Book Tour + Pemberly Moment

I'm setting up dates for the book tour this year.  It looks like I'll be touring from October 1st through Saturday the 20th.  I've posted the following preliminary schedule in the con news page.  If you live in this area, keep an eye on this page for updates!  If you're a bookseller who lives in the area, drop me an email if you want to do a signing!  I've got most of these dates at least tentatively planned, but I can probably slip you in.

Of note is this: If you work at a school, and would like to have Dave Farland or myself in to do an assembly about writing, contact me as well.  We'll be doing school visits to promote our kids books.  Alcatraz will be out by then, and so I'll be doing presentations for 4th-6th graders, maybe the occasional middle school as well.

And, so that we're not all business, here's another lovable quote from my wife, taken completely out of context: "Except I look like a fat monkey with pig tails!  Waaah!"

(She had a rough week last week with cold sores mixed with feeling sick and pregnant, so if you see her, wish her well.)
