Hi everyone!
I know that for the past few months I’ve been talking about going on tour. Yep. A TOUR!
Now, I feel that I should start by saying that very few authors get to go on tour. Very few. So few, in fact, that I have never gone. (I have attended conferences and festivals and whatnot but never a full-blown leave-your-house-with-a-suitcase-and-don’t-come-home-until-you-can’t-remember-what-city-you’re-in tour.)
But the time has come, I’m told, for me to pack that suitcase and hit the road.
This is, of course, VERY exciting news! There will be airplanes and taxis and hotel room service and fans and books and sharpies and hopefully nice people saying nice things.
But if you think about it airplanes get delayed and taxis can be sticky and sharpies can stain your clothes and room service can be very fattening, so the only thing that is inherently awesome about tour are the fans and the books!
So if my tour is to be saved I need YOU. Yes, I need you to make it awesome!
So if you live in or near any of these cities please mark your calendars, tell your friends and family, and, if you can, please come.
Please note that I’m including all the information for all confirmed events that are open to the general public.
Some additional events may be added later. If/when that happens I will post the news immediately.
Please contact the individual host stores for more details as some events may require you to purchase a ticket or reserve your spot in advance.

I’m very sorry if, on this tour, I won’t be coming to a city near you. Rest assured that if this tour goes well there could possibly be other tours and hopefully I’ll see you then.
