First Ghost Maps tour info

News from the good publisher folks at W&W yesterday: they got a bit of extra author tour money, and they want to send me east, to Fredericktown, Charlottetown, Halifax, and St. John’s! In November! I’ve never been to that part of the world and don’t know a soul there. Should be an adventure. I’m excited about it. (Though, note to self: launch next book in, say, April.)

W&W are also arranging readings more locally here in KW, and in Toronto, Hamilton, London, Kingston, and Ottawa. I’m trying to talk them into Montreal, which I loved when I was there last year.

It's not clear to me whether this tour is in addition to the one they asked me to think about, or if they're just tired of waiting for me to think about it. (Yes, but I've been writing.) In Canada (where the funding takes me) I would like to get back to Regina, which I loved, and out to the Rain Coast for the first time.

I’m thinking of having tour tee-shirts printed. Will have more details later.
