Got a venue for Rolf’s book tour this fall?

As I mentioned a couple weeks back, I have a new travel book coming out this fall. Entitled Marco Polo Didn’t Go There, this book will likely debut in September, and I will go on the road to promote it in October and November. Right now I plan on hitting various bookstores, writing conferences, and universities in Washington, Oregon, California, Texas, Kansas, Missouri, Illinois, New York, and New Jersey.

Might you have some suggested stops and venues for me in these places? Are there other parts of the U.S. or Canada that might make a good stop on my book tour? If so, let me know by emailing me directly! (My address is under “contact” in the index bar at left.)

In addition to standard readings from my new book (as well as Vagabonding), I’m also game to do short talks or seminars on travel writing and/or long-term travel — especially at universities and book festivals. I welcome your suggestions!
