Was in Seattle at Auburn Library Friday night, where @thatnerdchick slipped me some Chipotle to I could dine in my preferred style in the green room: Then it was a lot of this fun action: Got back to the room pushing midnight, and wired, had to pack and be ready for my car at 2:30am […]

Great time. But, first? My executive hotel room at Grand America has a DOORBELL: Then/Saturday, it was the event (for which they brought in Chipotle, which of course was and is the dream): And then . . . Fear Factory with Friends! And Phillip Fracassi snagged a photo that showed my true teeth, oops:
Couldn’t have been a better time. And, it started on Thursday, really: en route to Telluride with my wife Nancy (the luxury of driving, since I’m in Colorado . . . ), we swung by Paonia Books so I could do an event with Paolo Bacigalupi: Then it was crash-landing at the Horror Summit with
When the original post isn’t even called “Part 1″—didn’t know more was coming in. But, sure enough, here’s a recording of the full panel: (maybe this is part of the above one? no time to check . . .)
Was a blast: Night before was the big party. SA Cosby and me just before: Though, later that night, just before it closed I need some of this, of course: After another run to Chipotle (next day), I stumbled on: Then it was the panel, with Christine Li and Amber Spark, moderated by Tobias Caroll:
Great time. Got to talk to Scott Turow a bit the night before—and right after having finished Presumed Guilty! Got to hang at the Jefferson Building (I think?) with Paul Tremblay and Agustina Bazterrica: Whatever building or place it was, it was right across from this: I thought that was the White House, but my
Couldn’t have been a better time. Keynote yesterday, interview and forever signing line today. If more pics show up, I’ll sneak them into this post.
Right at the end of the first draft of a novel, so don’t have proper time/headspace to annotate all these, or find the rest of them (and, I only know BlueSky . . .). In short: couldn’t have been better. Travel all went smooth as could be, the crowds were great, the signing lines trailed

Ah, coming home, it’s such sweet . . . it’s just sweet. I mean, a crowd like this (over at the library, as there wasn’t enough room in the bookstore): And, I’m woefully late to trying to scrape posts &etc up to document this event. But, I did find these: https://bsky.app/profile/paperbackbish.bsky.social/post/3lmhmi34vuc2x Anyway, couldn’t have been
Only virtual event of the tour, but? That means it’s also one of two of them to get recorded:
No registration required, just join the Google Meet. Which . . . I hear it’s somehow in the pop-up on that link? Or, maybe if you mail it (the link?) to yourself, that works? Kind of a mystery to me. Really, I should probably be looking into how I’M supposed to be logging on .
Great night, fun event: BJ Robbins, my agent was there, I got to be on stage with my good friend Tod Goldberg, and . . . and there was a student from my grad workshop back in Boulder there, even! (AWP started the next day). Here’s Tod and me: Great seeing Trish again, too. Last
Thanks to Lorin Elise for the video below, here. And? She was the audience star for the whole tour: interviewed me on stage at Tattered Cover (Denver), then was at the Strand and here as well. But, this is Chris LaTray and me in the video: https://bsky.app/profile/paperbackbish.bsky.social/post/3ll3efbtpxk2z Got to see Robert Hall and Lois Welch,
Hadn’t been to this city for a good while, and never when it wasn’t just frozen-cold. Only needed my light Carhartt this time, though, and my going-to-town boots worked just fine. Thank you, Birchbark Books: https://bsky.app/profile/jameknight.bsky.social/post/3lkxyqz3ay42p And . . . here’s how I spent the afternoon after:
Biggest headcount of the tour so far: 325! Biggest space, too, which probably had something to do with that. But? Someone who was interviewing me earlier in that day, they assured me that St. Louis comes out for book events. I believe it. And, yeah, end up being one of those signing lines where Word
