What is book tour really like?
A few book tour questions came in last week: How does the tour work exactly? Are you responsible for paying for everything or does the publisher do that? Do you drive everywhere yourself or take planes? The upcoming FORGE tour will be my fifth book tour in six years. (This could be why I am [...]
More airport coffee, llooking for llamas
I’m back in the Atlanta airport, waiting, this time, for the plane that will take me to Lima, Peru. No, this is not part of the book tour. I am going to Lima to speak at an American School there, the same way that I went to Warsaw, Poland in 2007. Many people have written [...]
Tour recap!!!
I’m about halfway packed for Peru and halfway caught up on business stuff, so I think I deserve a little break to fill you in on the second half of the WINTERGIRLS tour. This sums it up nicely. (One of the lovely things given to me by a reader while I was on the road.) [...]
Update on that update
I am home for a few days and not drowning in the backlog of mail, thanks to the gloriousness that is Queen Louise. Plus, she’ll totally organized the office in my absence!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Yes. I would take a bullet for La Queen.) The, erm, somewhat frantic news is that I have to repack my suitcase because [...]
I’ve been on tour for a week already?
HAPPY BLUR. That’s what the first week of the WINTERGIRLS tour has been. I apologize for not being more faithful with my blog posts, but seriously, the last part of the week was in hyperdrive, and everyone knows that the laws of physics prohibit blog postings while in hyperdrive. I am in Austin, TX right [...]
LA Day 2 & strolling the streets of San Francisco
My morning Chinatown walk was great, thanks, and I got back in time to watch the end of the Syracuse/Arizona game. S.U. won and is in the Sweet Sixteen! It’s tempting to post photo after photo of me standing in front of the groups I get to speak to this tour, but that would be [...]
Stay tuned
I have a couple of unforeseen free minutes and I am in San Francisco. Much as I love you guys, I really need a walk. I’ll try to sneak a blog update in when I get back. Promise.
Los Angeles, Day #1
The “Here and Now” NPR interview is up!! Have a listen and tell me what you think! After a couple of radio interviews first thing in the morning, I set out on the great adventure. Had three wonderful school presentations, thanks to the coordination by Children’s Book World. Because this is LA, we were able [...]
Tour 2009 & First Day of Spring
Good Equinox, good peoples, especially those of you shivering on Brooklyn where it is snowing! Here is a picture of what our forest looked like just as I was leaving yesterday. The daffodils are up! Yesterday’s trip to LA was pretty smooth. The plane was over an hour late leaving Syracuse, so I had a [...]
