Tomorrow morning, I’ll be rolling out of bed before dawn and making my way to O’Hare for the first of two flights that will eventually land me in Great Falls, Montana, where I’ll be meeting up with James Grady, Jamie Ford, David Abrams, Gwen Florio, Eric Heidle, and Yvonne Seng for Day Two of the Montana Noir tour. In various combinations, we’ll be criss-crossing the state until we reach my hometown of Missoula, Montana, to wrap things up with a gala reading including no fewer than NINE contributors at the Montana Book Festival.
This book has been a real labor of love and I’m so excited to finally present it to the readers of Montana. If you live in Montana, I hope you can catch us at one of the tour stops below. If you don’t live in Montana, order the book and join us in spirit!
