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.

IMPOSTOR ALERT: LA TIMES FESTIVAL OF BOOKS

Just when you think it's safe to jump back in the water... Alarming news: the scurrilous Impostor has scheduled one (or in this case two) of his so-called "appearances" for Saturday, April 24 at the Los Angeles Times Festival of Books.  (Festival? With him there I would call it a funeral!) Here is the information:

LA TIMES FESTIVAL OF BOOKS

SATURDAY, APRIL 24

12:30 PM, PANEL: 'TWEEN THE LINES, MODERATED BY NEAL SHUSTERMAN, WITH GORDON KORMAN AND DJ MACHALE, SIGNING IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING

4:00 PM, SECOND SIGNING: MYSTERIOUS GALAXY BOOKSTORE BOOTH

 

LAST SECOND IMPOSTOR ALERT - GLENDORA, CA

Late breaking news: the dread impostor will be signing books THIS EVENING at Barnes and Noble in Glendora, Calif (near Claremont, east of LA).  If you can, run over there and tell him I did NOT say hello! Here's the info:

IMPOSTOR SIGNING

TUESDAY, MARCH 23 5 - 6PM

BARNES AND NOBLE

1315 East Gladstone Street, Glendora, CA

(off 210 freeway @ Lone Hill Ave.)

Right now, the Impostor is at the Family Festival of Books in Chino, CA

& I am posting to the internet from a bunker, 3 miles beneath the surface of the earth. 

IMPOSTOR APPEARANCE: CHINO, CA - FEB 28, 2010

My network of informers just notified me that the Impostor will be appearing at the 4th Annual Family Festival of Books on Sunday, February 28th, 2010. 

The Impostor is acting very bold - he is going to be doing a signing at 1:00PM.

What a delightful and colorful poster - clearly the Impostor will stop at nothing!

 

Beware - Chino, California!

Red Herring?

This is very curious. I will paste here for you, dear blog followers, a very provocative piece of evidence that proves that this impostor is up to no good. This charlatan must be stopped. Sullying not only my name, but now also the good name of City Lights Bookstore. I don't even know what to make of this clue. There is no event going on (impostor organized or otherwise!) at City Lights. This clue comes to us from Danielle. Have we lost the scent? Or is this meant to distract us? You decide. If you have any info, share it with us. But beware, there is no telling who is looking at this page. Here is the email and note in their entirety.

-PB

Dear Mr. Pseudonymous Bosch,

I have found a clue that has led me to believe that an impostor of you is going to appear at the City Lights Bookstore in San Francisco at 12 p.m. to 1 p.m. I do not know the date of this horrific event, but I feel that people in San Francisco should know that this is an impostor, not the real Pseudonymous Bosch. In this case, I think you should post that this dreadful impostor will be appearing at City Lights Bookstore on your blog. I have scanned in the note, which I found in the chocolate aisle at my local supermarket.

A loyal reader,

Danielle.
