Calling all Bitchery members: I’m looking to put together the bargain book tour, wherein I drive like madness and show up in a host of places. Trouble is, I’m not sure the best way to approach the planning. On one hand, I can start looking for bookstores in major areas and commence flirting, but the peculiar and awesome thing about the Smart Bitch Book is that I’m just as interested in meeting the readers of this here website as I am curious who will be interested in the book, the site, and romance as a genre. It’s like a big sociology experiment and book tour in one!
So rather than aim for the stores and plan around them, I figured I’d ask you: where do you think I should go? Got a splendid romance-friendly bookstore to recommend? A Borders or Barnes and Noble outpost with an exceptional romance selection? Or a library that has very romance-friendly librarians? I want to know about it, where it is, and who to contact. If you don’t want to leave that info in the comments, please email me and put “Smart Bitch Book Tour” in the subject line. (My inbox is the scariest place in the universe, even more freakish than the sink trap after I wash toddler dishes.)
I’m flexible and curious, so I’ll go anywhere. My goal is to meet as many people who read the site as possible, spread the word about man-titty and the marvelousness of romance, talk about our site, and the book, and see some of the outstanding book collections for sale or rent that focus on the Lurrrrrve™. If you’re a romance author and you’d like to team up, please feel free to contact me as well.
I’m located in northern New Jersey, if you didn’t know, and I work in Manhattan, so anywhere in the New York Metro area is totally open. I’m definitely going to be in Doylestown, PA, and in Manhattan somewhere (look for the thigh highs! NOT!), plus there’s a likelihood that Iowa will be graced with my loud and boisterous countenance, but if there’s buses, trains, flights or even car rides in store, I will try to draft an itinerary within my budget and my ability to squeeze pennies out of online flight vendors.
So let me know, and help me plan the Bitch Book Tour. Bring it on!
