Coming to a radio dial near you!

Please tell me IPods have not been the death of radio. Please. Because, for starters, I don’t have an IPod yet, and furthermore I’m going on tour next week to talk to a whole bunch of cool radio people around the country and I really hope some of you (and a lot of other people) will be there to listen!

If you do, in fact, still listen to the radio, and if you receive any of these stations, it may be worth turning in to see…

A) exactly how strong my accent gets when I'm nervous
B) the number of times I can say "um..." when I don't have a clue what to say
C) whether or not I will break into hysterical laughter for no reason
D) if I totally go off-track and start recommend books *I didn't write*

Here are the places and times where I'll be live:

(all times local)

THURSDAY, JUNE 15

Colorado Springs, CO KCMN- 1530 AM
8:50 a.m. “Tron Talk”

Sacramento, CA KAHI-950 AM
10:20 a.m. “Good Times with Dave and Jen”

FRIDAY, JUNE 16

Everywhere in US National Cable Radio Network
8:30 est/7:30 cst “Digital Talk with Jack”

North Central Missouri KRES - 104.7 FM
10:00 a.m. “Mornings with Stephanie Ross”

And there are some other stops that are going to be taped--which means I know what time I'm calling but not what time they'll air. So, if one of these is in your area, check it out, and if I get a more concrete time, I'll pass it along:

Hunington, West Virginia WKEE- 100 FM
“JB and Shelia in the Morning”

Northeastern US, WAMC- AM/FM (NPR)
“Midday with Joe Donahue”

Benington, Vermont WBTN- 1370 AM/ 94.3 FM (NPR)
“Daybreak with Rich Ryder”

Northeast Missouri KJFF- 1400 AM
"Straight Talk with Matt West”

So that's the big "tour"--I hope y'all can listen. I noticed that several of the stations will let you listen online or download programs in MP3 form. Surely some of you potential Gallagher Girls can figure that out--right?

In other news, I heard something really great today. I can't and shouldn't go into specifics, but it is the kind of news that makes me want to say a big THANK YOU to everyone out there who has bought the book and told people about it.

Things are going very well for the Gallagher Girls!

And I owe it all to you guys!
