My publisher tells me that finished copies of Delancey<\/i>, hot off the presses,\u00a0are due to arrive in their offices early next week. (!)<\/p>\n
I have a lot of feelings about this, both of the excited and terrified varieties, because it means that the book will finally be done, donedoneDONE, but also that it\u2019s too late to change anything about it, make it better, or otherwise obsess over it. It means that it\u2019s no longer mine<\/i>, in a sense. But on the upside, it soon will be yours<\/i>! \u00a0It also means that you should grab a pencil and get out your calendar, because I\u2019m taking this show on the road.<\/p>\n I\u2019ll be traveling around, doing readings and signings – regrettably,\u00a0not <\/i>karaoke\u2019ing Hole\u2019s greatest<\/a> hits<\/a>\u00a0– for a good chunk of May. \u00a0Brandon has to stay home and make pizza, and June has to stay home and work on her pronunciation of pizza<\/a>, so I hope you\u2019ll come out and keep me company. I got to meet many of you when my first book came out, and it was, by far, the best part of the whole book thing. I\u2019ve been hoping that I would get to go on tour again with this book, and I feel so, so, so very lucky that I do. Please come say hello!<\/p>\n In the meantime, you can pre-order Delancey<\/i>, if you feel sufficiently moved, at any number of places, like Apple iBookstore<\/a>, Amazon<\/a>, Barnes & Noble<\/a>, University Book Store<\/a>, Books-A-Million<\/a>, Powell’s<\/a>, or an independent bookstore in your area<\/a>.<\/p>\n With no further ado, here is the tour schedule. (I\u2019ll also post it, as well as any updates, in the “click here for events and whatnot” link in the sidebar.)<\/p>\n Seattle, WA<\/b> Oklahoma City, OK\u00a0<\/b> Tulsa, OK<\/b> Washington, DC<\/b> Brooklyn, NY<\/b> Wellesley, MA<\/b> Wayzata, MN<\/b> Santa Cruz, CA<\/b> Pleasanton, CA<\/b> San Francisco, CA<\/b> Mission Viejo, CA<\/b> Seattle, WA<\/b> Vancouver, BC<\/b> Kirkland, WA<\/b> Portland, OR<\/b> Olympia, WA<\/b> Spokane, WA<\/b> Olympia, WA<\/b> Happy almost-weekend.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/div>\n
