Read and Run Chicago: Sept. 9!

So I have to tell you about this very fun gig I’ve got set up for Sept. 9: a "Read and Run Chicago."
Yes, it is ALMOST like it sounds. I’m going to join a bunch of runners in the Windy City, my hometown. Rather than read while we’re running, however, we’ll instead run first past downtown locations featured in SCATTERED LIGHT (Art Institute, Board of Trade, etc.). We’ll end up at a venue (TBD) where I’ll get to know them, they’ll get to know me and we’ll talk about books.
The organizer, https://www.readandrunchicago.com/ourstory, who runs the group (featured in the photo), calls them “sweaty author talks.” Ha! The slogans on their shirts read, “This book club is faster than yours!”
Never has a book promo event been more suited to my nature. I may have to organize such a gig when the last book of the series is published.
If you’re in the area, join us! If you just want to come (forget the run), let me know. If you’re in the area, but can’t get into the city that night, let me know and I’ll try to visit you.
Do you run and read?!
