Just a reminder of the book release tour, as cS'ers J Brown / Atlanta & DavidH / Huntsville originally brought up, by bestselling author Homer Hickam Jr ( The Rocket Boys/October Sky, Back To The Moon, and other major bestsellers ).

Homer's latest work, in the bestselling Josh Thurlow series, is entitled The Ambassador's Son, a story that brings in some big names ( Kennedy, Roosevelt, Nixon, Michener ) and that appears to be going to the big screen.

For details on the schedule of Homer's appearances, for signings and to meet Homer, see www.homerhickam.com

I was fortunate to meet him at a signing in Utah some time ago, and have him sign my copy of "Torpedo Junction". He is a fascinating author to meet in person, and his writing style is easy to read. I hope many of you get a chance to meet him!

Best regards,
Mark in Utah

I saw Homer Hickam in Raliegh on Friday. He was a great speaker really promoting his new series. He signed his new book and any 3 other books of his. Had a great time.

I missed the two nice posts here earlier, thank you gentleman.

Homer's final, remaining schedule to this point includes CLEVELAND on Wed., 4/13; ALABAMA next week and again in May.

Missed his appearances so far, planning on catching him in AL! But was kind of wondering if he spoke about the H-rex find and about his NASA Moon-Mars advisory work. Also, if they have good stock of Homer's Back to the Moon available at the appearances, and the October Sky dvd.

Homer spoke about his new series and especially the Ambassador's Son. He had a question and answer time where he would answer any questions. They only had paperback versions of Back to the Moon and didn't see any dvd's.

Hey, thanks much, Charles! TONIGHT IN CLEVELAND, HOMER is scheduled for Borders Books, Mayfield Road, 7pm (Wed 4/13).

A man of our armed forces, stationed at Fort Bragg, would have an extra tie with Mr Hickam's current series! Probably happy about the big-screen news -- to see how the "band of North Carolina misfits" turns out on the big screen.

Wonder how many armed forces members there are at cS? A notable Col. at Pearl Harbor, with very impressive possesions. Of course the armed forces were hand in hand helping the space program ( though a little bit of friction at the start of nasa! ).

All times are CT (US)
