I am thrilled to announce the first dates in what we jokingly refer to in the Lyga house as the “It’s Killer Time! Tour.” (Those of you born after the ’80s probably won’t get that…)

These are not all of the dates, mind you, but they are the very first events and the ones I can mention right now. I’ll add more as I know about them. And, of course, you can always check my event calendar for updates.

If I won’t be coming to your city or town, believe me — I’m really sorry. I wish I could come and visit every reader personally, but I can’t. However, if you want a signed copy of the book when it’s released and you’re not on the tour schedule, there is a way for that to happen. Simply visit this page and the lovely folks at WORD bookstore will help you out!
