I was promoting and signing copies of my book, Dumbledore: The Life and Lies!

My books were once again provided by a local independent bookstore, the Little Shop of Stories.

Presentation: Too Horrible for Print: How Voldemort Got His Body Back - a joint presentation with Lorrie Kim, where we discussed the gross, horrible, and hilarious theories we have for how Voldemort got his baby body before being resurrected in Goblet of Fire.

Presentation: Publishing 101 - I presented about publishing for the first time, as I assembled a panel of five authors so we could tell the audience about horror stories (a majority of us had indie publishers go out from under us!) and impart lessons learned about what to look for in contracts and how books need to be distributed so people can get to them.

Game Shows: Majority Rules - I hosted as Ludo Bagman, with an assist from Sunny Thayer, where we prompted attendees to answer controversial questions with what they thought the majority would answer.  (The best part: Gryffindor was unanimously declared the Most Annoying House!)
