I left Alaska before Nick Broomfield got there last year, but I’ve been in email contact with him and know he’s spoken to many of the friends I made there in 2010.

I also know the high quality of his work.

Thus, I’m delighted to learn that Nick’s Palin documentary will be a highlight of the Toronto Film Festival from September 8-18.

I couldn’t have a better opening act for THE ROGUE, which will be published on September 20.

Let me rephrase that: I don’t consider Nick Broomfield an opening act for anyone. He’s one of the best documentary filmmakers in the world, and I’m proud and happy to share September with him. Let’s hope his “Sarah Palin–You Betcha!” will receive national distribution throughout the U.S.

Regarding THE ROGUE, so much is happening in terms of national media bookings that my return to Alaska may have to be delayed.

Looks like there will be so many Lower Forty-Eight media appearances between mid-September and mid-October that I simply won’t have time to make the long–and longed-for–trek back to Lake Lucille and environs until after the first wave of fun and furor has subsided.

I’ll share details here as soon as I’m permitted to do so.

But for now, like the book itself, details of publicity appearances are embargoed.
