Tour starts with a bang *

Eric Stone, the Silver Lake author of Wrong Side of the Wall: The Story of Blackie Schwamb, the Greatest Ballplayer in Prison History, is driving the country for a summer-long book tour and blogging about it. He took off a few days ago — and promptly got sideswiped by a semi truck. The tour proceeds via rental car; he has reached Sedona, headed for Van Horn, Texas. * And: Stone's tour is also promoting his mystery novel, The Living Room of the Dead.
