Greetings to anyone from SFF who stops by my forum!
Wayne Thomas Batson here, and tomorrow I leave for Atlanta, and the beginning of a book tour of the US East Coast. The Fantasy 4 Fiction Tour begins 7/10 in Atlanta and ends 7/19 in New York.
I'll be touring with three other talented fantasy authors: Bryan Davis, Sharon Hinck, and Christopher Hopper! That's right, four Spectacular Fantasy Authors will be coming to bookstores near you to meet, greet, speak, read, and sign books!
If you are a fan of Fantasy Fiction, esp. Fantasy that has depth, this is an event you don't want to miss. I've read all three of these other authors, and I can personally vouch for their work. It's great reading.
Bryan Davis has written The Dragons in Our Midst Books and the new Oracles of Fire books--contemporary fantasy that will leave you breathless!

Sharon Hinck has written a brand new fantasy series called The Sword of Lyric. The Restorer and its sequels may well revolutionize the fantasy genre.

Christopher Hopper has written the incredible White Lion Chronicles--one of the coolest story concepts I've read in a long time!

Wayne Thomas Batson has written The Door Within Trilogy, but what you may not know is that all THREE books have been REreleased in Special Lost Chapter Paperback Editions. These collector's copies include deleted chapters and new side adventures only found in the paperback. There will be author and editor commentaries as well. Think of The Lost Chapter Editions as Director's Cuts of DVDs.

Please check out the schedule of events below and see if we're going to be near you. We'd love to meet some of the SFF faithful while were on tour!
Never alone!
