Spent much of the weekend signing copies of “Saving Simon,” the book comes out Tuesday morning. I signed more than 500 books this weekend and as many photo postcards that are being shipped out with them, and I have become plotting my own guerrilla Orphan Book Tour, Simon chose to live and I chose to fight for my book about him. It is great fun to go to Battenkill Books, Connie and Marilyn and Kate are so much fun to work with, and they are superbly well organized, I would be up to my neck in chaos if it were me organizing and shipping these books, but Connie’s system is a marvel. These books will be sent out Monday and Tuesday, nearly 100 orders came in online last night, others on the phone: 518 677-215.

Going back Monday afternoon. Thanks to the good people who called the bookstore this morning to order books and say hello, it was great fun talking to you.
