Just a quick progress report for those of you who were concerned.
After getting home at the weekend, DD has spent the last day or two (mostly) in bed recovering from the cold she caught in Milan. While we haven't talked on the phone (she still doesn't have her voice back and has been advised to keep resting it so it will come back quicker) I have a few messages from her that reflect a whole lot of frustration over her inability to get back in time for the signing. (And the large amount of money trying to do so cost her, which she may not be able to reclaim via travel insurance or other means.) She is already looking at opportunities for a reschedule.
On the strictly East Coast side (and by the way, she is contemplating adding on a West Coast signing as well -- think of the new commitment as a "mini tour"), she has to touch base with Harcourt and Books of Wonder about this first, and it will take a while to sort out everybody else's ideas on the subject. Additionally, she has work commitments over the next couple of months that mean she's not going to be at liberty to just jump up and run off whenever she wants to. But initial indications are that she's trying to decide whether a date in the summer or in the early fall would be better, and she asked me to throw this subject open to comment on the Forums.
Thoughts, anybody? What's easier to get to -- a signing over the summer holidays or one during the school year? Sound off.
