Yay Allyson! Sounds like good news to me. I say you update the champagne vessel to like, one of those fancy engraved plastic thingies they give you at weddings.

Happy birthday Kristin and Maria!

I'm glad y'all are having good days, because the mood is actually improving mine a bit.

I'm trying to figure out my own little book tour: Seattle, LA, San Francisco, and then over to the east coast for Boston, New York, and Baltimore.

Ahem. Middle of the country deserves some love too!

I'm just stoked that the firefly fans are giving me a little table space at Wondercon to put out flyers.

Nice gesture!

Allyson, I highly recommend hitting Chicago on your booktour. Erinaceous is very helpful setting up a reading.

Plus the Chicagoistas are a very fun bunch.

Especially when you get them drunk.

oof. I didn't even know it hit Amazon. I think i need to go throw up.

I mean, it's a joyful throwing up!

My mom wants one, Allyson. Especially since she knows we're in it.

What about Ann Arbor? It's midwest, has an enormous book-buying public, and is name-checked in the book (...even if not pleasantly so).

And I have contacts through Borders Corporate in Ann Arbor. Could maybe get you a reading there.

The Ann Arbor relative I was escaping now has a bookstore...oh, the scenarios that come to mind...

Yeaah....I don't think that would qualify as low-stress book touring.....
