Good thing he wasn't here today when I wrote the last paragraph. Flood city.<br /><br />Sigh.<br /><br />So relieved to be out of the graveyard...but tomorrow I'm going for reals at night with a bunch of teens. H-hm. Research. After all, I still need to rewrite Night of Skulls a few times and I might pick up some cool scary details!<br /><br />TOUR NOTE: just because the city listed is, say, San Francisco, that doesn't mean I won't be in a nearby town / city. I know I'm scheduled for Hicklebee's in San Jose, and in the Chicago area Anderson's Bookshop in Naperville. It's a couple of months away yet, so I'll update you when I know more.<br /><br />Thanks, everyone, for your comments. I'll see you Sunday (Halloween, yay!).<br /><br />PS Steffuny, your video is hilarious! Funny girl :-)<br /><br />PPS O4E: Definitely call me Wendelin<br /><br />Bookworm: Yeah, I know. But I'm not in control of the site --RH is. I'm hoping it'll get updated before tour. <br /><br />PPPS: The Catsup Story: Only Lillian "Wild Ride" Penchansky knows the full story and for her sake I'm not going to share it. But it is quite a story.<br /><br />PPPPS: Obviously this comment structure was well thought out. :-)Wendelin Van Draanenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02534698736990684819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3004974476643738026.post-2387509308126718212010-10-29T14:53:27.765-07:002010-10-29T14:53:27.765-07:00Tears of joy?

Can't wait to read Wedding Crasher, Night of Skulls, and watch The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. (DECEMBER 10 !!!!!!!!!)<br /><br />Please tell us the catsup story! :-) And good luck on your book tour!

However, I just wanted to let you know that she's finishing up "Night of Skulls". And she's CRYING! (That's not a bad thing, in this context. That's a very good sign...)<br /><br />So don't tell her I told you.

XD lol please :). And honestly, if you don't wear pants and charge for your awesome Leg Story(you. are. brilliant!), wear shorts and keep your eyes darting back and forth suspiciously and see if someone accuses you of STEALING the sucker from someone else. That would be hilarious :D. Whatever you do, carrying around such an interesting prop will likely give you the opportunity to tell more people about your book, and is definitely memorable! Good luck on the tour! I won't be able to attend...(NONE of those stops are near me! WWWHHHYYY?!?! Sorry, calming down again), wish I could though! (and I commented on the post before last, by the way, explaining my temporary disappearance). I didn't realize how brutal book tours were... no wonder I rarely hear about them!

This is why it sucks to live in the Chicago "suburbs" and not the actual city, because then everyone goes to the city and the poor suburban area is sitting around like, What?
