Chicago, I am in you, and I'm feeling great after an unprecedented 14 hours of sleep last night.

I'm very excited for tonight's episode of the Tuesday Funk reading series, where I'll be appearing together with Elaine Hegwood Bowen, Nick Disabato, Sarah Hollenbeck, and my good friend Kyle Thiessen. The event takes place upstairs at Hopleaf at 7:30 pm, and it's free!

I used to host Tuesday Funk, so I'm always eager for a chance to come back. I'll be reading, of course, from The Accidental Terrorist, and I'll also have copies there for sale. Doors open at 7:00 pm—come early so you can get a seat.

My second Accidental Terrorist giveaway continues to run at Goodreads! If you're a Goodreads member with a mailing address in the U.S. or Canada, you can enter for the chance to win one of ten advance reading copies. The giveaway runs another five days.

Finally, please drop by Reddit later this week on the evening of Thursday, November 5, when I'll be doing an AMA ("Ask Me Anything") in the r/mormon subreddit.

Please note that the posted time, 7:00 to 9:00 pm, is for the Mountain time zone, to accommodate that region's strong interest in the subject matter. But you can, of course, participate from anywhere! And ask me anything!
