Connecticut friends, a tour stop's been added at River Bend Bookshop on Sunday, January 11 at 5 PM! Join me and my beloved Kelly as she tries to talk about AN ARCANE INHERITANCE and I derail the conversation to talk about the upcoming THE GRAVEWOOD instead :)

![Phone Call Script
"Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening
My name is [name] email phone number, I am a Canadian citizen and a concerned constituent. I am calling because I am heart broken and outraged by the deliberate, systematic starvation of Palestinians in Gaza.
Right now, children are dying of hunger. Families are boiling water with salt just to survive. Over half a million people are facing catastrophic food insecurity - This is not a famine caused by nature, it is a man-made famine, intentional act of cruelty. Since the blockade in March of 2025, 57 children have already died of malnutrition-related causes, and nearly 71,000 children under five are projected to develop acute malnutrition.
Canada cannot stand by. This is a matter of human decency and international law. I am urging you to publicly demand an immediate end to the use of starvation as a weapon in Gaza. I am asking you to push for unimpeded access for food, water, and humanitarian aid and to use every diplomatic and political tool Canada has, including at the UN and with allies, to pressure Israel to lift its siege and allow aid in NOW.
Canada has a moral and legal obligation to act. Please don't let silence become complicity.
Thank you"](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:iqmpxeruup2ss44l6gqlu6hr/bafkreiflzsztytg5tm5cdx6ryo2j7tmrek3mzb2wihmrm6aka2lnhi6pi4)
