7-Day Author Forecast for Oct 29-Nov. 4
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Nov. 3

The hubbub is drowning out the sound. Admission is $60, which includes the book, hors d’oeuvres and cocktails. Pre-payment required; call 770-578-3502. Additional books will be available for purchase. This is, by the way, the worldwide launch party for the book.
Nov. 4

Presented by the Margaret Mitchell House. $10 admission for non-members of MMH. The CNN anchor turned chest-thumbing commentator promotes his new book with a reception, lecture and signing. Hope the catering and cleaning staffs all have their green cards!
