Tuttle Publishing announced over the weekend that they've acquired Samurai Awakening's sequel Revenge of the Akuma Clan for publication in Fall '13!  Its great news as I gear up for the debut party for SA tomorrow night!  If you're in AZ stop by Changing Hands at 7 (weds 10/10/12) and say hello!  We've also heard of a great review coming from Booklist in Nov!  Thanks for all your support and help Blueboarders!

Thanks again everyone!! We had a fun launch party.  It was my first signing, but we had videos, slides from Japan, giveaways, and all kinds of great stuff.  Followed it up this morning with my first school visit.  The kids were all great!  Pictures -> Facebook

Congratulations on both your sequel and successful launch! I went to ASU and loved Changing Hands. It's one of my favorite bookstores.
