Three weeks from today I'll be at the brand-new Barnes & Noble store in the lovely town of Keene, New Hampshire. As part of their grand opening, the store is having a score of authors from all over New England sign books and do readings during the month of July. I'll be doing my part by reading from The Miranda Conspiracy at 5 p.m. on July 18. You can see the announcement here.

This isn't just self-promotion. Bookstores are a fragile link in the literary and publishing world, so it's always wonderful to see a new store opening up. Come on up to New Hampshire to show your support and buy some books — no sales tax!
