Back in his home town of Tucson, Adams gave a talk and signed books at The Book Mark, in Tucson, on March 26.
A winter blizzard did not deter fans or authors Mary Brooks-Mueller and Scott Shaw from a book promotion in Billings, Montana, on March 7. They spoke to a full house at Barnes & Noble in Billings, during a presentation and book signing.
Inclement weather, however, did force the cancellation of a March appearance at Barnes & Noble in Missoula, Montana. The event is being rescheduled for late spring.
Ms. Brooks-Mueller, a forensic examiner, was recently interviewed by National Public Radio.
Addicus Books has signed contracts with St. Martin's Press, New York, for the purchase of mass market rights for Eye of the Beast. The sub-rights sale was made by Literary Agent Susan Crawford.
