Places to promote your book signing/tour:
Your publishers website. They should have a space for this and help
you promote it. End of story.
Your website. Make this page easy to find, updated often, and a home
page attraction during weeks when you have an event.
Chats & Blogs – make sure to ask permission first
Myspace & Bebo – you never know which friend is going to be in that
city on that day. List it in your myspace calendar, on the blog, and
