No, not Jack Kerouac (though that would be a trick!)
We’re talking JK Rowling, as in the publicity-shy author of the Harry Potter series!
Yes, that is correct, Ms. Rowling will be heading out to do several book tour dates, (in the U.S.) 4 to be exact. And, as if you couldn’t have guessed they are not in middle America:
These are the current dates and locations:
- Kodak Theater in L.A. on October 15
- The auditorium of the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center in New Orleans on October 18
- Carnegie Hall in NYC on October 19 - And, if I understood it correctly, Scholastic is doing a sweepstakes event for a 1000 people to win tickets to this event (no more info, yet)
- It was unclear about the forth scheduled event, except that it is in NYC and sounds like it may be for select students only
In fact, other than the Carnegie Hall event, the good people at Publishers Weekly stated the events are all directed toward students.
When I hear more, so will you! Of course, if you have more info now, please post away…
