If You’re in Decatur, Come Say Hello!

I’m flying down to Georgia today to take part in the Decatur Book Festival, in a Saturday morning panel called “Where Do I Go From Here?: Getting Your Book Noticed.” I’ll be joined by Rebecca Schinsky of The Book Lady’s Blog and Stephen Usery, who runs the syndicated “Book Talk” program out of Memphis. We’ll be answering questions from ace book publicist Julie Schoerke—and since I’ve been on stage with Julie and Stephen in Alabama earlier this year, and with Rebecca in Richmond, Virginia, just last week, I can pretty much guarantee that this is going to be a fun 45-minute spiel.

While I’m in Decatur, I’m going to keep an eye out for fellow Book Festival guest stars Laurel Snyder, Rakesh Satyal, and Jillian Weise, among the many authors scheduled to be there. Tonight, we’re supposed to all go listen to Jonathan Franzen read from Freedom, which should be an entertaining evening—it’s a lively read! (More on that next week…)
