The author events will take place on Tuesdays at 11am SLT (PST).

This live appearance requires broadband connectivity and technical savvy, however, we can provide some tech support to make this happen and will create a custom avatar for the author. Events are promoted using both Second Life and social media and can augment book promotions in unexpected ways.
