DYK News and My Next NOLA Visit
Chin Music Press has just about run through their first print run of Do You Know What It Means, and Borders has ordered a thousand copies. And last week, we were the #6 Best Seller in the Greater New Orleans area. #7 was The Da Vinci Code. Most of the rest of the top 10 were all Katrina-related. Go figure.
I'll be in New Orleans this weekend, arriving Friday mid-day and leaving Monday afternoon, so if you want to meet up for a drink or something, shoot me an email. Between thinking hard about real estate and schools, most of my time will be spent prowling po boy joints, so if you see a guy with a Ruby's BBQ shirt on and roast beef gravy running down his arm, that'll be me.
Saturday at 1:00 some of the other DYK authors will be doing a panel at the Tennessee Williams Festival at the Cabildo. (I won't be involved but might be skulking around in the background looking for free food.) And Sunday at 2:00, several of us will be doing a reading/signing at the Barnes & Noble in Baton Rouge.
Outselling The Da Vinci Code is exciting stuff, let me tell you, but just being on the same top 10 list as Chris Rose and Tom Piazza is a bigger honor.

I am impressed with Chinn Press - I contacted them when I didn't get my book after about 6 weeks. I received a prompt reply and a copy hand-delivered to my door the next day! It's a great book!
