"Chris Bohjalian’s best book yet and that is saying a lot. Of course it’s a page-turner, with the usual Bohjalian qualities of fine writing, deep characters and insight, but this time in Africa. On Safari, with Hollywood types. I was in heaven.” — Anne Lamott, Bestselling Author of Dusk, Night, Dawn and Bird by Bird

Dear Friends Who Read and Readers Who Are Friends,
I have missed you the last two years.
And so I'm thrilled to share with you the news that I will get to see many of you in May. THE LIONESS roars May 10.
Behold THE LIONESS In-Person Safari Book Tour: 15 live appearances in four time zones and a pair of really fun virtual events.
https://chrisbohjalian.com/events/ You can also find the details on my Facebook page.
This is my first in-person tour since 2019, so we will have:
— The official Lake Champlain Chocolates THE LIONESS Chocolate Bar as swag. (They're scrumptious.)
— Some of your favorite writers joining me in conversation, including Janelle Brown, Katie Crouch, Fiona Davis, Emily Henry, Stephen Kiernan, Stephen Kurkjian, Paula McLain, Dolen Perkins-Valdez, Lisa Scottoline, John Searles, Brendan Slocumb, and Adriana Trigiani.
And, yes, we will have books.
In its spring fiction preview, the New York Times wrote, “If you’re getting on a long flight and have no idea what to bring, Bohjalian’s novels are always a safe bet…[he] steers this runaway Land Rover of a story into some wildly entertaining territory.”
Now, if I am not coming to your city, fear not. I signed lots of books and your local bookstore might have some. Also, the Barnes & Noble Exclusive Edition is gorgeous, and comes with a dozen photographs that my lovely bride took when I was researching the novel in the Serengeti.
And if you want a personalized copy? Call the Vermont Book Shop at (802) 388-2061. Before you place your order, simply write in your personalization request under “Order Comments” at the bottom of the order form. It works like a charm.

I hope to meet many of you on the road.
In the meantime? Thank you so much for your faith in what words and reading and books can mean to the soul.
All the best,
Chris B.
