Happy New Year from Book Tour!

Well hello 2008, whatcha knowin? We were greeted this new year by a big wet kiss from Silicon Valley info-funnel Valleywag.

...one of those why-didn't-I-think-of-that sites. It scratches a specific itch to bring together touring book authors and the people who go to see them. Bespectacled novelist groupies are spared from the non-bookish mob at Upcoming -- and vice versa. A billion-dollar idea? Of course not. But a required, um, bookmark among the New York literati by March? Yeah, I'll bet a buck on that.

Thanks folks!

Now that we're in such a good mood, let us add that we at BookTour are super excited about this push into the second calendar year of our existence. We've got several big announcements coming down the pike, each designed to make BookTour the absolute easiest way for authors, events and readers locate one another. We can't wait to let you in on them when the time comes.

As always, we couldn't do any of it without the authors, publishers, venues and readers that use our site and offer such valuable feedback. So keep at it. And so will we.

I love this idea and wish I could join in on the BookTour portion. BUT cannot seem to get to the profile page to edit or add my books.

I see my name, and only the amount of miles to list authors book tours. NO PAGE to add my books or other bio information.

SO I will try here.
