If you haven't yet heard about STARS (Southern Traveling Authors Registration Service), you might want to check it out: http://www.authorsroundthesouth.com/STARS/author.php
Authors and readers will benefit from this new service, launched in January by SIBA. Basically, STARS is a listing of Southern authors -- their websites, press kits, upcoming readings they're doing ... Each time they enter a trip on STARS, an announcement is sent to nearby SIBA stores, telling booksellers that the author will be in the area and is available for events, speaking engagements, book club discussions, etc. Great idea!
