Tracks in the Ivy

This Wednesday, July 27 at 6:30, The Ivy Bookshop is hosting the release book reading & signing for Tracks: A Novel in Stories. The event is free and open to the public.

Copies of Tracks will be available through The Ivy, but even if you already have your copy, please feel welcome to stop in for the reading and to say hello.

I’ll be reading an abridged selection or two from Tracks, and will then open the floor to questions about the Tracks, writing, or whatever you’d like to discuss.

Timetable of Scheduled Tracks Events

As you sit in the passenger seat of a train, you might familiarize yourself with the scheduled stops along the way to your destination and get off for a stretch on the platform in different locations. In the same way, even if you caught one of the past Tracks events or already have your copy of Tracks, you’re still encouraged enjoy some of the stops on the Tracks book tour.
