As Kissed by a Fox races to the finish line—with an official book release date of September 11!—the month of August is getting exciting.

• New website. Stay tuned for a brand-new website with this blog folded into it. The awesome book cover designer, Ann Weinstock, is designing the site, and Don Harris of dDesign Studios in Denver is programming it. How’s this for a new home page?

• Books arrive! The advance copies of the book are arriving in my publisher’s and my mailboxes, and Amazon may start shipping as early as this week.
  
• Preparing for interviews. My friend Sandy is playing interviewer with me—and doing a marvelous job! I’m getting used to answering the six questions every interview includes, starting with, “So tell me a little about your book. How did you come to write it?”
• Planning a book tour. We’re setting up readings in the Boulder-Denver area for September and in cities up and down the West Coast for late September and into October. If you live in another part of the country and would be interested in hosting a reading, please contact me, and perhaps we can set something up. And of course, if your book group decides to read the book, contact me, and I’ll be happy to “visit” your group by phone or Skype.
