I'm Back!
So Sorry to have been away for so long. Seems like there is never enough time in a day. So, how do you like the new look of the blog? I'm reworking everything. So what's up?
MY SISTER'S GRAVE
My newest, My Sister's Grave, will be released November 1, but look for two surprise announcements in the upcoming months. Really cool stuff. Easiest way to be a part of the inside scoop and to get word of book giveaways is to join my newsletter at www.robertdugoni.com. The website is being reworked also, just as soon as the art work is final for My Sister's Grave.
So, what's the story about?
It's the start of a new series and people at the publishing house and first readers are really excited.

On the Road with Dad
Today is the second anniversary of my Father's death. He died on Father's Day 2008. I still miss him everyday. I'm on a book tour, but I always keep his picture with me, so we've been to Dallas, Houston, South Carolina, Atlanta, Florida and Phoenix together. Today we go to Tucson. Rest in peace Dad. I wrote you a tribute. It will be posted on Bookreporter.com,

Life on the Road
I'm feeling a bit like a pin-ball at the moment, bouncing here and there. It's tough sometimes to even keep track of the day. I started in Seattle with the book launch on May 25th and from there I've been to Dallas, to South Carolina - Litchfield and Charleston, Atlanta, Florida, Houston and at the moment, Phoenix. I actually had a day off yesterday and my wife joined me in Sedona with a stop in Campe Verde to see the cliff dwellings and then to Jerome, an old mining town where I took a picture with a life size figure of Elvis the store owner would unfortunately not part with. Check out my facebook page, bob@robertdugoni.com and you'll see what I'm talking about. After Phoenix I'm off to Tucson for an event at Mostly Books, then to the Bay Area for a series of four. I finally make it back to Seattle June 21st, but not to rest. A few more events, then I take off for Portland.
So, what's it like on the road? Well, you get used to living out of a suitcase and having the hotels do your laundry, which isn't bad. But the most fun is meeting the fans all over the country, people who come to the signings with hardbacks of every book I've written and say things like, "I've been waiting for you to make it here." Well, here I am, and glad to be there to. Still, it's easy to miss things, like going to watch my kids play sports. I got an email last night that Joe just missed going yard, hitting a fence 300 feet from homeplate on a fly and the boy is just 13. Three doubles in the game, all fence shots. Man, I wish I could have seen that! And my daughter? She just managed to score 24 points in a game while I was away and she's 10. That's more points than I scored in my high school career - I was vertically challenged.
Okay, I'm off. I'm surprising Craig Johnson and interviewing him at Poison Pen today.

Books Beer and ....No more books
Check out the post below from my time at Seattle Mystery Books. You have to love a local mystery bookstore and Fran and JB always treat me right.
From there I made it down to The Tin Room in Burien, David Sloane (and my) favorite hangout. Great party and a lot of fun. Thanks to Page 2 Books for supplying the books and to the many that came out. Dan House knows how to through a party and bring in the dignitaries. Great to talk to Mayor Joan and to meet Tin Room-Florida-Reg. Thanks to Marjorie and all the members of the bookclub for coming out as well. Sorry we ran out of the backlist - Jury Master and Wrongful Death. Normally I'd say you don't have to read before Bodily Harm but given the surprises in Bodily Harm, it has more punch if you read JM and WD first.
It's the Fort Lewis PX today!
Best,
Bob

And We're Off
With the launch of Bodily Harm last night in my hometown of Kirkland Washington I'm off on the latest book tour. Eleven cities in the next 25 or so days around the country. If last night is any indication, we sold out of books, it should be a grand time. A friend asked me to blog the experience so here I sit, doing so. The adrenaline always begins to pump when you hear the bookstore owner beginning your introduction and of course, you feel like George Costanza from Seinfeld and think maybe it best to just leave after the introduction because you can't go anywhere from there but down. But it all seems to work out in the end and its a chance to see and talk to fans and friends you never thought you'd meet in life. Next stop Seattle Mystery Books tomorrow at noon. Great store, great people. Looking forward to it.
