Today's event in Montpelier, Vermont, for Howard Frank Mosher and his light-hearted novel ON KINGDOM MOUNTAIN is also the launch of Mosher's cross-country tour. True to his down-to-earth Vermont practicality, he's chugging the roads by car, more or less on his own. The last couple of times he did this ended up pushing his 1987 Chevy past the 300,000-mile mark -- so this time, Houghton Mifflin is helping him to rent a car that's a bit younger.

He'll have to keep rolling -- unlike this slow but powerful tortoise who greeted him at Bear Pond Books in Montpelier. To connect with the tortoise (she's Russian!) in person, visit Bear Pond's sister shop, Rivendell Books; to connect with Mosher, drop in at one of his events. There are more than a hundred planned -- see our web site for the full itinerary, and see the review (Rural Writing) here on this blog, earlier in June.
