Country crooner Sara Evans [ tickets ] has further filled out her summer tour plans and added new dates scattered into the winter months.

The award-winning singer--who will continue her current outing June 19 in Sun Valley, ID--has tacked an additional 23 stops onto the US trek, which is headed to fairs, festivals and theme parks into early September. Following a nearly three-month break, Evans will return to the road after Thanksgiving for a casino-and-theater run along the West Coast through mid-December. Details are included below.

Evans, who married former University of Alabama quarterback Jay Barker last summer, most recently released "Greatest Hits" in 2007. The album marked her 10-year anniversary in the music business and reached No. 3 on Billboard's Top Country Albums chart. "Real Fine Place," which surfaced in 2005 and claimed the top spot on Billboard's Top Country Albums chart, is Evans' most recent collection of all-new material.

In related news, Evans signed a four-book deal with Thomas Nelson Publishing Company earlier this year. The country artist plans to reveal her first inspirational novel later this year, in conjunction with a new studio album produced by Nathan Chapman.

Said to be influenced by her own life and experiences, the work, as described by Evans on her website, is an "emotional, Southern-flavored, multi-generational tale, featuring a compelling love story."

"I believe there is power in great stories," Evans continued. "This is the kind of book I love to read and share."
