@cricket_bacon talk to your local booksellers! Tours are booked out on the basis of how many people the bookseller promises to bring in for an event. They just need to talk to my publisher's representative, whom they will have an account with, if they want the next tour to bring me there. I would be delighted, as I've always had good events there, and I am also a barbecue fan.

My ebooks and audiobooks (from FSGxMCD, Tor Books, Head of Zeus, McSweeneys, Beacon, Verso and others) are for sale all over the net, but I sell 'em too, and when you buy 'em from me, I earn twice as much and you get books with no DRM and no license "agreements."
