Meet Actor and Writer John Barrowman

Doctor Who and Torchwood fans listen up…if you love Captain Jack Harkness (aka John Barrowman) and you live in Southern California, then hop in your car or use your Vortex Manipulator and head over to Montrose next Monday. It’s there, at one of the coolest little family book stores you’ve ever been to; Once Upon a Time, that the ONLY Los Angeles appearance for brother and sister writing duo, John and Carole Barrowman will be taking place.  They will be on hand greeting fans and signing copies of their middle grade fantasy series, HOLLOW EARTH, a story about Em and Matt, 12-year old twins in Scotland, who literally draw themselves into another world. Beyond the Marquee will be on hand for the event too, so be sure to check back here next week for some pictures and possibly an interview with John himself about the world of HOLLOW EARTH. Click ahead for details on how you can attend the signing, where to go and more…
