Not to late at all. I'll get a book out to you when you send me your address.

[Veens]

This is a cool thing.. I have never had the chance to participate in such tours. It sounds exciting and fun.

Can people outside US, participate?!

Let me know, I would love to participate.

[Meghan]

You sent me this book already, Miriam - I'll be happy to post the review on that day with everyone else!

[Serena Agusto-Cox]

Has anyone received this book yet? I haven't and was just wondering how long that takes. I'm new to the book tour thing.

[Miriam Parker]

Hi all. Some folks on the list didn't get the book yet because I ran out of galleys. I have an order in at our warehouse so as soon as the finished books come in, they will ship out to you. If you think we should push back the tour date from October 29th to mid-November, please let me know.

[Corinne]

I haven't gotten the book yet :)

[Miriam Parker]

I know not all of you have gotten the book yet (I promise it will arrive soon, this week, most likely.) But check out this video of the author telling the story behind the story. It's a great tale of fathers and daughters:

Thanks Miriam for posting this. I love hearing authors talk about their books and putting a face to a name. It makes it all the better once you start to read. I am looking forward to Life After Genius!

[Brenda Branson]

Thanks for sharing - very interesting and makes me want to know more about her "real" father - his reaction to the book Can't wait to get my copy.

[Toni Gomez]

I Loved this interview!!!

[Antonette]

Miriam,
I will be reviewing Your Roots Are Showing sometime this month. I am trying to figure out what I plan on reading for the month and posting about for the month.

I would love to ask Ms. Jacoby the following questions for my blog if possible:

Do you have a set writing routing? Do you get up early and start writing or do you write when the mood hits?

Was the research and writing process for Life After Genius different from your normal writing process?

Do you have any advice of writers just starting out?

What are your favorite rewards for reaching your writing goals and why?

Are you working on any other projects, and if so would you care to tantalize my readers with a few hints?
