The tour that is to come...

Admiral Jack Womack, author and Harper Collins publicist, has just sent me a very rough schedule for the ANANSI BOYS tour I'll be doing in September\October in the US (and occasionally Canada). I'm posting it here as an early warning for anyone who may want to come and get stuff signed and say hello.

And before people pick up their keyboards, yes, I know it's unfair on the South. I don't choose where to go on this one -- Harper Collins does and they pick the bookstores based on who asks first, how many books they sell, how enthusiastic they are, and how prepared they are to cope with Lots of People.

Obviously some times are still to come, along with other details. But I wanted everyone else to have the details as I got them.
