We are pleased to announce Holidaze With the Debs, a series of author events in the U.S. and Canada this holiday season. At bookstores, libraries and schools in the New York, Chicago, San Francisco and Toronto areas, members of the 2009 Debutantes will talk about their own books and other 2009 favorites. A full list of events is available below.
“Publishers are working with shrinking promotional budgets in this economy,” notes Rhonda Stapleton, author of STUPID CUPID (Simon Pulse). “As first-time authors, we know that much of our promotion is going to have to come from us, and over the last year we’ve also learned how much fun it is to do events together. So we’re especially excited to be able to talk to readers directly this holiday season.”

Wow! I like your blog's new look!
And another Wow! What a great book tour! I am hoping I may catch you all in Bolingbrook or Chicago on the fifth. It may be a hike, but I can see what I can do!
