Arizona State University welcomes New York Times bestselling author TJ Klune as a guest in its TomorrowTalks series. Klune will discuss his novel "The Bones Beneath My Skin" in an online event on Thursday, Sept. 25, 2025 at 6 p.m. Arizona / MST.
The conversation will be facilitated by ASU writer Jenny Irish, an associate professor in the Department of English's creative writing program and author of the speculative collection, "Hatch" (2024).
About the book: "The Bones Beneath My Skin" is a supernatural road-trip thriller featuring an extraordinary young girl and her two unlikely protectors on the run from cultists and the government. Shelf Awareness called it "A witty, swoony soft sci-fi thriller. ... This delightfully different story of danger, loneliness, and making 'a home out of a place where one should not exist' combines the cozy and the perilous into something a little bit like magic."
About the author: TJ Klune is the New York Times and USA Today bestselling, Lambda Literary Award-winning author of "The House in the Cerulean Sea," "Under the Whispering Door," "In the Lives of Puppets," the Green Creek Series for adults, the Extraordinaries Series for teens and more. Being queer himself, Klune believes it's important — now more than ever — to have accurate, positive queer representation in stories.
About the series: TomorrowTalks place thought leaders of today in conversation with the changemakers of tomorrow: our students. Each distinguished speaker explains how they use writing to address our most pressing challenges. TomorrowTalks are a student-engagement initiative led by the Division of Humanities in The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences at ASU and hosted by ASU's Humanities Institute and the Department of English in partnership with Macmillan Publishers.
