Neil Gaiman/OCEAN AT THE END OF THE LANE/Full Ticket Info Events

The William Morrow press office just sent me the dates and locations of the OCEAN AT THE END OF THE LANE tour.

This may be modified slightly as we go — I’ll add any additional information (there’s nothing on ticket prices here, for example — most stores will count your ticket cost toward the cost of the book.)

The current plan is that I’ll sign any copies of The Ocean at the End of the Lane for you, and one or two other things, depending on lines and numbers. This may change.

I’ll also plan to sign as much as possible of what the bookstore has of mine when I get to each new shop, including many copies of OCEAN. So you can watch me read and do a Q&A and then take off if you do not want to wait.

Many shops will have leftover signed books after the signing, or will take preorders for a book to be signed and sent out. I’ll sign all the books that each store needs signed, but there’s no guarantee that I’ll be able to personalise phone/internet orders.

And yes, this will be my last US book-signing tour. And I’m going to try and do as much as possible of it in a bus, mostly so I can get more sleep than I did on the Anansi Boystour.

Feel very free to spread the information around. (UK & Canada & the rest of the world signing information is not in this post.)

The Ocean at the End of the Lane gets published on June 18th in the UK and the US…

I’ve said I’ll do a signing tour for it. My first signing tour since Anansi Boys in 2005. I’ll go places and in each place I’ll do a reading, a short Q&A, then I’ll sign books.

I think this will be the last signing tour I ever do. They’re exhausting, on a level that’s hard to believe. I love meeting people, but the sixth hour of signing, for people who have been standing in a line for seven hours, is no fun for anybody. So I’m going to try and make this a big one, and then stop. I’ll do a bunch of American signings, including places that I don’t normally get to, like the US South. I’ll go to the UK, and do a smaller, more manageable tour. (You can get on and off trains in the UK, to get to places.) I’ll go to Canada.

And then I’m going to do my best to go to places I don’t get to, or haven’t gone in a long time, as the book is published — places like Brazil and Poland.

And then, I may do events, and there may well be pre-signed books for sale there, and I might even sign books if I feel like it (I loved doing the ninja book signing at St Mark’s Bookshop on Tuesday morning) but once the Ocean at the End of the Lane tour is over, I do not think I will do any more signing tours.
