Okay, so the facebook event for the TPM virtual book tour is up, soon it'll be up Good reads as well. Now its time to tie up all the loose ends and get ready to blog, post, tweet and talk about the book a whole lot more than I ever have, which is kinda cool espeacially if it brings in some awesome sales.
