The Bee is coming!

That’s right: The Language of Bees launches on Tuesday, with a fiesta abuzz with bees and Bohemians and vintage aeroplane talk—at the great Book Passage store in San Francisco’s Ferry Building.

And beginning Wednesday, I will post a blog about every stop I make between Launch Day and Mother’s Day.

Here’s a list of the appearances—and yes, books will be sold at all events, even those taking place at libraries.  Many of them will also have a meet-up of LRK readers before or after—see here for details.

I hope to see you!
