Australia travel plans (partial)

OK, at long last, I have some tour dates for Australia! This is NOT a final or complete list, but this is the larger part of my public appearances Down Under, so take a look:

SYDNEY:

Event name: Author talk with Dymocks Sydney
Date: Monday 16th August
Time: 6.30pm
Venue: Dendy Opera Quays Cinema, 9/2 Circular Quay, Sydney
Cost: $20 members of SMH Dymocks Events / Students & Non-Members $22. Talk and signing session

I have no idea what it is I’m supposed to be doing that’s worth $20 to get in. I hope they don’t ask me to pole dance. A NIGHT OF ADVENTURE.

Event name: Signing at Big W Eastgardens
Date: Tuesday 17th August
Time: 4pm
Venue: Big W at Westfield Eastgardens, Level: 2, Store M1, 152 Bunnerong Rd., Eastgardens NSW 2036
Cost: Free

No pole dancing here.

BRISBANE:

Event name: Author event with Dymocks Albert Street
Date: Wednesday 18th August
Time: 5pm
Venue: Shop D17, 177 Albert Street (Cnr Elizabeth & Albert), Brisbane
Cost: Free

This will be my first day in Brisbane! (They have scheduled me to spend my first day in Sydney — after plane trips that total about 19 hours — just sort of sitting around blinking. Trust me, this is for the best.)

Event name: Public signing at Angus and Robertson Morayfield
Date: Thursday 19th August
Time: 4pm
Venue: Angus and Robertson Morayfield, Shop 62 Morayfield Shopping Centre, Morayfield Road, Morayfield, 4506
Cost: Free

It is my opinion that this venue does not have enough “Morayfield” in its address.

MELBOURNE:

Event name: Author event with Dymocks Melbourne
Date: Friday 20th August
Time: 5pm
Venue: 234 Collins Street

Whoo, Melbourne! I watched a Food Network special about great restaurants in Melbourne, so I plan to essentially eat my way across the city. Look for me to perhaps still have a napkin tucked in my collar.

I’m hoping I’ll be able to add a couple more events, maybe in some places a bit farther afield (though not so far as Perth, I’m afraid — please forgive me!) But that’s all tentative. What you see here is for sure. I am SO looking forward to this and to meeting as many fans as possible!

BTW, I will also have some Illinois events to announce for September before too long, so the signings continue —

Check back at the blog tomorrow for an interview with the fabulous Kelley Armstrong, of THE RECKONING, THE SUMMONING and all kinds of other awesome books. 😀
