Drive-by book signings
Kristin Nelson (my agent) has a wonderful daily blog called Pub Rants. If you don't already make this part of your morning (or late evening) blog reading, do so -- especially for those of you who are pre-published. Kristin gives a priceless look at the publishing industry from an insider's point of view. You'll learn something new every day. I never miss it.
In her blog last night, Kristin posted on one of her new authors, Jamie Ford, who has made it big with his debut novel, Hotel at the Corner of Bitter and Sweet. His blog yesterday is about his thoughts on book touring.
Jamie had a link in his post to J.A. Konrath's post on the "how-to" on book tours and drop-in book signings. This is great stuff to add to your stack of things to remember when you sign that contract and go from pre-published writer to published author. Enjoy!

Boy, that Konrath fellow is a lot more organized about drop-in book signings than Dad ever was. Dad would just check around bookstores and gift shops while waiting for me to finish looking at what I wanted to see. If he spotted his poison plant book, he'd check with the guy at the register if they'd like it signed. (This was before any such stores were large enough to have a separate info desk.) The answer was always yes, so he'd sign the books while he was waiting. {Smile}
