Utah?

[Spriggan]

What he meant by that was book tours are expensive and he's waiting to have two book companies help pay for an East Coast trip.  Also having the weight of those two publishers will help get him locations.

He usually hits NYC in the spring or early summer to visit Tor and his agent but has yet to do a signing.

Ack!  Don't make me go to Ebay!

Seriously, though, that makes sense.  I'm still allowed to hope he does a book signing and in the meantime if his agent and/or Tor suck at picking out pizza places I'll post a list .

Decided to move this since it was a busy thread and it should be in this forum.

Oi.  I'm afraid I expected this topic to be much more interesting based on the title "Utah?" and the number of responses it had already received.  I'm sure if I'd tried something like "Oregon?" it would have died halfway through my post.

Some answers:

linternet,

I'll be in New York for sure sometime in the next year.  My goal is to get out there around the time of the release of the MISTBORN paperback, which should be around May or June.

Seeker,

Most authors tend to sell very well in their home state, because they can do more booksignings there.  I've managed to publicize myself very well in Utah.  Of course, it's still only the number three state for sales on my books (California and New York, by virtue of population, have quite an advantage.)  

Did I post somewhere that I'm doing a signing on the 7th of this month?  Because as far as I know, I've got one tonight (well, not really a signing.  A meeting with BYU's Quark SF club) and one in Salt Lake on the 27th.  Did I forget about one?

Also, it's no surprise that your father doesn't know me.  If he happens to be in the English department, he might have heard of me.  However, since I only teach adjunct--and only one class a year--I'm not really around all that often.

It says October 7th.  But yeah my dad works with The department of plant and animal sciences.  Not close to english   lol

[EUOL]

lol.  That's right.  That store, unfortunately, closed!  The mall itself is closing down for remodeling.  I suppose I should mention that on the website!  Thanks for reminding me.  

[Seeker]

Nooooo! that was my last chance.  Lol.  oh well.  pretend to sign my Mistborn copy right here.

I was supposed to be there when he signed Mistborn at Waldens but I forgot that I had to work that day.  And that's terrible that the store in Salt Lake closed...though I couldn't have made it due to some sibling wedding nonsense I'm supposed to attend.

[Seeker]

There was a copy of Mistborn already signed on the shelf, like a day after he was at Waldenbooks, but I had to wait a few more days to get my paycheck and when i returned, it was long gone.

[Princess_Luney]

I found one at Borders after I'd already bought a copy.  

[EUOL]

Seeker,

I WILL be at the Gateway mall in Salt Lake at the end of the month.  That's very close to where the Borders used to be--it's only about three blocks south of Temple Square.  

I'll also be at BYU on November 14th.  So, if you live in the area, I should be signing close to you sometime in the near future.  It just won't be this weekend.  

[Seeker]

Awesome I'll probably catch you then in November.  

[Fellfrosch]

The Gateway is actually west of Temple Square, lest anyone go the wrong direction and miss the signing.

[EUOL]

Oops.  Right.  I had my directions screwed up.  Nice catch.
