Like I said: plenty of flexibility and room for deviation, but with any luck I’ll be able to nail down a few more specifics as I get closer to all these places – like the actual bookstores I’ll be popping into, etc. Actual route subject to change, based on Sam the GPS’s demonic whims. Come celebrate the release of Scorch –and the (hopefully) successful completion of this fever dream of a road trip. Reading, Q&A, signing, and probably some snacks. Return the rental car, most likely in several pieces Making stops in: Albany NY, Springfield MA, Hadley MA, and bookstores along the Mass Pike Making stops in: Severn MD, Ellicott City MD, Lancaster PA, bookstores along the way, then dropping off sister and reuniting with tearful parents.

Making stops in: Tulsa OK, bookstores along the way Making stops in: Wichita KS, the geographic center of the contiguous United States, and bookstores along the way And we will most likely be barging into lots of bookstores all day long, wearing said outfits and scaring the living cheese out of anyone within hearing range. And black hoodies, no matter how hot it is. Naperville (630) 355-2665 | Downers Grove (630) 963-2665Īs this the actual release date of Scorch, we will probably be wearing silly hats for the duration of the drive.

Making stops in: Rochester NY, Buffalo NY, Erie PA, Cleveland OH, and bookstores along the way No stops today – just picking up my sister and staying overnight at my parents’ house, so that they can have one last night with us before their only children drive off into the unknown mysteries of Everywhere That Is Not Syracuse. SO for the most up-to-date updates, be sure to follow on Twitter, where I’ll be yelling all about where I am at every waking moment. So here is a tentative schedule, followed by a tentative map. I will be popping into bookstores, signing books, leaving swag - and, due to the uncertain nature of road trips, I can’t really put definite arrival times on said stops. *improv!* Also in most cases, I do not have actual events planned – as I said in my original post, this trip is going to be reeeeal casual-like. (Quick aside to those of you who voted: thank you!) In most cases, you will just see a state listed, rather than a city–that is because the cities I sleep in will be determined en route. That said, I do have a vague-ish route – and as promised, it really was dictated by the responses I got from those of you who voted. And so, in the spirit of *improv* (the asterisks indicate jazz hands), that is how this trip is going to go. I sort of like the idea of just driving off into the sunset in my crappy rental car and seeing what comically oversized things I might find along the way. At least the packing is going well.īut! I was in an improv troupe in college – I’m used to making things up on the fly, being all sporadic-like, and taking things in the face as they’re thrown at me (eggs, pies, etc.). You know all that blabbing I’ve been doing lately about this crazy-ass road trip I’m going on? You know how I said it’s sort of half-baked, I don’t really have any hotels booked, and I’m not entirely sure where I’m stopping?
