Yikes, I'm leaving for a book tour in India in (*checks watch*) three and a half hours.
For the past two days I've been prepping for jet lag, trying to stay up very late and sleep during the day. Somehow my internal clock just can't get over waking up at 6:30am, no matter what time I go to bed. Sad.
This isn't a publisher-sponsored book tour, but one sponsored by the American Center, which is the cultural arm of the U.S. Embassy. Each stop has planned different things, plus I'm doing an event for the books' distributor over there, Penguin-India.
Anyway, I'm all packed! It's going to be all kinds of crazy fun, beginning with the Bookaroo children's book festival in New Delhi, and then stops in Hyderabad, Chennai, Kolkata, and Mumbai. Then home on December 8th. Whee! So excited.

Before I go! A heads up that the Bridget Kicks Cancer auction is going on right now and includes an item from me: a full manuscript critique PLUS a referral to my awesome agent, Caitlin Blasdell, who will read a 50 page partial.
Another thing is that the amazingly wonderful author and all-around nice guy Patrick Rothfuss (author of The Name of the Wind, pretty much the best book I read last year) is raising money for Heifer International. The deal is, your contribution enters you in a drawing to win one of a long list of prizes, including signed first editions of the Magic Thief series.
Here is Patrick's blog and the information needed to enter.
