descent.

I will be part of the Inside Story presentation at 7 p.m. at the Sunset Hill  Community Association, Ballard, WA on Wednesday October 26.

Coming to Alberta and Ontario in November, and Minneapolis early in the new year. And your region if you ask!
