We had a saying in my writers workshop at Eckerd College’s Writers in Paradise: Never disdain the easy solution. In that spirit, I offer you <a href=” http://www.harpercollins.com/Author/EventSearchResults.aspx?authorID=17461&state=&ReqPId=1″_blank”> this.</a>
And, no, 5 a.m. on March 11th is not a typo.
P&P, Dc in March-I hope it isn’t too early for the Passover Coca-Cola. I drank my first non diet Coke in many years recently- I don’t know if it was gross because it is so sweet or because it was HFCS instead of sugar.
You write too many books!
You shame the lot of us, hussy.
5 a.m.? Who is going to show up? I’m really curious!
I’m curious about the 5 a.m. signing too. How did this come about? And yes, who will show up?
It was my idea. Last fall, at NAIBA (the organization for independent book sellers in this area), I met two enterprising women who opened a bookstore opposite the train station on the commuter line into D.C. About 700 people pass through that station every morning and a lot of them need reading material, so the store opens at 5 a.m. I was so knocked out by this inspired idea that I volunteered on the spot to do an event there.
And, yes, I am a bit of a slut, Lizzie.
Poisoned Pen presents you at Barnes & Noble? How does that work?
I can’t stalk you all over the country this year… wish you would come to Boston — or better still, Brunswick ME instead of MD.
No idea, Clair.
And I almost made it to Boston, but the schedule just wouldn’t work.
By the way, Lizzie: Where is my Friday dose of Fine Lines?
Wow, now that you explain it, I can definitely see the sense in a 5am signing. I hope they get a great crowd and that you are awake enough to sign your name. I know I wouldn’t be.
Surely you have a driver for March 11th.
No Ann Arbor, MI this time?
Any possibility of Denver on the trip? Beany’s house is waiting for you!
Central Ohio will miss you, but will still buy your book.
I travel every week and your tour schedule makes me tired looking at it.
I hope to catch the Brunswick or P&P events.
I don’t want to derail this discussion, but I am horrified to find out that today’s Fine Lines feature has been hijacked by another writer. A perfect serviceable writer, but — no, the column requires the Skurnick Voice.
Who is Skurnick?
El Syd…..closing in on ten thousand.
Would you share the url for Fine Lines? Please? I’m in the market for a new addiction.
<a href=”http://www.publishersweekly.com/article/CA6530438.html?industryid=47148″>Quote of the Week:</a>: “I sometimes think that I’m just a YA writer who lost my way.”
Wow what a schedule! I think that is a great thing about the bookshop at the train station and your signing there for the early commuters. I love originality. I’m looking forward to the book and I hope you have a great tour.
I knew someone would catch that . . . very true, though. My heart is never far from YA (says the woman who just recently reorganized her DuJardins, Emerys, Webers, etc.)
See you in Fullerton, Laura!
Excuse the cut-and-paste URL, but here is the link to LIZZIE’s Fine Lines:

Granted, Lizzie Skurnick is a friend of this blog and this blogger, but I really prefer her style.
