They haven't listed a stop in Birmingham for me yet, but the schedule is still forming up, so I can hope.

Of course you are right! Too much typing late at night!

Wonderful! From all your posts about work, it seems you could use a little down time. Hopefully the English weather will be kind to you. Though, I will admit having lived most of my life in drought, I find the sometime-soggy England countryside beautiful.

Publishing moves on, slowly. I'm presently stressing over the medical licensing exam and have been told to expect the copy edit any day now. I was very excited to learn that your quote will be going on the cover! We've been set a pub date of Feb 2010, but I will send a copy with my gratitude to you ASAP.

I’ll definitely figure out a way to lobby and then start lobbying. They had a signing this past Saturday with Brandon Sanderson, so I know they do such things.

Awww 8D I’ll try! I’m not very good at speaking at these things, I always feel put on edge by the daunting line wait, haha.

Re: July Nine Tea

per books, ReaderCon seems to be popular (but I am always out of town for that.)
also: Arisia, Boskonne, Vericon.
Failing that, we have some good local bookstores for readings.

And, if you've never been the the Northeast in the Autumn, you really need to see the leaves. (o:

Keeping fingers crossed for a stop in London sometime!

BTW, I think it's 'Buchanan Street' in Glasgow, not 'Buchan Street' - I lived there for a five years, and I know there's a really big Borders on the former, but have never heard of the latter street at all!

I keep eyeing SF conventions in Boston, simply because I've never been to that part of the US. And a con is always a great excuse to visit!

I'm already stuffing Ruth in the suitcase! You'd be crowded in there.
