In honor of my new kids book Timmy Failure spending its sixth week on the New York Times Bestsellers list, I just went to my local independent bookstore, Copperfield’s Books, and signed a whole bunch MORE Timmy books (and drew Timmy or Total in each of them). To get a signed book, just call 707 578-8938.
And remember: When I die, they’ll be worth serious cash.
Just got a list of more Timmy/Pearls tour dates.
The good news: I may be coming to your town!
The bad news: Only if that town is in California!
Hey, it’s only fair. Because for reasons unknown, I have shorted my own home state when it comes to touring.
But no more.
So behold! Four more Timmy tour dates for San Diego, Los Angeles, San Jose, and Petaluma (and yes, they will be selling Pearls books at each stop as well, which I will also be signing!):
Wednesday, April 17, 7:00 pm
Warwick’s, 7812 Girard Avenue, La Jolla, California
Saturday, April 20, 11:00 am
Los Angeles Times Book Festival, University of Southern California campus
Sunday, April 21, 2:00 pm
Hicklebee’s Bookstore, 1378 Lincoln Ave., San Jose, California
Friday, May 3, 7:00 pm
Copperfield’s Books, 140 Kentucky Street, Petaluma, California
And if I haven’t yet come to your town, don’t lose faith. Because there are more Timmy and Pearls tours to come! (And I only get more attractive with age.)
While Apple’s “Meet the Author” series normally interviews distinguished authors, they somehow made an exception and let this squealy little cartoonist into the room.

And by the way, does this look like an author photo or like I’ve just been arrested?
I know, I know.
Over the last couple years, I’ve gone on two Pearls book tours, but have not managed to come to ____________ (fill in name of your hometown).
Well, that’s now changing.
Because beginning on February 26, I am coming to your hometown.
Provided it’s one of these:
Austin, Texas
Houston, Texas
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Madison, Connecticut
Brooklyn, New York
Salt Lake City, Utah
Tucson, Arizona
It’s all in honor of my new book, Timmy Failure: Mistakes Were Made, which will be released on February 26.
And if your hometown is not on that list, hang tight. For there are more cities to come in April!
But for now, here are the details on the upcoming dates:
Tuesday, 2/26/13 – 7:00 pm, Austin, Texas
BookPeople, 603 North Lamar, Austin, Texas
Wednesday, 2/27/13 – 7:00 p.m., Houston, Texas

At each stop, I’ll be wearing nice clothes and giving a brief presentation on the history of both Pearls and Timmy Failure. I’ll explain the odd story of how I went from being a wayward lawyer to a wayward cartoonist to a wayward kids’ author. Afterwards, I’ll be answering questions and signing books.
And yes, I will be signing Pearls book as well!
So don’t miss the chance to see charming me. I am both engaging and humble.
See you there!
Well, I’ve always wanted to do a cover with someone getting kicked in the oompa loompas, and now my dream has come true.
The latest collection.
In stores Feb. 12.
For the Christmas shoppers among you, I just signed one final batch of Pearls Freaks Out books at my local Barnes and Noble. I also drew a character in each book.
To order one, just call (707) 576-7494.
But call soon, because they tend to sell quickly.
