MIRA Books Announces Debbie Macomber's TWENTY WISHES Book Tour

NEW YORK, March 7 /PRNewswire/ -- This spring, New York Times bestselling author Debbie Macomber will embark on another whirlwind tour across the U.S. to meet with readers and celebrate the publication of TWENTY WISHES, her new blockbuster novel. Beginning on April 28, the popular author will start in Chicago with the first of many book signings and appearances.

Debbie, who has more than 100 million copies of her books in print, is one of the leading voices in women's fiction today. Her novels regularly appear on bestseller lists. Last fall, 74 Seaside Avenue, a Cedar Cove book, debuted simultaneously on The New York Times, USA Today and Publishers Weekly lists making Debbie, for that week, undoubtedly the best-selling author in America -- and likely around the world.

Debbie's latest novel, TWENTY WISHES, is a story of hope, renewal and inspiration. It follows the fortunes of a group of women who are drawn together at a time of loss in their lives. As their friendship grows, they bond together with a simple but compelling, notion: that each of them should make a list of all the wonderful things they hope to experience in their lives. As she returns to Seattle's Blossom Street -- the setting of her bestselling books The Shop on Blossom Street, A Good Yarn and Back on Blossom Street -- the author welcomes some familiar faces and introduces delightful new characters, continuing her moving exploration of the complex relationships among family and friends.

Despite difficulties and disadvantages, Debbie's fondest wish as a young woman was to become a writer. Her career testifies to the power of wishes, just as this story does. Today, women all over the world wait anxiously for her next book. Publishers Weekly applaud Debbie's "Assured storytelling and affirming narrative" -- and her readers will agree.
