You should definatly consider adding Tulsa, OK, to your book tour. I bought Dead Tossed Waves for myself and my husband made me wait until Christmas to read it. Boys are stupid like that!

I love your books, (including Bougainvillea, my favourite of Zombies VS Unicorns. Counting the days til Dark and Hollow Places is released!

It would be soo amazing if she brought her tour to Canada *sigh*
I would love it is you could come to Kansas Carrie! I love your books, I read The Forest of Hands and Teeth a month after it was released, and since read, and reread it about 15 times, I am still trying to find The Dead-Tossed Waves in a bookstore but I did recently find The Dark and Hollow Places! If you do find your way to Kansas City soon, I will so be there!
I just thought I might add, I finally found that second book, have already read the entire set twice now! I love these Books Carrie! I hope you come by Kansas sometime soon!!!

Lol. Anywho ,and if possible come to Utah, Salt Lake city ! PLEASE………………PLEASE………….. Thanks to Yu I Now know what I wanna be , I want to be as good of a writer like yu but I'm sure that won't be possible. Because Idk i quess im just not that creative as yu .
