My US Book Tour is Canceled :(
Well this is a bummer. The book tour is off: I will no longer be touring the US for Providence in April.
So as fun and dangerously sexy as it would have been to travel from American city to city, meeting people in flagrant violation of government medical advice, it’s not going to happen. I’m really sorry for everyone who had already made plans. Let’s try this again in 2021.
You can still buy the book, though. And you should. I recommend pre-ordering now, so you have something to read while you’re self-isolating. It’s perfect, because when reality is this bizarre, you need to go to that next level for a decent hit of escapism, and Providence has space battles with aliens that spit out black holes.
Take care, wash your hands, look after each other.
Max.

We only hear from you now when you wish to promote something.
Why Max, Why?

WOW you sound just like my mum.
But I did disable blogs-by-email a couple of years ago, because I thought maybe people don't want to get my stuff via email so much in this modern time where you can see it on Twitter and Facebook. But then I did send an email about my tour, since that's a big deal, and then also emailed updates when it was being canceled. So I understand if that's a lot of emails in a short period after nothing!

I liked the emails. They do feel a little more personal, although I'm aware it's a broadcast, than the 'modern' social media channels, of which I don't indulge. Too many decades as a programmer. I'm well aware of what those monsters get up to.
