Return of Bookseller's Brainchild Puts First-Time Authors on the Rocks
Five authors in six cities in six nights. That's the plan for the 2004 First Fiction Tour, which will bring five debut authors representing five publishing houses to venues on the West Coast and in the Southwest from October 17 - 22. An independent bookstore in each of the six cities has organized an event that will be hosted onstage at a local bar. "It'll be like a rock 'n' roll show," said Craig Popelars, director of marketing for participating publisher Algonquin Books of Chapel Hill.
