The Traverse City Children's Book Festival, the Moonbeam Awards, and a literary scavenger hunt.
I just got back from a trip to Traverse City, Michigan, where the Traverse City Children's Book Festival was held in a beautiful old Opera House. It's lovely town right on the shore of Lake Michigan, and the people there support not one, but two amazing independent bookshops: Horizon Books, and Brilliant Books. (You can get THE MOON COIN in Horizon Books now, btw, just sayin'.)

The Traverse City Children's Book Festival. I'm in the lower right corner.
I got to meet a lot of amazing authors at the festival, but for me the most exciting part was meeting the kids: you would have thought they were in a candy store!

Some of the winners on display in the Opera House. (I did NOT arrange these books!)
After the festival, we packed up, got dressed up, and headed out to the top floor of the tallest building in town: the Park Place Hotel, where the Moonbeam Awards Ceremony was held.

I'm the dude on the far right. Jim Barnes, master of ceremonies, is in the center.
Lastly, I want to mention that the GoodReads Group, Anything Goes, has picked The Moon Coin as their December Book of the Month. Anything Goes is mostly comprised of UK members, but anyone is welcome to join. I've been in contact with Chris, a group moderator, and she's given me permission to put together a little international contest. So get ready for a literary scavenger hunt (drawing off The Moon Coin). The winner will receive a signed, numbered, paperback copy (I will ship this anywhere I can (except to the moon Darwyth; if you're on the moon Darwyth then you're on your own; sorry). I'll post the contest here at Anything Goes on the December the 1st. So if you like scavenger hunts, be on the lookout!
