2009 US speaking tour road trip (41 events in 39 cities, 13,934 miles by hybrid car) was conducted in March - May 2009.  

The response was so wonderful, he’s coming back in April - June 2012 !

I actually also did a US speaking tour in 2009, with a trunk-load of the British book (full story below)

I love my US publisher, Center Street, an imprint of Hachette

USA

Originally published first in the UK, and then Australia, as Unimagined

Coming to US/Canada on April 3rd, 2012 as

The Perfect Gentleman

with additional material and an extended ending

But in the UK we would write 3rd April, 2012

Why do you write month/day/year?  Surely day/month/year makes more sense?

Publication accompanied by a 50-city US speaking tour!
