Here is the schedule so far- it may change- and I will have a slide show that will be shown most places. If you would like me to visit your store, library, or book club, let me know, and I'll let the folks at Algonquin know. (I am also available by Skype or telephone.) Learn about a lot of great books, and get a kind of insider's peak at the book publishing world, at the Algonquin Books blog.
If you are planning on being at an event, you may want to pre-order your book from any of the host stores, to be sure you get a copy for me to sign.
