Coming to the Chicago Area

9/13/2010 6:51:00 PM

by John DeDakis

My book tour of the Upper Midwest kicks off in Chicago, Monday, Oct. 4, 2010

I'll be in the Chicago area Oct. 4-6, 2010 speaking and signing copies of my mystery-suspense novel "Fast Track."

In most cases, the title of my talk will be "From Journalist to Novelist (Or How I Learned to Start Making it Up)," but some of the talks will delve more deeply into journalism issues. Those talks are entitled, "Journalistic Ethics: Not an Oxymoron."

My thanks to Jim and Lynda O'Connor of O'Connor Communications for making the arrangements. http://www.oconnorpr.com/index_oconnor3.htm

If you're in the area, I hope you'll stop by:
