Travel is always good for the soul. All that movement and new views. In Montreal it's so nice to be with family and old friends. And I continue to be amazed at the performances of Madame Merveille.

There is one last showing of it in Montreal, I hope that you will come!

December 9th

Salle Jean-Eudes (maison de la culture Rosemont)
3535, boulevard Rosemont, Montréal

I've been a supporter of the Occupy movement and with the eviction of the OccupyLA camp last night, I wrote a little something about YA Fiction over at the LA Review of Books Blog that highlights characters who participate in rallies and actions. For those of you who know my work, Boy Proof, , The Plain Janes and Rose Sees Red all feature activism by teens. It's important to me. I hope that you will go and chime in over at the LARB blog with any books that you think would be great on that list. I think that it's essential that teens be able to find YA fiction about activism.

For those of you in New York City, I'm doing two events to support First Day on Earth.

I hope that you'll come and say hello!

And last, but not least, Terri Windling, who is a writer, artist and editor needs help. There is a fundraiser over at Magic 4 Terri. As I move into writing more in the Sci Fi/Fantasy genre I've been honored to be in two anthologies edited by Terri Windling and Ellen Datlow. Teeth and the upcoming After. I've put up for auction an advanced reading copy of my new hybrid prose /graphic novel The Year of the Beasts. Plus I'll write you a handwritten letter. (I love a letter!) There are a million other amazing things to bid on. I hope you will consider bidding on something.

Meanwhile, keep well and sing loud!

out and about, first day on earth, be a cool person and give
