ForkWitchWorm National Tour: A Recap of the Second Half

The second half of Christopher’s national tour for The Fork, the Witch, and the Worm was delightful! With stops in Los Angeles, Palo Alto, Tempe, Austin, and Nashville, each event brought our favorite author enthusiastic crowds, members of whom traveled long distances for a chance to get their books signed. Check out the gallery below for highlights (along with Christopher’s comments) and be sure to follow Christopher’s social media (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram) for updates on his ongoing international tour in England and Europe!

What an AWESOME event in Los Angeles! Thanks so much to everyone who came!

Check out this awesome piece of Nasuada art that Melissa (did I spell that right?) gave me at Barnes & Noble The Grove.

Check out these awesome Inheritance-themed stickers a reader gave me on the last leg of the tour.

I especially like the Nasuada/Elva one

What a great event at Books Inc in Palo Alto! Thanks to everyone who came out!

Check out this awesome tattoo from my event in Tempe!

Another awesome tattoo from my event in Tempe.

And here’s another tattoo that really touched me. This man (and his wife) named their son Roran!!!

This picture and the following three are all children who have been named after characters from my books. It’s humbling and somewhat overwhelming! Still hard to believe. 😀

Another child named after the Inheritance Cycle!

And another!

And another again!

2019 Tour Recap Part 2 — Got to sit in a MiG fighter jet during my event at Nellis Air Force Base. What a cool experience! Some great readers there on the base!

Seen in the Las Vegas airport. That’s a big lizard. 😀

Some cool fan art from Nashville.

Eragon skateboard in Nashville!!! SO. COOL.

Really awesome tattoo a fan showed me in Nashville. Love it!

Check this out! A fan brought one of John Jude Palencar’s original sketches for the Inheritance Cycle through the line in Nashville. They wanted me to sign it, but I couldn’t bring myself to do it, so I signed the mat instead.

A fan brought all of these art prints to get signed at Nashville. Really cool to see them out in the wild. (If you want a print of your own, you can find them on my Etsy store.

Not from the events, but wow! I’m speechless! Awesome tattoo! Although you’re missing the beard. 😉
