US signing for The Inheritance

Just  a very quick update here as I've been getting a few queries about this.

The US launch of The Inheritance will be at the University Book Store in Seattle, with the honorable Duane Wilkins, Bookseller, presiding.    I hope to make this special, so do keep checking back here for updates.  The date for this is May 5, 2011 and the time will be 7PM, so do reserve these slots on your calendar!  I will do a reading, take some questions and sign some books.  I hope to see many of you there.

As an aside, Iwill add that I am always very grateful for the bookstores that invite me (and other authors) to come in and sign.  They do so at expense to themselves, with an investment of time and money as they prepare a space, make sure stock is on hand and that they have personnel for the event.  Sometimes we even keep them late after the store would ordinarily have closed.  I request that readers who enjoy these events please purchase the book at the venue hosting the signing.  I do realize that some people simply come to hear the reading and meet the author and others who are there, and that is fine and you are always welcome.  But if you can make a purchase of some kind that evening, it helps to let the store know that you value what they do, and it increases the chance that there will be more events for you to attend.

So, thanks again, Duane and University Book Store for inviting me to launch yet another book from your store.
