Things are falling into place for my late October book tour. Here are the dates and locations we have so far; additional dates may be added in Los Angeles, Las Vegas and/or San Diego. If you live in a city not listed but would like to bring me to your town, feel free to email me and I’ll fill you in. (Generally speaking, towns where my work appears in the local newspaper get first priority. Other places can still work, but then it’s necessary to find a college or similar organization to front an honorarium and travel expenses.)
At all of these venues I’ll be talking and answering questions as well as signing books, including some out-of-print and hard-to-find titles. At certain ones there will also be more a multimedia approach, including showing slides.
