The INTNM tour

Here is the schedule so far. It’s the first time I’ve seen it all together in a list and it makes me a little woozy.

When posting your comments please keep the following in mind: 1.) I will likely add a few more places to this list. Eventually. Just because a certain city isn’t listed doesn’t mean I’m not interested in reading there. Part of this schedule was built around a couple of business trips. 2.) I’m committed to the dates and bookstores listed here, and please also keep in mind that adding another event in the same city isn’t a simple matter, since you don’t want to make bookstores compete with each other for the same crowds. 3.) I listed the nearest major metropolitan area, so, yeah, I know that the Seattle readings aren’t in Seattle proper, etc. 4.) These events were set up by people who know better than I do about these things, like my publicist at Riverhead and the bookstore reps. Finally, this list doesn’t include any group reading events, bar readings, karaoke performances, or variety show puppet acts, but there will likely be at least a couple of those, too, at some point. Whew. Okay:
