I’m getting ready to head out on tour on May 1st. I can hardly believe it. I mean, it’s one thing to have your book available for people to read, but to talk with a group of folks who’ve read or are about to read it – it’s just too good. Most writers write, I think, because they want to connect. This one does, anyway. But previous to this year, I never envisioned being able to connect with readers through any means other than through the book itself. In other words, I never thought my relationship with readers would extend beyond the experience of people simply reading Ginny Moon. After all, that was sort of my fantasy, growing up: I wanted to write books that people would fall in love with, because I had fallen in love with so many books myself.
So I’ll be visiting 15 different cities between May 1st and June 2nd. The list of stores and locations is available on my website. If you happen to be nearby when I’m in town, please stop by. I’d love to say hello.
The first event will take place at Water Street Books in Exeter, New Hampshire, which is close to my hometown. You can read all about it here. Quite a few people are already planning to attend, so if you’re in the Seacoast area and would like to stop in, please sign up using this link to reserve your spot. It’s free, of course, and catered. So if you enjoy good conversation, books, and wine…
Hello Benjamin, I just finished Ginny Moon. Wow! Congratulations and thank you. Being a veteran teacher of 34 years during a time where autism was first being named and diagnosed, I appreciate your novel that is narrated by first person autistic 14 year old autistic girl! She stole my heart, and reveals so much about how “her brain works”. With gratitude and admiration, Cynthia Cook.
