My wonderful publicist, Sarah Melnyk, at Minotaur Books is lining up readings and signings for later this summer to promote my new Mike Bowditch novel, Bad Little Falls. Today the first promotional materials arrived in my inbox. I'll be at the Tatnuck Bookseller in Westborough, Massachusetts on Saturday, August 11. Check my calendar of events in the coming weeks for additional events, and I'll be posting the entire tour here when it's all official.
Holiday Book Sale
If you happen to be in southern Maine on Black Friday, I hope you'll stop by the Portland Public Library and introduce yourself. The annual Maine Writers & Publishers Alliance Holiday Book Sale is one of the better one-stop-shopping events for book lovers. With 25 Maine authors, you're bound to find something for everyone on your list.
Vermont Reading
I'm wrapping up my five-month book tour for Trespasser by hitting the road one last time. On Saturday, November 19 at 11 a.m. I'll be reading and signing books at Kingdom Books in northeastern Vermont. I have a lot of affection for the Green Mountain State, dating back to my days as a waiter at the Bread Load Writers' Conference, and always appreciate the opportunity to get over to the Northeast Kingdom, which is so similar to Maine and yet has its own unique attributes. Beth and Dave were extremely supportive of my debut, The Poacher's Son, and I'm looking forward to visiting their store and meeting some of my fans from Vermont and New Hampshire (and maybe even Quebec, you never know).
