If I may be so bold as to suggest an addition: In the spring there was a truly unique book launch for FRANK READE, an historical fiction picture book by myself and Anina Bennett. It was an unprecedented undertaking involving three separate booksellers, in which we didn’t just do a reading, but performed original skits inspired by the book. At one location was a choreographed pirate fight by PDXYar, at another venue a one-time-only mini-musical was produced by the Alter Egos theatre troupe. Attendees took home custom Frank Reade chocolate gold coins. Powell’s on Burnside had a major exhibit of artwork from the book. Several local comic book shops displayed faux-historical artifacts seen in the book. The Leonardo Museum in Salt Lake City invited us for a residency that included a Frank Reade exhibition. The book garnered international acclaim from sources such as The Atlantic, the New York Times Book Review, and the Wall Street Journal.
