We’re in Berkeley, traveling for our US book tour, beating the drum about our pair of newborn books: “Quiet Corners of Rome” (April 25, 2011) and “Paris, Paris: Journey into the City of Light” (April 5, 2011). The covers, if you please!
The schedule follows, below.
Please consult www.davidddownie.com for details about the books, and links to our favorite book sellers, my Facebook and Twitter accounts, and my other blog dedicated to our custom walking tours.
To reach us while we’re traveling, please email dddownie@gmail.com or ameredithharris@gmail.com.
Also featured on our tour and already available for purchase: Food Wine Burgundy, Food Wine Rome, Food Wine Italian Riviera & Genoa, and Cooking the Roman Way (the new e-book version).
What’s on the playbill? We’ll be showing slides (actually, Alison will do a PowerPoint presentation), talking, chatting, interacting via riveting Q&As, giving live radio interviews (most are still to be scheduled), and generally performing all the other tricks and great things writers and photographers do on book tours. Singing, dancing, walking tight ropes, jumping through hoops…
A series of live or pre-recorded radio interviews continues, on KGO in SF, and NPR. On May 8 I have another interview with Pierre Wolfe, host extraordinaire of “America’s Dining and Travel Guide and The World A La Carte” on Business Talk Radio Network, 3-5pm Eastern Time. Click here to find your local station — the show is broadcast nationwide.
Crucial dates: We will be in New York from April 20-30.
