It's time for the latest monthly roundup of author events at mystery book stores around the U.S. and Canada. Look for these opportunities during the month to meet a new or favorite mystery author and buy a book to be signed. Be sure and check the web site links for all the book and event details, noting that schedules are always subject to change.
For additional dates, you can check out sites like booktour.com. Note that many of the authors listed on yesterday's book release posting have a publication date of the last day or week of the month, so signings for those authors are more likely to be found on the signing list for October.
