The Mark of Athena tour!

Thanks for your patience, everyone. We’ve been getting the details ironed out, and we can now announce the tour dates for The Mark of Athena! Each tour, we try to visit a mix of places I haven’t been before and places I haven’t been in a while. Last tour concentrated on the West Coast, so this time we’re going east and south. Obviously, we can’t go everywhere, but if you’re close to an event, I hope you’ll come out! Contact the venue directly, and do so in advance, as space is limited and the events tend to sell out.

TUESDAY, OCTOBER 2
7:00pm
Barnes & Noble
765 Route 17 South       
Paramus, NJ 07652
