Rhys reports from the road

Rhys posting on the wrong day. I'm on tour and just wanted to check in. After two really fun events in the Bay Area I was in Portland yesterday at Powells,which is a fabulous indie bookstore, and has a great online presence if you want to order books.

Really great crowd and a loud hilarious dinner with friends afterward. My favorite quote of the tour so far:

"It was one of my favorite novels about early fourteenth century Norway."  How many novels are there about 14th Century Norway??

Today I'm in steamy Houston at the gorgeous Houstonian hotel, amid lush trees. I think I might have time for a swim before I go to speak tonight. But I also need a nap. A car picked me up for the airport at 4:15 a.m. Not at my best at that time.

Tomorrow I'm at Poisoned Pen in Scottsdale, where I'm hosting a pot luck dinner. Should be fun. Then San Diego, LA and home for a couple of weeks.

Wow. You're really hopscotching back and forth across the country, aren't you?

And most of it is hot, hot hot but it's great to see the books in stores and to meet fans who tell me that they love Lady Georgie. Makes any inconvenience worthwhile.

Rhys; I so sorry I missed you! I was in my cave, working away on St. Augustine and didn't even realize you were in town.

It sounds like a wonderful signing!
