Taylor Hicks is on a different sort of tour this week as he hits the network show circuit promoting his new book, Heart Full of Soul: An Inspirational Memoir About Finding Your Voice and Finding Your Way.

This morning the season 5 winnner of American Idol is appearing on Good Morning America during the 8 – 9 a.m. hour. He will appear on ABC’s The View tomorrow, July 18.

The 272 page book was released on July 10.

Hicks will be signing copies of the book today at the midtown Manhattan location of Barnes & Noble before returning to the Magic City later this week to do book signings at Brookwood Village on Thursday evening and the Boutwell Auditorium on Friday evening. Those interested in knowing where Taylor heads next should go over to IdolStalker.com where appearances for the month of July are listed.

NOTE: Friday will be crazy downtown, with Art on the Rocks and the Harry Potter book release party at McWane Science Center
