But these programs are not free for us to put on! If you’re interested in attending this event, we hope you’ll consider purchasing a copy of The World Between Blinks from our bookshop. We will include a bookplate signed by Ryan with a custom stamp in lieu of Amie's signature, as Amie lives in Australia.  Your support is critical to keeping us here and offering events like this, and we hope to do that for many years to come!

About the conversational partner: 

Shannon Messenger graduated from the USC School of Cinematic Arts, where she learned--among other things--that she liked watching movies much better than making them. She's studied art, screenwriting, and film production, but she realized her real passion was writing stories for children. She's the New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author of the award-winning middle grade series, Keeper of the Lost Cities, as well as the Sky Fall series for young adults. Her books have been featured on multiple state reading lists, published in numerous countries, and translated into many different languages. She lives in Southern California with an embarrassing number of cats. Find her online at ShannonMessenger.com.
