“Ms. Picoult has carved her own niche with her novels – one part romance, one part courtroom thriller, two parts social commentary.”

I wish it were up to me! Unfortunately, a tour budget is a tour budget and there isn't an endless supply of airline tickets. So… how do you get me to your hometown? Well, go to your local bookstore - preferably an independent one - and ask them if they sell my books well. If they do, beg them to contact their Simon and Schuster sales rep and ask about having me come for an event. Then bug them over and over until you're sure they've done it… and sure that the S&S rep has contacted the S&S publicity staff! If my publisher feels that a grassroots movement is happening in your locale, chances are pretty good that your city will be part of my next tour. Good luck!
