A lot of them are from New Jersey and I think all of them are from the east coast. They will love your book. It was exciting to hear a radio interview with Lt. Colonel Lisa Scheiferstein from the 389th on the Bob Marrone show in Westchester. Hank, DEAD AIR is coming out January 5th. I tucked an ARC of DEAD AIR in my last box of goodies to the 389th, and they loved it and took turns reading it. So I'm sending some "real" books this time. It was very touching to hear how much they appreciate receiving reading material. It provides a few minutes of escape in a really tough situation. I'll include a note from Brad with FACES OF THE GONE, and Hank, I still have that drop-dead gorgeous promo piece from the CHARLIE MCNALLY MSYTERIES and will tuck that in with your books. I'm adding chocolate chip cookie dough truffles (Janet Rudolph's recipe) and egg nog cookies (Cleo Coyle's recipe) And Kahlua brownies, (my recipe) Books and food, I can't go wrong! I'll keep you posted, thanks for introducing us to Brad!Mary Kennedynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-32050326577084232542009-12-30T00:15:37.134-05:002009-12-30T00:15:37.134-05:00The tour sounds great, Brad.

And I'm sure there are many more wonderful things to come.<br /><br />I'm putting together notebooks and posters for the tour, making sure we all have luggage tags and boarding passes and probably t-shirts. Cleveland, here we come. And yes, there'll be room on the bus for your interns!<br /><br />As for our mutual pal--that is HILARIOUS and the world is as small as it can get. Amazing!<br />xxo<br /><br />Thanks for being here today! <br /><br />Stay tuned for more fun guests each day this week..Wednesday, Toni Kelner and a mysterious pin-up girl.

Two big stops coming up in New Jersey: Jan. 26 at Caldwell College, where I'll attempt to fool people into thinking I'm intelligent; Jan. 28 at Princeton Library, where I clearly won't be fooling anyone. Feb. 5 I'll be at Books on the Common in Ridgefield, CT (my hometown!) and there may be another CT stop thrown in there. Plus there may be a DC stop. And some more Virginia visits. Oh, so much more.<br /><br />Not sure if I get as far North as Boston. But if I do, Hank, I'll likely be visiting someone we have in common. Think hard: When you read in FACES OF THE GONE about Tommy Hernandez, a Gay Cuban newspaper reporter, did that sound familiar at all?

Jen could be the cruise director. Hank would be the moderator/spokeswoman/public face anytime we needed to look respectable. We'd dress Rosemary in black, thus giving us mystique. Sophie could play the Mom role (sorry, darlin'... I know it's not sexy... but I can just see you doling out the snacks during the long stretches of interstate).
