The Last Bookaneer hits the shelves
Dear Friends,
Today my new novel The Last Bookaneer arrived. I hope you'll run, or at least walk briskly, to your favorite store and pick up a copy or click the buy button of your favorite website.
In The Last Bookaneer, a golden era of literary piracy approaches its end as two rivals converge on Robert Louis Stevenson's island home to try to retrieve his final masterpiece. I really hope you'll be one of the first to read it. Bookpage Magazine writes the novel "seamlessly braids fact and fiction into an imaginative yarn that will enthrall bibliophiles and adventure fans alike," Newsday calls it "a seductive read," and the New York Post just labeled it "required reading" (is there some way to enforce that?). It's also an IndieNext selection (chosen by independent bookstores).
I'll be starting my book tour at Harvard Bookstore in Cambridge, Mass., this Friday, May 1 and then will be in Seattle, Southern California, Northern California, Houston, St. Louis, Chicago and Cincinnati. Tour details below… If I'm coming to a bookstore near you, I hope you'll say hi. I will have some manuscript pages to give out at my events, and I always give first dibs to the person who has traveled the farthest. If you don't live near any of the venues, most stores happily accommodate requests to purchase a signed book over the phone and have it shipped.
Please share this message with anyone you think might be interested and also any members of book clubs looking for a new pick. If you'd like to help me spread the word please tweet with the tag #thelastbookaneer or post on your Facebook page about the book.

Yours sincerely,
