I would be thrilled for him to appear in western Kentucky, Paducah is probably the most viable option. While we have a wonderful art community and many tourist opportunities, The National Quilt Museum i just one of them, we get over looked for most events such as this. The city is easy to get around, economically reasonable to stay and eat in, along with having a burgeoning literary and film community.   Kentucky is such a large state, events usually happen in Louisville or Lexington and that can be 5 hour, 6 hour or longer trip from other parts of the state.
A good alternative would be Nashville, TN - a larger area with many more bookstores.  It's also a very easy city to get around, park, etc.with lots of book stores.  Nashville is also closer to much of Kentucky that Lexington or Louisville.  It's just a two hour drive from Paducah, about five from St. Louis, MO.  Nashville also has an annual large book event, which I think is over the summer.
What a thrill it would be it would be for a book signing to take place there!

 ??? ??? :'( :'( :'( STILL no Albuquerque????

I admit it's hot here, but after all, he DID write about Camp Kaboom and needs to see what he was writing about!

Besides, I STILL can't get to any of the other locations.... Can't afford the virtual signing, either. Can't WAIT for the book to get shipped...

Keep it together, hon.

Maybe next year? I've never been there myself, but I've heard some folks say it's a swingin' place!

(Of course, my home state of Minnesota has a few things to recommend it as well.  ;D)

He's afraid he'll miss the left turn.

Orlando would be awesome, but failing that, Dragon*Con in Atlanta, GA would be great and provide a lot more exposure than most venues (since people like me will travel to be there for the full weekend event).  Sadly, I see he's already doing Atlanta at the end of July, so while I will *hope*, I won't hold my breath.  =)

Is there any chance that Jim would come for a London book signing at some point in the near future?

DF is getting bigger here, its gone from one or two books to having its own shelf in the sci fi section with every released book since I've started reading. And that's just my (small) local bookstore.

Hey, since he's in Naperville, he could just turn right, head towards WI, on his way to...well whatever's next and stop by my place, that way I don't have to worry about the doc yelling because I'm driving so far from home alone.  It's just near the border of WI/IL, so real close, kind of, to Naperville. :D
I believe in True Love, Susan and Harry will always be the one true love, because even reminders of that love will always remain.

San Francisco or San Jose CA. I met Jim there once when  Turn Coat came out and would love to see him again!
