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.
