I know -- I should be horsewhipped. But I can't help myself!
Here's the schedule (so far) for the national book tour being planned to promote my husband, Jon's, forthcoming novel from Random House, Finn. The tour starts the end of February (the release date is February 20), so there's plenty of time to plan. Maybe he's coming to a city near you -- in which case, be sure to stop by and identify yourself as a Diva!
As I said in an earlier thread, Random House says it's going to be their major book for the Spring '07. Which is VERY exciting. So you'll be seeing it everywhere -- on the front tables at Borders and Barnes & Noble, maybe even Costco. You can even pre-order it now from Amazon.com or Booksamillion.com or any one of a multitude of book sites.
Basically, it's the story of Huckleberry Finn's father. However, you don't need to know anything about HF to read it; it stands entirely alone. It's about racism, madness, alcoholism, slavery, dysfunctional relationships. love, murder, greed, & disillusionment. It's very dark and very powerful. And I must say, it's beautifully written (really). Picture Cormac McCarthy meet William Faulkner.
Anyway, here's the schedule through the end of March (I plan to attend the first two. Then, you know, it's ski season!):
