Once again, the summer has flown by, and I can hardly believe the start of fall is just a couple of days away. My new novel, Dreamland, is now available in stores nationwide and my Dreamland Book Tour kicked off with an incredible pre-release start in my hometown of New Bern, North Carolina. Tonight, readers and fans everywhere can join me for a virtual event hosted by Random House Studio Sessions. I’ll be in conversation with author Allison Pataki and there will be a special appearance by country music artist Lindsey Ell. This evening’s event will be held live via Zoom and there is still time to register online before it starts at 8pm ET.
 

Many US Cities and Virtual Events Too

Tomorrow, you’ll be able to join me online again when I sit down to talk with Adriana Trigiani for our Facebook Live event starting at 3pm ET. Then, later in the evening, I’ll be heading to my second in-person book tour event at [words] Bookstore in Livingston, NJ. My tour stops over the next few days include some great cities that I can’t wait to visit: Nashville, Tulsa, Lexington, one of the settings in Dreamland (a personal favorite city where I’ve spent quite a bit of time) and more! You can find details and registration links for all the Dreamland book tour events on my website. 
 

Go Behind-The-Scenes with Me On Social Media

Being on tour and having the opportunity to meet readers is always a whirlwind of excitement for me and, this year, I’ll be taking a short break at each tour stop to record some responses to recent reader questions, sent to me through social media. To watch my Q&A videos over the next couple of weeks and to get a first look at my behind-the-scenes book tour images and videos, follow me on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram.
 

I Want To Hear What You Think

Last but not least, if you have a chance to sit down and read Dreamland this week, I hope you’ll post about it on social media, tag me @nicholassparks and #dreamland, and let me know what you thought of the story, the characters, the setting – all of it!

As always, thanks for reading and I hope to see you soon.

Sincerely,
