Smart Chicks Kick It Tour dates & places!

It's final! The Smart Chicks Kick It Tour has lined up dates for its fall sweep of North America. This is a tour entirely organized and sponsored by a group of authors who write young adult paranormal novels.

Many of them, as you can see from the list below, are famous. Many are New York Times bestsellers.

And then there's me. I'm not sure how I got to be on this tour, honestly. Possibly I was wearing glasses around one of them and they thought that meant I was smart, when really I just had dust on my contact lens.

To follow the continuing adventures of the Smart Chicks tour, become our fan on Facebook, or follow us on Twitter.

Yes, I am still pinching myself. Yes, it still hurts, so I guess that means this is real.

Stay tuned for my BEA schedule, coming up at the end of May! That whimpering in the background is my dog telling me not to ever leave home again. Or maybe it's my husband.

That's awesome Jeri! Too bad I won't be able to visit during the tour.

However, I'll be at BEA and will eagerly await your schedule. :)

Yay! I look forward to meeting you. I know for sure that I'll be signing at BEA 3-3:30pm Thursday, May 26, at the Romance Writers of America (RWA) booth.

The rest is all off-site at bookstores and libraries and still being nailed down. Should know within the next couple of weeks!

Fantastic! Wow, looks like you're super busy!

Oh, bother. Just one teeny tiny itty bitty grumble that the Smart Chicks Kick It Tour picked Chapters Brampton for the Toronto stop seeing as how Brampton isn't quite Toronto(it's a city in the Greater Toronto Area that's about a 45 min. drive out). *grumble* Okay, now that that's done with, I'll have to see if I can find a way out there. :)

Hi Pissenlit! I hope you can make it out to Brampton so we can finally meet in person. :-) The tour coordinators did the best they could to find stores that could accommodate us all and that were available on the dates we needed to keep the tour rolling on schedule. It was a pretty huge undertaking to set this tour up, and I am personally in awe of their efforts and so grateful to be included.

Hey - don't sell yourself short! You belong there :-)
I'm going to BEA so hopefully I can get Shade signed to join the growing Jeri SMith-Ready collection!

Hooray, Karen! It'll be great to meet you. At BEA I'm signing at the RWA booth (3484) on Thursday, 3-3:30. I'll announce it again in a separate post when I get all my BEA events squared away.

Thanks, Paula! I'm very excited, too. It'll be nice to do a booksigning where I know people will show up. ;-)
