On the Road

A book tour can refer to any number of realities, from glam 20-city limo-and-executive-class victory laps to a drive through a blizzard to read to empty chairs in a church basement.  The book tour I’m on for The Guardians at the moment isn’t Grisham-esque in its length or expense, but they’re keeping me busier than I’ve ever been on these trips, and the truth is I’m having a hell of a good time.  Had a really great day in Calgary yesterday, finishing off with a reading to a warm audience at Pages bookstore in Kensington.  Today I’m in Vancouver, doing interviews and reading at the Main Branch VPL tonight.  Meeting some old friends along the way, and making some new ones too.  I’m having a blast, gotta say.
