Tejas Tour
Hey there readers and readerettes,
I have gotten some nice messages of people to the effect of: how can/should I get a copy of the novel. I covered this in a tiny letter, but am repeating it here.
The best way to get the book is, if you are in Texas, coming to one of my events this summer.
June 1st, I will be at Brazos Bookstore, in Houston, for the publication date-launch event. Starts at 6pm.
June 3rd, I will be at Paragraphs on Padre, a cool indie bookstore on Padre Island. If you live in the RGV, please come out and say hi! This event takes place on a Saturday, and starts at 1pm. We will probably be done in time to then catch the Champions League final featuring Real Madrid.
June 8th, I will be in San Antonio at The Twig, a rad indie store off the famous Riverwalk. This event starts at 5pm.
June 10th, I will in Austin at the always amazing BookPeople. This event will start at 2pm.
If you can't make the event due to work, family, etc, then order a copy (maybe even "signed") online and pick it up later. Support indie stores!
Okay, okay, so, say, you don't live in Texas. You can still buy books from those fine stores at their online shops and have them mailed to you. Also, you can go to Indiebound, find a nearby indie store, and request they get you a copy. The novel is distributed internationally.
If you absolutely, positively need a digital copy, then you can get them at iTunes and even Amazon. Pretty please preorder by at least one day to help my sales rank/game the algorithm.
I would actually prefer you convince your local library to order a copy of the novel than you buy it for yourself digitally, but, I get it, people like to own things.

L.A. Book Event
Hey y'all,
NOTV has a website and all, but, if you are like me, you prefer spying and lurking on GoodReads. Thus, I am happy to report here on the author blog that I will be attending the Latino Book Awards in September at the lovely CSU-Dominguez Hills campus. And also, on Sunday, Sept 9 at 1pm, I will be doing a reading and book signing at BookSoup in West Hollywood.
It is always fun to meet readers in real life. Here is a link for more event details.

Austin Book Event
Hey y'all,
my publicist was able to book a reading & signing at the excellent Malvern Books in Austin for September 5 (Wednesday) at 7pm.
I'm excited to see old friends and make new ones, and also to see the first copies of the award-winning NOTV paperback 2.0 go out into the world. 2.0 has some blurbs, an award sticker on the cover, and the contraportada copy has a big change: Manny is clearly identified as undocumented.
Remember, NOTV was written in 2013, edited heavily in 2014, and for the June 2017 publication date, everything was set in motion by the Summer of 2016. This was well before Trump's America and xenophobia became rampant/fashionable.
I hope to see y'all there - in sum, I promise to only read for about 10-15 minutes, and then answer any and all questions that do not revolve around my reverse-perv shaming tweets. I promise "An Evening with Elliott Turner" will not disappoint.
