Holcomb Bridge Middle

I've scheduled an Atlanta-area school visit for the day my book comes out - how cool is that!? Holcomb Bridge Middle in Alpharetta has invited me to come speak to their seventh grade class about Samurai Shortstop. I'll be bringing my new bokkoto - wooden practice swords like Toyo and his father use in the book. They make me look very formidable, even though I'm not.

In other news, I also have baseball cards for Samurai Shortstop! (See picture.) I'm going to be handing these out at events in lieu of bookmarks. Pretty cool, huh?

Just 48 more days until Samurai hits the shelves!
