Scott Lasker

Hello. My name is Scott Lasker. I have 12 year old twin boys who are obsessed with your books! I see you will be in Solon, OH in November at some schools, but was curious if you would be having any meet and greets outside of the schools? We live in Avon (about 50 min away) and my boys would looooove to meet you. Please let me know if there is any other way of saying hello. Thank you. Scott

Hi,Scott,

Thanks for posting and for looking for a Meet and Greet for your boys. I'd enjoy meeting them -- I like my fans even more when they come in pairs! Right now I'm not sure of the tour that takes me to your area -- that kind of visit usually has at least one library or bookstore visit. You might try asking one of the schools when it's closer to the date. Right now no one has told me anything about a public event.

Hope to see you in Solon! -----Gordo Korman-----

Thank you. Right now your tour schedule only says “Solon Schools” so I have no idea where to begin looking. I’ll keep checking back. If you or anyone on your team can post any public events when confirmed, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you again.

Update for Scott Lasker,

I know you're talking about Cleveland, but would Columbus do? I'll be at the Public Library on Nov, 2nd. The sponsor is the bookstore "Cover-to-Cover Books." Perhaps they can provide details. Please watch this space. I'll be back if I can find anything a little closer to you. --GK--

Thank you Gordon. Columbus is actually farther away than Solon. I’ll just keep checking back for public events near Solon and see if we can make it. Whenever you learn of anything else in that area, please let me know. Thank you sir.

A trip of nearly an hour just to meet an author the children love already feels very meaningful. Hopefully, Drift Boss can also bring similar moments of joy to the kids.
