Okay, before I post the 2010 My Fair Lazy tour cities, I want to thank you for letting me know where you wanted me to visit. Your input was definitely considered in making these decisions and I personally read/recorded every single one of the 3,200 entries.
In choosing tour cities, my publisher's publicity team had to consider a number of aspects, such as space, logistics, other authors' tours, regional sales, fairness, timing, etc. so when you see the following stops, please understand they weren't chosen at random. I lobbied hard for certain places that aren't represented (Miami, Sacramento, Pittsburgh, Bergen County, I'm so sorry!) and I feel bad that I'm not returning to some places that everyone expected (Pacific Northwest.) I wish I had more to offer than "there's always next year" but that's all I've got.
That being said - and understanding not everyone will be happy despite our best efforts - I'm delighted to announce these dates in the following cities:
May 4 - Atlanta, B&N Buckhead
May 5 - Birmingham, Alabama, B&N Summit Boulevard
May 6 - Houston, Borders Kirby Street
May 7 - Dallas, B&N Northwest Highway
May 11 - Detroit, Borders Birmingham
May 12 - Dayton, Ohio, Books & Co.
May 13 - St. Louis, at the Mad Art Gallery, books sold by Left Bank (and yes, they'll be selling drinks!)
May 14 - Chicago, Borders Michigan Ave
May 18 - Philadelphia, B&N Walnut Street
May 19 - New York City, B&N Union Square
May 20 - DC, B &N 12th Street NW
May 21 - Charlotte, B&N Huntersville
May 26 - Milwaukee, Borders Fox Point
May 27 - Oak Brook (Chicago), Borders
As we get closer to the events, I'll post specific dates and times. So... see you later this spring!
(And if not, I'm really sorry!)
