2007 was boring. Really boring. There was a 10,000 mile book tour, a handful of road races, in and out of the car, falling in love with Kerouac and Vonnegut, approximately $1,050 in parking tickets, drinks in Monte Carlo and the train jumping debacle, two car accidents, losing mucho dinero in Vegas to those impossible […]

The rumor I’m hearing is that you’re writing a book. Is that true?
Well, why not? Half the planet’s population seems to be writing books, and the other half is probably threatening to do it.
I’ve had a little experience in this area, and I can tell you something about writing books that you may not want […]

The New York Times and every-other-author-with-a-brain is stealing my less than original thunder. It seems everyone who is no one has taken to blogging and online book tours to promote their slice of the literary kingdom. I’m fairly certain the New York Times’ Kara Jesella was quoting my publisher’s marketing mantra when she wrote “[i]n […]

The first phase of book tour is over.  Twenty locations, approximately 10,000 miles, a lot of Kerouac, Vonnegut, and Bellows, and a world of stale cokes and summer storm plagued airline flights later, I’m home.   I’m tired.  And I’m contemplative.
Deal with it.
According to my publisher, the next phase of book promotion is regular posts […]

Amazon Bookstore Cooperative
Minneapolis, MN
Minneapolis. Home of the world’s cleanest streets, biggest t-shirts, and craziest cats. And my brother. Hello built in tour guide. Or something like that. Upon arrival, he introduced me to his world. This would mean the sans humid 70’s of beautiful Uptown Minneapolis, and his bohemian cool friends, which I am taking […]

On this final week of book tour, I was afforded a rare, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.  Something people around the world people dream of experiencing. 
You know what it is.
The Running of the Elvises. 
Just think of it.  Over fifty people dressed up to look like Elvis, ranging from full on white, flared, studded costumes, to pairs of massive […]

My brother is graciously playing host while I’m in Minneapolis. I thought to repay him by letting him know that e.v.e.r.y.o.n.e. wants to be Sam’s sister. So I took it upon myself to create a one of a kind t-shirt and, well, I’m hoping he’ll speak to me again. Someday.

Moffett Meanderings. En route to Minneapolis, Mn.
Benefits of air travel.

An airplane is the one place it is acceptable to eat Pringles and drink bad Chilean Chardonnay.
 In a word: incommunicado.
Finally had a moment to read my mail and answer some correspondences…from May.
Obtain reinforcement for my blissful happiness to not have children via the screaming 8 month […]

Tattered Cover
Denver, CO
There are bookstores. Then there is the Tattered Cover. Situated on Colfax Avenue in Denver, it occupies a former theater with lofty, high ceilings, and is composed of achingly tall bookshelves, velvety green carpeting, and a world of books unlike any I had ever seen. Walking in, I half expected to hear the […]

Barnes & Nobles of…
Colorado Springs, CO
Loveland, CO
Week 9.
Seven hours of traveling, 59 blackberry e-mails, and six voicemails later, I’ve realized there is an upside to traveling. You are incommunicado.
I wonder if my publisher would pay for a book event in Hong Kong.
With this positive perspective, Kerouac, the laptop, the favorite pen, and I took to […]
