The No More Hiding, I'm Tired of Running Tour

Coming to a bookstore near you on Sept 21...

Like it or not (and I don't!) the fourth book in the Secret Series, THIS ISN'T WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE, comes out September 21st. And my sources tell me that that notorious Impostor is, wait for this, going on “tour” again. Aaaaaargh. I’m beginning to think it should *really* be me going on tour this time. As the heading says, I'm getting tired of running and I don't want to hide anymore. (Sure, living in an igloo is fun for a few hours, but for years…?) Will I stop the dread Impostor this time and show up myself? Or am I still too scared to expose myself to the harsh glare of the public…and, worse, the Midnight Sun? Only time will tell. Here are the stops on this tour or terror. I will add to and update this list in the weeks ahead.

Friends, as I recently reported, there is grave news: the Impostor is back and going on a so-called "book tour" to "promote" Book 3 of the Secret Series, THIS BOOK IS NOT GOOD FOR YOU.

SAVE WINNETKA FROM THE IMPOSTOR!

 

Attention all Midwesterners and concerned citizens everywhere! I have just heard the first rumors of a terrible development. The Impostor, last seen in California, is headed for Illinois! Is there no place in the country that is safe from his Machiavellian machinations? A spy at a certain charming and innocent-seeming indie bookstore called THE BOOK STALL AT CHESTNUT COURT tells me the Impostor is expected there on the afternoon of Thursday, September 17. Info below. Please, I beg you, go to this so-called author appearance and denounce him as the fraud he is.

IMPOSTOR STRIKES AGAIN...TOMORROW IN MONTROSE!?

I have just received word that the He Who Shall Not Be Named Because He Steals My Name, aka the Impostor, is planning one of his so-called appearances tomorrow in the lovely and innocent town of Montrose, CA, near Los Angeles, at Once Upon a Time Bookstore--said to be the oldest children's bookstore in the country. Please, if you are in the area, run over to Montrose and stop him before he destroys this cherished institution. (Alternatively, you may purchase a book and I'm sure he'll be happy to sign it.)
