I was recently part of a panel discussion for the Pacific Northwest Booksellers Association. (Why? Because I’m an expert.) During the talk, I learned how important it is for authors to have a recent, professional headshot. So it’s time to reluctantly say goodbye to my previous recent headshot…
… and replace it with something more professional:
Voilà!
Publisher’s Weekly ran an article on this event; it included this blurb:
AM Northwest demonstration with Caleb Sohigian about The Pocket Guide to Magic!
For the third promotional video that I shot for The Pocket Guide to Mischief, I used a different cast. In this case, Lee is the “troublemaker” — but remember, he’s only acting!
This is the second of three promotional videos I made for The Pocket Guide to Mischief. We had a lot of fun shooting these!
I had a lot of fun with my friend Andrew making this promotional video for The Pocket Guide to Mischief many years ago. Featuring the actors Dominic (as “the boy”) and Chip (as the “older boy”!).

In case you didn’t know, I’m a giant. Don’t believe me? Check out how tall I am compared to these other very talented writers and artists! (Y’know, the shrimps?) Oh, and this is at Portland’s coolest bookstore, A Children’s Place. The event was a celebration of the new book, Oregon Reads Aloud – A Collection of 25 Children’s Stories by Oregon Authors & Illustrators. The book is a tribute to twenty-five years of SMART’s (Start Making a Reader Today) work empowering Oregon children for reading and learning success. Oregon Reads Aloud proudly features “the state’s rich trove of talent within the children’s literary community.”
The Community Partners for Affordable Housing invited me to its fundraiser. Everyone was super-nice, like these people! But I can’t remember what I was saying here. Maybe something like: “So I said, ‘What do you MEAN this isn’t spaghetti?’”
There are outrageous rumors that I wrote a novel about a birdwatcher (you know, The Drake Equation) just so I’d have a great book at the Audubon Society’s Wild Arts Festival. And I just want to say that those rumors are actually TRUE!
I talked about reading, writing, and my new novel, The Drake Equation, at Portland’s book festival, Wordstock. The photos show me on a panel with awesome author Kate Ristau and coolio moderator Diana Armstrong. (more…)
