It was standing room only at my last bookstore event of the tour, here at Powell's Books, Inc. in Portland! If you didn't get to see me on tour, you're got one more chance. I'm doing a free virtual event tomorrow (Tuesday) morning at 10 am Pacific. To register, visit alangratz.com and click Events. If you can't watch live at that time, sign up anyway. You can watch the replay whenever it's convenient for you. You can even register and watch the replay after the event happens!

A gymnastics fan flipping out over War Games at my signing in Naperville, Illinois. 😁 (The main character in War Games is an Olympic gymnast at the 1936 games in Berlin.)

Thank you @booksandbooks for a terrific event! I signed TONS of books (both new titles and plenty of backlist) while I was there, so if you're in Miami/Coral Gables, you know where to go get your signed copies!

Looking for signed books? The Barnes & Noble in Fairfax, VA has a few copies. πŸ˜‚ I signed LOTS of the two new books, but plenty of my older titles too, so you've got lots to choose from. πŸ“šπŸ“šπŸ“šπŸ“šπŸ“š Thanks @bnfairfax for a great day!
