The Book Tour

Hi, everyone:
It’s been a while, it seems, since I was here, but it’s not because I didn’t want to be here… Life has been interesting, for those of you who know the story of the ancient Chinese curse, "May you live in interesting times…"
I did manage to send an outline of my upcoming schedule to Mark a week or so ago, to be posted in the Calendar Section, but he’s obviously even busier than I am, because he hasn’t had time to put it up. To save time and effort, therefore, I thought it might be best if I simply laid out here the dateails I have to this point. There are still more changes to be made, and time is getting very short, so they’ll start coming at me hard and fast within the next few days, and I’ll post them here as addenda whenever they come in. For now, however, here’s what I have and where I’ll be, between November 19th and December 5th . . . you’ll notice that there are some specific times missing, but that’s par for the course in this kind of scheduling frenzy, because timing and availability don;t always conincide when a guy’s flying into town for a single day and perhaps coming into conflict with other plans that have been in place for a long time…
Anyway, if you’re interested, just keep an eye on this blog for the next few days. The important details–like times and places–should all be in place by Monday. Here goes:
