Better late than never for me to “start spreading the news!”

As of today I’m setting out on my first-ever mini-book tour in support of my newly-re-released novel The Black Fire Concerto!”

I’ll be making a handful of stops in the great urban northeast over the next 30 days to stump for my novel of magic, music, and undead mayhem.

My thanks to Elizabeth Vantangoli with Ruadán Books for her hard-won efforts to make this tour a thing.

I’ll be in New York City this coming Saturday and the Tuesday that follows to read from and discuss The Black Fire Concerto and hang out with colleagues. Then there’s one more leg to the tour that takes me to the Boston region at the start of August.

It should be a ton of fun. Here’s what my schedule looks like — click on each graphic to go to the individual event pages and get all the details:

7/12, Queens, 7 p.m.: Kew and Willow Books w/ Claire Suzanne Elizabeth Cooney

7/15, Brooklyn, 7 p.m.: Brooklyn Books & Booze

And on Aug. 3 at 6:30 p.m. in Cambridge: Pandemonium Books & Games

A new review of The Black Fire Concerto

My gratitude goes out to reviewer Anthony R. Cardno for this fresh look at The Black Fire Concerto that offers glowing praise but also tackles head-on what makes the book so unlike most everything else out there (I can’t help it, it’s how my writer’s brain is wired, heh…)

Anthony has pledged to join Claire and I at Kew & Willow. It’s been a while since we’ve chatted in person, I’m looking forward to it.

Here I am on the train from Roanoke to New York early this morning after Anita saw me off at the Amtrak platform. I hope to see old friends and new faces in the Big Apple.
