Of course, every bit of effort between now and November 15 is about getting people to the web site and, hopefully, inspiring them to play along with the virtual launch party for this book.
That said, immediately afterward, I'm looking forward to doing readings and signings pretty much anywhere that will have me. Remembering that the intention is to connect the message of the book with people who are hungry for it, I will rely on friends and friends of friends and kind strangers who are so inclined, from all over the world, to do what they can to set some up. Yesterday I spoke with a friend in San Diego who has volunteered to get that ball rolling during the week of 11/17 (right after the launch) down there and am having an email conversation with another friend in Sacramento who has offered to help out up there. This is very exciting. And if you have any ideas or ways to do the same in your neighborhood, bring 'em on. Please and thank you!
Yesterday I also had a meeting with the publicist, my friend Delilah de la Rosa, who's volunteering her time and lending her professional expertise to this book launch. She's also a friend and will be pitching (PR lingo!) the story to a list of media outlets we've identified as being welcoming. So that ball is rolling.
Mae McCaw continues to dazzle on the web site (check out the map) and is working feverishly to bring me into the 21st century with pages on Facebook and MySpace. I will announce it as soon as those are up.
Thank you everybody for your interest, enthusiasm, and support.
