As part of local literary impresario Kevin Smokler's "Virtual Book Tour," Tom will be spending the day online shilling his paperback edition of his debut novel. While we didn't get a chance to read it through ourselves, we've seen more positive reviews than negative, and frankly, we're willing to give any book with a fictionalized account of Lizzie Grubman's SUV 'incident' a fighting chance.

Tom dishes on the differences between San Fran and New York, what it's like to sell gossip and gay sex to bookstores, and where to find the Big Apple gliterati at play after the jump.
