Love Love Book Tour, October 2015

The tour continues this month, where I return to my alma mater, fly to Austin for the Texas Book Festival, spend an evening in the Big Apple, and conduct a workshop in Princeton (where parts of the book are set!).  Note: I was going to wrap in the Wells College reading into my Cornell visit, but that’s been rescheduled for the spring.  So the tour will extend into 2016!

The plane-assisted portion of the September book tour ends here in Chicago, which I’d visited a year ago for Skokie and Nile Township’s Coming Together event.  Can’t mention Chicago without mentioning Mike Dikta, can I (or anyone)?  Please come on by, all you fine people of Chicago.  Go Bears, go Cubs!

10/17/15-10/18/15: Texas Book Festival!

Last night, the Texas Book Festival announced their lineup of writers.  That list includes such literary luminaries as Margaret Atwood, Taye Diggs, Nick Flynn, Linda Gray, Daniel Handler (Lemony Snicket), Gary Hart, Luis Alberto Urerra, Margo Jefferson, Attica Locke, Marie Lu, Chuck Palahniuk, Tavi Gevinson, and Adrian Tomine.

It also includes me!  I can’t wait to get to Austin.  This is the 20th anniversary of the festival — it’ll run October 17-18, in Austin, TX, the coolest city in Texas (come on, we all know it’s true).  I’ve been a fan of Chuck Palahniuk and Adrian Tomine forever.  Elizabeth Strout’s gonna be there, too.  The biggest challenge will be fitting all the books in my suitcase for all these authors to sign.  Oh, and Wendell Pierce (“Bunk” from The Wire) will also make a showing.
