A book tour takes shape!
I have two new books coming out in September and November 2010 and I'd love to get out in the world to share them, meet you, hear your stories, play ping pong (BEWARE, I was the 7th grade ping pong champion), and perhaps eat some baklava or carmelized cauliflower together.
When Life is a Verb came out, I went to 43 cities hosted by readers (WOW! That's what I call a true grassroots tour!) and had a blast, made lifelong friends, played Bingo-A-Go-Go, and even visited the Football Hall of Fame and saw Johnny Unitas' helmet and jersey!
Would you like me to come to your town? Or participate via Skype with your book club? Let me know by sending an email to patti@pattidigh.com with BOOK TOUR as the subject line.
Dates will be added to this list as they are confirmed. We're just beginning! I still am harboring my dream of creating an Airstream Art Bus to tour around in, so who knows how I'll circumnavigate the globe for this tour! (If you know of an Airstream for sale, or have one to loan me, let me know).
