not really BHH Tour: San Antonio
But? The conversation with Richard Z. Santos was mostly BHH, and the signing line mostly had BHH, and it was only two days after BHH tour officially went over, so . . . I’ll sort of count it? But, this late/much after, and only being on BlueSky, this is what I find (in spite of
BHH Tour: Boulder
Ah, coming home, it’s such sweet . . . it’s just sweet. I mean, a crowd like this (over at the library, as there wasn’t enough room in the bookstore): And, I’m woefully late to trying to scrape posts &etc up to document this event. But, I did find these: https://bsky.app/profile/paperbackbish.bsky.social/post/3lmhmi34vuc2x Anyway, couldn’t have been
BHH Tour: Underbrush
Only virtual event of the tour, but? That means it’s also one of two of them to get recorded:
Virtual event in five hours . . .
No registration required, just join the Google Meet. Which . . . I hear it’s somehow in the pop-up on that link? Or, maybe if you mail it (the link?) to yourself, that works? Kind of a mystery to me. Really, I should probably be looking into how I’M supposed to be logging on .
BHH NYT, April 6th, 2025
Alternate headline: “Blackfeet vampire historical horror novel” definitely weird and gory and all that, but somehow . . . somewhat likable? Alternate ALTERNATE headline: Yarrows owns this list (I think she’s even lower on it than I caught in this frame, in addition to being on it twice, above BHH). Anyway, just because I’m not

BHH Tour: Los Angeles
Great night, fun event: BJ Robbins, my agent was there, I got to be on stage with my good friend Tod Goldberg, and . . . and there was a student from my grad workshop back in Boulder there, even! (AWP started the next day). Here’s Tod and me: Great seeing Trish again, too. Last
BHH Tour: Missoula
Thanks to Lorin Elise for the video below, here. And? She was the audience star for the whole tour: interviewed me on stage at Tattered Cover (Denver), then was at the Strand and here as well.

BHH Tour: Minneapolis
Hadn’t been to this city for a good while, and never when it wasn’t just frozen-cold. Only needed my light Carhartt this time, though, and my going-to-town boots worked just fine. Thank you, Birchbark Books: https://bsky.app/profile/jameknight.bsky.social/post/3lkxyqz3ay42p And . . . here’s how I spent the afternoon after:
BHH Tour: St. Louis
Biggest headcount of the tour so far: 325! Biggest space, too, which probably had something to do with that. But? Someone who was interviewing me earlier in that day, they assured me that St. Louis comes out for book events. I believe it. And, yeah, end up being one of those signing lines where Word
