Yay! You need to come to Newfoundland though…
I can't believe you are only doing one Toronto date. I so look forward to seeing you and was disappointed that I missed you in Fergus this year. Any idea when you will be back there? Are there possibly any more Canadian dates still to come? PLEASE!!
Yay Canada! Not sure if I'll be able to talk my husband into a ticket for the Calgary event on top of buying a book, but I'll try!
I will definitely be at the Edmonton signing! However its too bad you could only do a signing. And at a Costco? Very glamorous haha! Oh well i will take what you can give :).
See you in Vancouver!
By the way, I know my memory really isn't what it should be, but aren't Brian and Ellen Jamie's parents, not Roger's? I'll go back and check the book, somewhere!Anyway, anything you write about Jamie's or Roger's parents will be eaten up by your fans.
Yay for Ottawa I said smiling to myself, and then I saw the date. My smile faded because it is the day my 11 year old son has surgery.
I can't believe I will miss you!!! If only I could time travel after the surgery and get your book signed. Big sigh! sniff! sniff! Got to go blow my nose now. : (
……is there a UK book tour events to come???
You are going to be exhausted!!
I will keep my eyes open and alert for any more signings in ABQ and Santa Fe. I'm so bummed that I missed it!
HOORAY for Halifax and Saskatoon! My sister is going to be there in Halifax and I am going to make the trip in October to Saskatoon! It's 5 hours each way so I will pack up the family and spend the weekend in there!
Yay!! See you in Calgary!
Dear gypsy–
Sorry, that's it! There's only one of me, is the problem. [g] And two solid months on the road is…you know, enough.
Dear Zahia–
Yes, Brian and Ellen are Jamie's parents. In the fullness of time, I'll be writing a _book_ about them.
Right now, I'm meant to be writing a _short story_ for an anthology, and that one will be about Roger's parents.
Dear Donna–
Yes, the UK publisher says they want me to come in January, when the book is released there. I'll post dates for that (and for Germany, which comes in March) when I have them.
Dear Angelina–
Oh, I'm sorry to hear about your son! Hope the surgery is minor and goes well!
Yay for Halifax! Have put it on my calendar. I"m so excited the book is out. Have preordered it online and hoping it gets here in time for the signing! Recently re-read Breath of Snow and Ashes so i'm all set for the new one!
YEAH! Halifax. I will see you there!
Shannon
Looking forward to seeing you in Edmonton. Are we limited to the number of books you will sign? I would like to bring all of mine to be signed.
Dear bvrooks–
I don't ever mind signing additional books. Sometimes a bookstore will ask to limit the number, if there's a monster crowd, but usually there's no problem.
"Dear Donna–

YAY! thank you! Ohhh I hope I can make it to see you, unlikely that you'll come to Tobermory but maybe Oban?????
I could at a stretch make Glasgow or Perth!!! 
I am so excited you are coming to Winnipeg!!! I have been waiting *patiently* for Echo to come out!!!! Can't wait to see you/hear you/ and hopefully meet you!!
