I may have mentioned two or three (thousand) times that my first novel If You Were Here comes out next Tuesday.

What's it about? 

It's about toilets raining from the ceiling. 

It's about a spite-fueled campaign to bring down a local gang member and Stephenie Meyer. 

It's about forty-five dollar light bulbs and turf wars over ornamental cabbages and why HGTV causes smart people to make terrible choices. 

It's about how one fictional teenager with a brush-cut and a birthday cake completely alters everyone's life and bank account. 

It's about vaguely homicidal and occasionally naked Polish grandmothers. 

And it neatly answers the question, "What if Paris Hilton were my landlord?"

You can read an excerpt here.

As for the tour, please check with the individual bookstore regarding their policies about signings as they will vary. 

Sometimes tickets are required, sometimes a purchase is required.  Sometimes they'll only allow one older book to be signed from your collection.  I'm extremely grateful these stores are taking the time, effort, and expense to host us.  Please note any criterion the individual bookseller sets is meant to keep lines moving and accommodate as many readers as possible, so I ask you to please respect their rules.
