Hey there,

It's been a couple of weeks and I've finally recovered from 2 months on the road with the "Dancing with the Stars Tour." What a thrill it was to visit 38 cities over this Winter, dancing with some of America's most admired ballroom dancers and with my new friends, Lance Bass, Maurice Green and Toni Braxton. I'll be posting pictures on my Facebook page - "Marlee Matlin Official." Go check it out!

But the big news is my new book which comes out next month on April 14th. Simon and Schuster is publishing my autobiography and it's called "I'll Scream Later." After so many thousands of you who wrote me here at My Space telling me how much my dancing on "Dancing with the Stars" inspired you, I thought it was a good time and tell you my whole story, many chapters of my life  I've never really discussed publicly.  In telling my story, I hope to inspire many more of you to not let barriers stop you from following your hearts.

Anyway, I'll be making my first appearance on TV to discuss the book on Good Morning America on April 13th and will be on Larry King Live on May 7th. But I'm most excited about receving my Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on May 6th. If you're in Los Angeles, come on out to Hollywood and join in the festivities!

You can also come out (buy a book and tell your friends to buy books) and say hi while I'm appearing at book signings and be making appearances on the following dates:

I'll be blogging here am slowly transitioning to Facebook. So come on over and join me there too. Again, it's Marlee Matlin Official at Facebook.  See you there! Meanwhile, I'll be here for a while longer. Not to worry!

PS My heart goes out to my pal Nancy O'Dell who had to leave the new season of "Dancing with the Stars" because of a knee injury. I was so looking forward to being there in the front row of the audience and cheering her on. Get well soon, Nancy!

St Louis is right here in the middle of America. A great place to stop on the way to either coast. There is a Borders or B&N that would be perfect for a book signing. Just sayin' . . . . . . Seriously, though, congrats on the new book. Can't wait to read it.

Try to be funny. :) make me laugh! :) hahhaha....love u!!! u were great on the L word!!! u danced hot! Bette's face when she saw u! hahaha...im glad you both had a small, good moment at the end! im glad it wasn't all anger, and betrayal. i saw bette wanted to hug Jodi. :( she should have. it would have been a great ending of the Jobette chapter. Even though i think Jobette is waaaaaaay better than Tibette! :) ((watch the fans charge at me.)) Jobette was so much fun. Tibette is a bit of a bore to me. ............Anyways! love ya! hope to hear more from u! tell us how larry king was! hehehe

Can't wait for your book and I'll certainly be picking it up when it debuts! Looked at the list to see if you'll be close, hoping Omaha was on the list, but sadly it was not. :-(
