Jason Riley does Between the Lines. Nicely.

Another day, another TBWCYL, Inc. favorite. Today we are geeked to spotlight the Jason Riley who very generously hosted one of the stops on This Book Tour Will Change Your Life and currently has a kick-ass interview titled The State of the World up on Between the Lines where he riffs on a variety of topics including Werner Herzog, Harry Morgan, Kindle and The Volcanoes Above Us. It's most entertaining and very likely to change your life, maybe even for the better.

It's the last day. The last chance. For This Book Tour Will Change Your Life. Yes, Day Thirteen is upon us and today we finish up with the J.A. Tyler.

Quasi-disco and Emo-length blog titles aside, it's true, it is Day Thirteen, the last day of this wonderfully self-absorbed journey we called This Book Tour Will Change Your Life. We really appreciate all of the hospitality and kind words we have received along the way. We hope that we have changed lives, many lives, ideally in good ways, though if we changed any lives in bad ways, we hope it wasn't too bad. Today we visit the always cool J.A. Tyler where we riff on the future of publishing and then it's done, way done. So, many thanks to CCLaP for organizing this and giving Repetition Patterns a home and if you, and you know who you are, are so inclined, please feel free to revisit the entire tour below.

Day One - Pete Lit

Day Two - stand By Bert

Day Three - So the devil and a circus walk into a bar

Day Four - What to wear during an orange alert

Day Five - Does this font make me look fat?

Day Six - Michael Fitzgerald

Day Eight - Bigmouth Indeed Strikes Again

Day Nine - Chicago Literary Scene Examiner

Day Ten - Jason Riley

Day Eleven - In The Nick of Time

Day Twelve - I don't know what I'm Talking About

Update: And would you look at this, for the same low price, you also get an official tour round-up kind of thing from the good people at CCLaP. Sweet.

We have our dog-eared copy of Repetition Patterns in hand, and we are heading west for Day Ten of This Book Tour Will Change Your Life. You?

Please note though, that we are not just heading west for Day Ten of This Book Tour Will Change Your Life, oh no, but re-visiting the mostly friendly confines of Goodreads as well, this time stopping by the home of author Jason Riley, a most hospitable host indeed. We would like to believe that you are coming with us, is that true, that you will visit our good friends at CCLaP too, would that be correct, and that for sure, you will be back tomorrow for Day Eleven of the tour when we visit with long-time TBWCYL, Inc. favorite Nick Ostdick for some Repetition Patterns podcast and essay love. Which you are going to do, yes? Cool, and many thanks to Jason for his time and support.

Word association? Repetition Patterns? The Chicago Literary Scene Examiner? And Day Nine of This Book Tour Will Change Your Life? Way.

You feel good about these things right? Sure you do, and so yes, it is Day Nine of the tour, and yes, we are visiting with Chicago writer guy and good friend Robert Duffer and the Chicago Literary Scene Examiner, and yes, we are doing the word association thing on a variety of topics ranging from Mickey Rourke to High School Musical 3 to Kafka, not to mention crafting a new draft piece, and as always engaging in mass Repetition Patterns love. And so why not visit the Examiner, and then why not zip by CCLaP because they would love to see you, and finally, and after you catch your breath, get some rest, and maybe have some tea, why not come back tomorrow and join us when we stop by to connect with west coast writing dude Jason Riley. It all sounds like fun, right? Way.
