Will There Be Another A Land Remembered Tour?

Will there be another A Land Remembered tour in 2021? Or beyond?

I’m not too sure.

But I do have an offer for you if I am not going to be able to do it. I’ll get to that in a bit.

The A Land Remembered Tour

I’ve spent several months a year for the past seven years going on speaking tours all around Florida presenting my show “Patrick Smith’s Florida Is A Land Remembered. It’s all about the novels my father wrote with particular emphasis on his best-known work, A Land Remembered. It really takes you back in time in Florida.

I’ve had audiences as large as 1,200 people attend and whatever the venue, it’s usually a full or overflow audience.

Now that we’re all living with the coronavirus and the need for social distancing, I have serious doubts that I’ll be able to launch a successful tour in 2021 and maybe never again. The limitations of social distancing will not allow for large, closely spaced audiences and I doubt that many venues will be willing to host my shows any time soon.

However, there is something special I can do for you that I offer to my audiences.

My Special Offer

[image error]Aside from the presentation, which well over 30,000 people have enjoyed, people love buying books and having them autographed at the shows. Fortunately, my parents named me Patrick D. Smith, Jr., so I always say it’s as close as you will get to a Patrick D. Smith autograph. It has been very popular and I’ve autographed many thousands of books.

Now you can get your books autographed as well!

There’s only one stipulation.

[image error]You do have to order from me as my website is the only place I can do that because I have the books in stock. So, if you want autographed Patrick D. Smith books you can still get them.

Order from the A Land Remembered website here and in the comments section just tell me how you want them autographed. My standard format says: “To (insert name here) With Best Wishes, Patrick D. Smith, Jr.” and then I date it. That’s exactly how my dad did it but you can request them personalized to you or the recipient and I can add anything else such as “Happy Birthday,” “A True Florida Cracker,” “Welcome To Florida” or whatever you want.

There is no extra charge for the autograph.

I’ll definitely miss meeting so many fans of my dad’s novels and I hope to resume the tours sometime in the future. In the meantime, I hope you are keeping safe and sane in this new world we’re living in.
