When it comes to authors who know how to make a statement with their words, TJ Klune is definitely someone to think about. As a long-time fan of Klune and his work, I am always excited to see how his career has grown as an author with TOR Books.
Now the author, who is known for books such as The House in the Cerulean Sea, In the Lives of Puppets, and The Lightning-Struck Heart, is heading out on a book tour for the sequel to the Cerulean Sea. The upcoming book, Somewhere Beyond the Sea, is set to release on September 10, the same day that his Cerulean Chronicles Tour kicks off.
On Instagram, TJ Klune shared the current tour dates which have him on the road from Sept. 10 through December 6, although there are technically only nine stops on the tour at this time. That being said, one of those tour stops is actually at New York Comic Con from October 17-20!
In announcing his tour, Klune shared that, "this will be a bit different, just me and a microphone giving a speech I call "Queer Wrath." As it turns out, I have a lot to say...and I am not going to hold back." Considering I have sat in on a panel featuring the author during a book convention years ago, it should be interesting to see exactly how this will be different. It has always felt like the author doesn't hold back on what he is thinking, so this statement has us curious as to what he has to say this time.
So when and where will TJ Klune be popping up on his The Cerulean Chronicles Tour?

Maybe it is me, but I am exhausted for TJ Klune. That is a lot of travel in just a few days. (I hope he is getting a ton of airline miles out of this tour.) But at the same time, this is an amazing tour, touching quite a few different areas of the country.
We love a good book tour, book convention, and signing, so we are excited for this announcement from Klune. And we can't wait to see what he has in store for the readers who purchase tickets for his tour stops.
