Re: Tour question...
Ouch. Just looked at Mapquest.
800 miles... And swinging up to get Jaime first adds almost 300.
I don't know if I can justify that drive. :(
If there are any dates added closer to the East Coast, I think it'd be a bit more feasible, but as it stands right now, I think I'm going to have to pass.
Which sucks. Rawr.

Re: Tour question...
Dear Mr. Williams,
I was wondering if Michigan is an option for your Shadowmarch book tour.
Thanks,
Bonefish

Re: Tour question...
Okay, if Tad's doing a signing on the ninth of November then is it correct to assume that Shadowmarch will be released before that date?

Re: Tour question...
My amazon.ca preorder date (which we all know doesn't mean much, but its all I've got...) says delivery between Oct 6-8 - but has the release date as Oct 26. Go figure.

Re: Tour question...
The first thing I do, when I start at the book store, will be to order Shadowmarch. :)

Maybe they will deliver it to your door in "pre-print" edition. They deliver a blank book to your doorstep, and you just simply glue in the pages printed off of Smarch.com. Voila! Instant book! ;)

Re: Tour question...
Hey, East Coast people... you all know that you've wanted to visit Chicago for ages. And it is the closest signing to your wonderful selves. C'mon... you know you want to come...
I'll make pizza. Wiggin-pizza. And other stuff. I'll even host people in my hole-in-the-wall apartment, if someone so desires (two couches...).
I'm even serious. ;)

you could get me on the way!
unless Tad magically appears in NYC... very big place, a B&N every ten or twenty blocks... all kinds of booky goodness and many many people...
(edited to add)
or for Borders... hmm... i dunno about Borders in NYC, but there's one up here in Wappingers! ;)

See? Fun for the whole family. And with one of Tad's books, the project takes simply ages. As the days drag into weeks, then months, your family grows closer and closer together.
Fun for everyone! (Ages 8 and up.)

From what I remember of elementary school, the 8 year olds would probably end up eating more of the paste than applying it to pages. Though I suppose that is their own type of fun. :/
http://tad.erutan.net/ has some random Tad related media for your pleasure.

Re: Tour question...
I'm just hoping that Tad gets to the UK before I move to France because I know he won't make it to Brittany!
Tad - Nottingham's a lovely place, you really should visit, really you should. We've got lots of Robin Hood stuff, lots of caves, some really old pubs with caves, some stuff to with Byron, more Robin Hood stuff.

Re: Tour question...
And I thought Nottingham was only famous for Robin Hood?
Is there a Borders in Nottingham, the Leeds one has a few book signing sessions, as does the big Waterstones in Manchester (Not far from the big M&S). Yorkshire is very beautiful in whatever time of year you want to come.

Re: Tour question...
London's, well, not very nice really. But it is big. And accordingly has lots of people in it.
Failing that, Nottingham :)

Re: Tour question...
Personally I recommend Battle in Sussex. Not only is the site of the famous Battle of Hastings but it`s not far from Canterbury Cathedral and Hever Castle ( Home of Anne Boleyn) as well as several renowned stately homes. The surrounding area isn`t known as the Garden of England for nothing and it beats rusty coal mines and slagheaps ;)

Re: Tour question...
Now if it's battles you want I live within 5 minutes walk of Towton, site of the famous battle of Towton believe it or not, the bloodiest battle ever fought on British soil (28,000 died in a day of mostly hand to hand combat, makes you glad you weren't alive(or not) then).
You have your cathedral, we have York minster with its quite superb, if somewhat modern (restored), rose window.
Also, lots of friendly northerners thrown in for free.

Re: Tour question...
British tour is next year. I was wrong about doing it this year. (Just as well, since I'm going to be on the road a lot anyway.)
I've been to Nottingham. I like Nottingham.
I'm cleaning up the house this morning, so this is brief. I probably missed a question or two above. I'll have another look when I've got another few spare minutes.
