Gone Roadtrippin' : Blog & Book Tour 2012!

If you’ve been lurking around the blog lately, you may have noticed that no one's been home for a few days—weeds sprouting up in the flowerbeds, the mailbox bulging. Don’t worry, though. We didn’t intend to pack up and ride out without leaving a little note.

In anticipation of the May 8, 2012 release of The Inquisitor’s Key, I've decided to embark on a tour across the blogosphere...before I leave for the continental United States book tour. I'm nailing this note to the outside of the (virtual) Body Farm gate: an invitation to each and every one of you. 

Meet up with us on The Inquisitor’s Key Blog Tour 2012—without even leaving your chair!—and then find us on The Inquisitor’s Key Book Tour 2012 in a city near you. On the blog tour, not only will you have the opportunity to go behind the scenes of the new Body Farm novel, but you’ll get inside access to exclusive interviews, book reviews, and book giveaway contests. On the book tour, you’ll be able to meet us—Jon Jefferson and Dr. Bass, the men behind the mysteries of Jefferson Bass—and pick up a signed copy (or two..or ten) of The Inquisitor’s Key.



Calendar of Blog-Tour Events

I’d be honored, dear readers, if you'd leave comments on the guest blog posts below in support of Jefferson Bass, the Body Farm series, and The Inquisitor’s Key! We're trying to get the word out to those who are not familiar—yet—with the Body Farm novels and the great work being done at the Body Farm, but we need your help. Visit these blogs in April and May and show readers that Jefferson Bass has the most diehard fans of all. Tell the world to read The Inquisitor’s Key!

    We'd like to include you and Dr. Bass in our Appalachian Writers series here in Rugby. I'll try to see you at the New Hope Center event in Oak Ridge or at one of the Knoxville events. Check out my blog to see the first two writers in this year's series. You can send me an email at greenbrierjim@gmail.com. Jim

  7. Mr. Jefferson, I have every one of your books, & all but two are signed by you & Dr. Bass. I also have a very THOUGHT PROVIKING PICTURE OF YOU, THAT HOPE YOU WILL SIGN. I have missed your last tour due to knee surgeries. SO WHEN IS THE NEXT TOUR? I plan on being in the front row with my books & the 8x10 glossy of you. Looking for to the next book signing.. Sincerely, Jenean Gray

    1. Hi, Jenean -
      Sorry your knees knocked you out of seeing us last time! I wish I knew when we'll be signing books together again, but it's hard to say. I live in Florida now, so I don't get to Knoxville very often. I assume we'll be out on book tour sometime next spring or summer (May? June?), but I don't know the dates yet. Keep watching, here or on the Facebook page for Jefferson Bass Books, for updates! Jon

  8. Mr. Jefferson,
    I saw you in Kingston at the Community Center when The Bone Thief had just came out, and at several Book Stores, & the Best one was at A church in Cocke County. Art came with you & Dr. Bass. That's where I took your Photo. It was deeply appreciated of all of you to donate your time to a worthy cause. Thank you again!
    When and where will you be signing books in the future?

    WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML.
    I'm starting a blog soon but have no coding know-how so I wanted to get advice from someone with experience. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    benefit from each other. If you might be interested feel free to send me an

    blog platform are you using for this website?

    I'm getting sick and tired of Wordpress because I've had
    problems with hackers and I'm looking at options for another platform. I would be awesome if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.
