The Online Book Tour:
LIKE TREES, WALKING
A novel by Ravi Howard

"Howard is a talent to watch, and this work introduces us to a fictional universe that we'll definitely want to encounter again."
-The Washington Post

"Based on the true story of one of the last recorded lynchings in the U.S., Howard's debut novel offers a subtle and stirring look at the complexities of racial hatred and family obligations."
-Booklist

"Howard uses the facts of the case to hit home the novel's premise: that even with justice, there are some stains that will never be erased by time."
-Publisher's Weekly

Book event at Marcus Books in Oakland, California. June 21, 2007.

When authors sign books, readers get a chance to stare at the tops of our heads.

Since the release of Like Trees, Walking in March, I've been invited to Des Moines, Iowa; Tallahassee and Gainesville, Fla., Middlebury, Vt.; Dallas and Fort Worth, Tex.; Charlottesville, Va.; Oakland and San Francisco, Calif.; Fairhope, Mobile, Montgomery, and Birmingham, Ala.; Jackson and Oxford, Miss., and Atlanta, Ga. I've enjoyed meeting readers on the road, and I've also been honored to have great online attendance to this, my virtual book tour. When authors sign books, readers get a chance to stare at the tops of our heads.  Thanks to the web, visitors can enjoy that same experience online.  Welcome to all, and please feel free to drop me a line.
