Book tours aren't glamorous, but they are a wonderful opportunity to meet loyal and new readers. Yesterday I wondered if I would make it to my next destination--The South Kentucky Book Festival. Thunderstorms in Austin and Houston kept my plane from leaving and landing on time. But even though my luggage didn't make it to the connecting flight, I did. I'm embarrassed to say that I spent much of the flight fretting about how the next day I would be wearing the same dress and have to make an early morning dash to the drug store for makeup.

Thank goodness, the view from my window reminded me how minor my troubles were and what a very lucky writer I was to have this chance to be sent on this journey. I hope you will be a part of it. You can check here to see where I'll be on tour.
