Dear god, I’m only five hours away from Nashville now! FIgures, I go to school in the Boon(docks) and I’m closer than ever to important stuff. XD Absolutely no idea if I would be able to make it however since that’s still five hours with no car and no bus service.

I’m reallly looking forward to meeting youse lot. Please do identify yourselves. It’s a huge pleasure to meet the readers of this blog.

Q: We shall discuss the 2009 WNBA champions. I’m hoping it will be a team that has never won it before—otherwise known as Indiana.

I’ll definitely be at your Seattle event!

Looking forward to it… but am I correct in saying it’s not yet on the appearances page? Or did I miss something?

*sigh* Yet, another author signing in Philly instead of Pittsburgh.

Good luck! I hope your US tour goes well. I can’t wait to buy Liar.

Tashiana: The schedule is not finalised. There may be other cities added.

Mary, Julia & Jenmonk: Oh, how I wish touring was the holiday you imagine it to be. A typical tour day consists of between 2 and 4 school events then an evening event. One day last year I had five school sessions, a stock signing and then a library event. I woke at 5:30AM and got to bed at 11PM. As you can imagine not much room for sightseeing. I.e. I probably won’t even get to Gracelands . . .

I’m not complaining. I adore doing events and meeting fans, students, teachers, librarians, booksellers is awesome fun. But it is exhausting.

Yeay! I’m glad you’re coming to Austin. Oh, and Memphis is such a great town. My first visit was last year and I had a great time. Hope you have fun!

You should definitely try to get out to Graceland Too! I agree with Mary Elizabeth Burroughs on that. Of course Memphis itself has all kind of other wonders, too, though. I am sure you will have an excellent time there.

Justine,

As an American who used to live near Memphis and now lives in Australia on the Central Coast, I’m telling you that you must go to the Rendezvous, a historical BBQ joint if ever there was one. Why — other than having good eats? Elvis used to get ribs from the Rendezvous all the time and the Rolling Stones, if I remember correctly, always had their BBQ there when in Memphis. Another place to visit might be Graceland 2 just across the Tennessee state border in Elvis’s birth state of Mississippi.

You’re going to have fun!

Oh my gosh! You’re coming to Phoenix! Oh my gosh! Not to be repetitive on what Mary said, but happy dance!

Phoenix!!! *happydance, happydance, happy-happy-happydance*

That sums it up. Not the most brilliant comment, but heartfelt.
