Tourage

I'm no stranger to book signings---I've visited over 200 stores in the past 13 months.

But I'm a total virgin when it comes to going on tour.

My publisher, Hyperion, has set it all up and is paying for everything. I'm scheduled to appear in nine cities from July 12-27.

I have no idea what to expect. I'm bringing my laptop along, so I'll use this blog to proved daily updates.

If any authors reading this have been on a publisher tour before, I'd love to hear your comments and advice---even if it's negative.

If anyone lives in the towns that I'm visiting, please stop by one of my signings with a busload of your friends, and I'll return the favor someday.

Here's where I'll be:

Hope to see some of you on the road. It goes without saying that after an event, we grab a beer.

I wonder if Hyperion is giving me a beer budget?
