Who wants a visitor?
OK, so I had another one of my wacky ideas and I'm just going with it: I want to do a road trip/book tour this spring. In April or May, probably.
I think I'll drive down to LA, stop and see my mom in Arizona, maybe head out to Texas, across the South to Florida, up to New York, and back across the Midwest to Chicago, to Seattle and down through Oregon back home.
Something that would make this actually feasible would be the possibility of staying with friends rather than paying for motels for two or three weeks. So if you know me fairly well and feel like it might be fun to have a houseguest for no more than two nights (I'm very tidy and I cook!), I'd love to combine some friend-visiting into my plans. I have several f-list friends I've met in person who can vouch for me not being a serial-killer or unduly pervy in non-pervy settings (i.e. I'm child-proof. Spouse- and parent-proof, too.)
Anyone? I can even bring an air mattress and my own pillow. ;)
Let me know ASAP if you're interested in hooking up so I can start seeing what bookstores are in what areas and if they'd be willing to carry my book/do an author signing/workshop.
Thanks!

But honestly, on a more serious subject, I'm so terribly sorry for slacking so much on the book thing. I really do want to get your book in my store, my mind has just kinda been everywhere lately, and... well, I don't really have a good excuse. I've talked to my boss about it, she's interested, but I haven't done any follow ups with her lately.
I will be talking with her sometime tomorrow (Wednesday), so let me ask her about that then. Then when you guys get a hold of each other, you can talk about maybe doing a workshop of some point! We don't often do workshops, but if we got the word out soon enough, I think that this could be a win-win situation for us all!
Hopefully I'll have a phone number to pass along to you tomorrow.

No problem about the delay on the book - I haven't eben as proactive as I'd like on contacting people. I'd be grateful for any info you have though, and can send a sample copy at any time.
