UPDATE!

Unfortunately, due to her degenerative health condition, McKenzie will sadly be unable to attend. If you pray, please keep her in your prayers and if you don’t, we welcome positive thoughts and healing vibes.

Even though McKenzie will be absent, my assistant Christina will be there with McKenzie’s signature to stamp into books, so you can still get a signed copy, just not hand-signed by McKenzie herself.

Hayley and Megan are eager to meet you all and are prepared to sign whatever you bring! There will also be books in the store for purchase if you don’t already have them.

Finally, keep your eyes peeled for Christina – she will have lots of fun things to give away! I wish I could be there to meet you all as well, but I’m unable to travel that far.

The signing will be at Barnes & Noble at the Plaza Venezia in Orlando, FL on September 23rd from 2-4 pm EDT! Add to your Google Calendar

Please also note that since Christina manages all inventory for the shop and ships all orders, anything purchased from now through Sunday September 24th will not ship until she returns home from the Orlando signing. But it’ll be worth it because she just might be coming back with some special hand-signed copies of We Could Be Villains and Into the Churn. Stay tuned for more info once she’s back!

I hope many of you will be able to take advantage of this rare opportunity to meet some of Whimsical’s beloved authors in person! As much as I wish I could be there with you, I hope you all know I’m giving you big Whimsie hugs from afar!

XOXO,
Micheline Ryckman

Take a peek inside my sketchbook!

Sketch of a woman with curly shoulder length hair standing with her arms crossed

Sketch of a goblin woman with long curly hair and pointed ears standing next to a bat hanging upside down in a tree

Sketch of a teenage boy with tousled hair leaning against a desk holding a laptop in his hands.

Do you recognize any of these faces? Here’s a hint – one may be familiar, while some are also new… but they are all from Whimsical novels!
