Hello to all of you. I hope this finds you open to wonder and its necessary, healing salve in this worried world. I am going on the road to help spread the messages of my book: The Wild Why: Stories and Teachings to Uncover Your Wonder. All of these events are open to the public. I would love to see you and yours out there! Here’s the tour:

Greater NY area friends:

Wednesday, April 9^th
Old Greenwich, Athena Books

It only makes sense to join in conversation with my dear friend Lee Woodruff at the beginning of my book tour for The Wild Why. I love how we have supported each others’ books over the years, and this time I’m in her neck of the woods. Neither of us has ever lost our wonder…and if you need a large dose of it, join us for what will surely be a truly WONDER-full evening.

Thursday, April 10th
Rye, NY

I love library events. Being surrounded by so many authors through the ages, and so many readers’ hands who borrowed their words, and brought them back for others to share. If you’re in and around Rye, NY, come by for a night of wonder!

Boston area friends:

Friday, April 11th
Newton, Newtonville Books

Boston friends. It’s always so full-circle coming back to Boston on book tour. I wrote and finished my first book there. I became a writer there. It is my second home. Join me for a night of wonder.


Portland area friends:

Sunday, April 13th
Portland, Powell's City of Books

OK, PDX friends! Duck into your book mecca with me…and your local beloved 5-time Emmy award winning Sheila Hamilton, and bask in some wonder-full. See you and yours then!

Chicagoland friends:

Wednesday, April 16th
Winnetka, IL

I’ll be back in my childhood neck of the woods sharing my book’s message: we need to uncover our wonder! And my conversation partner will be yet another friend who has never lost her wonder! Come hear Val Haller, (Valslist, Winnetka music fest maven, and writer), and yours truly, take a deep dive into how to uncover your wonder. To RSVP go here! Join us for a truly wonder-full evening!

Bay Area friends:

Monday, April 28th
San Francisco, Book Passage

San Francisco, you have my heart. And I’ll be in the heart of all things book at the Corte Madera Book Passage with local publishing legend, Brooke Warner, for what will be a pitch-perfect wonder talk.


Seattle friends:

Wednesday, April 30th
Seattle, Third Place Books

Seattle…where I finished my first book in 1992…one which will always be an exercise in learning, but forever my most wonder-full. Let’s learn and wonder together with my dear friend, author, and SUPREME author’s advocate, Bill Kenower. Bill is who I call when I am on the wonder-less cliff. We will laugh, and we might cry, and you will walk out of this evening with your wonder already uncovered!

Oh and then there’s Texas!

Wednesday, May 14th
Dallas, Interabang Books

You and me, Interabang Books! Interabang: a combination of a question mark and an exclamation point. How can this not be all combinations of wonder-full!?

And finally, for now, San Antonio.

Friday, May 16th
San Antonio, Nowhere Bookshop with Gemini Ink

My soul sister in words. The poet I read and live by and teach by. My pen pal, and now conversation pal…the great and true and WONDER-full…Naomi Shihab Nye. We’ll talk and we’ll wonder, and I suspect, just being around this wild wonder-full human…we’ll all fall into a much-needed trance.

And there will be more!

Summer: East Coast beachy towns…you’re next on my list!

July and early August.

Stay tuned for more.

Email me if you’d like to bring The Wild Why to you!

In wonder,

Laura
