That's right: Last week I had the pleasure of visiting Miami and New Orleans.

(Plus Philadelphia and Washington and Atlanta, but those stops were only on account of airline complications and reroutings and cancellations. Have I mentioned how much I love Amtrak?)

At any rate, I'm back from the Humidity Circuit, and the official stops were a delight. Books & Books in Coral Gables, and Garden District Books in New Orleans.

Meanwhile, I'm blogging elsewhere today—on the subject of "Approaching Authors: Dead and Otherwise"—over at ReadingGroupGuides.com, the Online Community for Reading Groups. Check it out!
