Dear Loyal Readers,

No, not a bonus blog today — sorry!  But a link to the New York Times bestseller list — in case anyone thinks I was making it up! — and an updated tour schedule for the rest of 2011.  We still have a few blanks to fill in — a few locations and times, plus a few more potential events — but this should answer a lot of questions for those asking them daily.  (Events are always posted on the EVENTS page on this site.)

Thanks for your interest, and thanks for all your help in making “Three and Out” a national bestseller!

-John
