This summer, I will be embarking on a delusional search for freedom of my own: The War in October Summer Book tour. I'll kick things off in downtown Chicago on June 11th from 10am-2pm at the Printer's Row Lit Fest, one of the largest outdoor literature festivals in America. The following Thursday, June 16th, I will be performing my first public reading at the Carnegie Public Library in Angola, Indiana at 6:30pm. Two days later, on Saturday, June 18th from 10am-5pm, I will be at the Ann Arbor Book Festival in downtown Ann Arbor Michigan. I will then move throughout Indianapolis promoting my book, including an Open Mic Night hosted by AIM @ 4155 Blvd Pl Indianapolis, IN an author signing hosted by Half Price Books on Friday, June 24th from 6:30-8pm, and an event hosted by Porter Books and Bread on June 26th from 2-4pm. Late June and early July will see me humming around the south selling my books to stores and random readers with probable stops in Appalachia, Asheville, and Sanford Florida. I will return back to Indiana for an event with Indy Reads Books on July 10th and the Angola Arts Fest in downtown Angola on July 16th. Sunday, July 17th will mark the day of my author open house in Angola, IN (email nicholasugs@gmail.com or call 260-316-0614 for details). I will close the tour with a joint hip hop show/book release featuring the amazing T-Zank on July 22nd at Cahoots Coffee Cafe in Angola, Indiana. I hope to see you at one or all of these events!
