YA author sets out on book tour by bike

A Scottish author is taking his book on tour ... on two wheels.

The Bookseller reports that John Young began biking the route followed by his protagonists — a total of about three hundred miles across Scotland — on Monday.

Young is expected to wrap up his trip on Friday after making several public appearances along the way.

His YA novel, Farewell Tour of a Terminal Optimist, tells the story of cancer patient Connor, who takes off on a journey with a friend after growing frustrated by the pitying reaction to his illness.
