To get started, go talk to a bookstore and find out who takes care of
their promotions, such as book signings.  Then talk to that person.  S/he
will know what they need.

"To request book signings and/or book tours, please contact Steven's
publisher:
http://www.tor-forge.com/PressRoom.aspx

This is per Tor Books and includes fans, bookstores and libraries."


That's what I put up on the Angelfire website (in signature) after
speaking to Tor Books myself.

I'd say you have a really good shot.  After all, _Dzur_ was in Amazon's
top 100-1000 books for three days.  Like he's a bestselling author, eh?
