rolanniIntroduction to a book tour
Frequent auditors of this journal will recall that Lee and Miller will be embarking in the near future on a book tour. The complete tour schedule is reproduced at the end of this blog entry, for your convenience.
PLEASE NOTE that we have added one more stop, in Maine, at the end of the tour. We'll be signing, reading, talking and doing who knows what other crazy things at Books-a-Million on Sunday, November 17, from 2-4 p.m.
Also! We will be documenting the bookstore. Look for commentary at www.korval.com, and photos at http://www.pinterest.com/rolanni/2013-liaden-universe-world-tour/
Please feel free to distribute the schedule below wherever it may be of interest.
Clarifying the book tour
We'd like to take just a moment to clarify something about the book tour. The tour is in support of a few things: Lee & Miller, the Liaden Universe®, Baen -- but it is in Direct Support of Trade Secret, the 17th novel in the Liaden Universe® which, yes, is scheduled to be "published" on November 5.
There seems to be a little bit of confusion regarding this word "published," which more correctly ought to be rendered, "available in bookstores."
See, the books have already been "published," which in this usage means "printed." We know this because Steve and Sharon received their authors' copies a week or so ago. This means that, even now, there are Trade Secrets in the S&S warehouse, and Trade Secrets on their way to distributors, and Trade Secrets directly on their way to bookstores. . .
. . .and Trade Secrets on their way, via the Sekrit Publicist Underground, directly to all of the stores where we will be signing, and! to the nice folks who will be escorting us during the various stages of our tour.
Which is the long way of saying that, Yes, Trade Secret will be on hand at our signings -- even those signings that happen before November 5 -- and if you come to one of our signings, you will be able to buy a book and see us sign it for you in front of your very eyes.
Which, you gotta admit, is kind of cool.
*Free Liaden Universe® Story
One more reminder -- "Out of True," a Liaden Universe® short story will be available to read for! free! on the Baen front page, starting. . .call it mid-day, Eastern Daylight Time, on Tuesday, October 15. You will have to scroll down a bit (fiction on the Baen front page is published, as we used to say in the newspaper biz, "below the fold") to find it.
