With social distancing in place and all physical venues closed, please join me in an online celebration of my book release! 

I will be streaming on Instagram, Facebook and Zoom and you can join in on any of those. Zoom lets you join into the conversation on Video, with FB and Instagram you'll primarily be watching and commenting.

I'll be doing the event in 2 parts so hopefully you can join in wherever in the world you are:
  • April 11 6-8 p.m.
  • April 12 2-4 p.m.

To join the event on ZOOM, register in advance for one (or both) of these meetings:
  Apr 11, 2020 06:00 PM Pacific Time (US and Canada) 
  https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/uJEsfuGgrT0ttQVtKdIwRajq3i5gYId3Lg

  Apr 12, 2020 02:00 PM Pacific Time (US and Canada) 
  https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/vp0vc-6qpzIus_-KtGIskkL-u3K7uQUy0w 

To join the event on FACEBOOK:
  Go to my Facebook Art Page https://www.Facebook.com/ArtByVikram at the meeting time and join the LIVE VIDEO
  
To join the event on INSTAGRAM:
  Go to my Instagram Art Account https://www.Instagram.com/ArtByVikram at the meeting time and watch the LIVE VIDEO

​Best way to get a reminder is by responding to this facebook event:
https://business.facebook.com/events/340006630291846/

There will be poetry reading, book signings, magic tricks, learn how the book was made, see behind the scene pictures.. and plenty more!

Kid-friendly and dog-friendly event - bring the kids and dogs to meet the author.
​
The virus sure makes this an interesting time to release a book given the impacts to publishers, printers, distributors, bookstores, and libraries. I probably can't do author appearances for a while so I hope you will join me at this online event.

Signed Bookplates - Hatful of Dragons

4/2/2020

Oh Coronavirus, why did you have to cancel all my author signing events?!??

But never fear! If I can't sign your book in person I can still sign it for you remotely!

If/when you order a copy of my new book of funny poems 'A Hatful of Dragons' just send me a note (through my website or via social media) with your mailing address and whom the book is for, and I will mail you a bookplate label with a personalized message. You simply peel the label and stick it on the inside cover page, and - ta-daa -  you have a signed book!

Uhm yes I am aware that the cost of a label + mailing will probably exceed my per-book royalty... so I would be ever grateful if you can return the favor, assuming you've enjoyed the book, by spreading some word-of-mouth buzz about the book (tell some friends, give it as gifts, etc) and leaving a positive review somewhere.

Kirkus Star for 'Hatful of Dragons'!!!

4/2/2020

I'm so thrilled that Kirkus Reviews have awarded a Kirkus Star in their review of 'A Hatful of Dragons'!!! The called my book 'A Loopily, Meta Collection of Silly, Interactive Poetry', one that will 'Encourage Several Giggled-Filled Read Throughs'.

Kirkus Reviews is one of the most respected book review organizations and they are 'well-known' for giving books an 'unvarnished' review. Therefore a starred review, and a very positive one at that, is a big deal. Only a small fraction of the books they review get a Kirkus Star - specifically 'books of exceptional merit'. 

Read the full Kirkus Review here!
