On Freedom in Ohio (and IL, OK, and TX)

A book tour in October

Dear Friends,

My new book, On Freedom, will be published in two weeks, on September 17th.  On November 5th, the American elections will be held. 

I have decided to spend much of the time between in Ohio.  It is where I am from; it is where the first chapter of book begins; and it is where I want to go to speak about freedom. 

I wanted to give you, my subscribers, early notice of these seven October Ohio events (and of three that follow, in Illinois, Oklahoma, and Texas). 

But share this information with anyone you like, and please join me to talk about freedom!

Ohio 1.            Cincinnati, Thursday October 17th, 7:00pm.

This will be a discussion and q&a about On Freedom with book sales at 7:00pm at the independent bookstore Joseph-Beth, 2682 Madison Road in Cincinnati.

Ohio 2.            Oxford (Miami University), Friday October 18th, noon.

This will be a discussion and q&a about On Freedom with books at 12:00 at the Havighurst Center, 350 Western College Drive, Miami University, Oxford. 

Ohio 3.             Wilmington, Friday October 18th, 7:00pm.

I am particularly happy about this discussion of On Freedom.  Wilmington is the county seat of Clinton County, the setting of some important scenes in the book.  beautiful Murphy Theater was built by Chicago Cubs owner and Wilmington native Charles Murphy in 1916-1918.  The event is a ticketed benefit for Merefa, Ukraine, which is Wilmington's sister city.  Books will be sold and proceeds will also benefit Merefa.

I see that this stretch of my book tour begins on an Ohio Madison Road, named after the founder James Madison, and ends on a Texas Lover's Lane -- well, one of themes of On Freedom is unpredictability.  It's a privilege for me that I can make this journey, and I hope to meet many of you along the way.
