Six days: one 7:30 a.m. pickup, two 6:00s, and one 4 a.m.; nine full-fledged events of sixty to ninety minutes; two television and one radio spot; twenty drop-in chats with booksellers; four states; six cities; four plane flights; four escorts; four limo drivers; hundreds of greetings and handshakes; a few thousand autographs (my signature used to have letters in it, before I was a writer).
Touching down home, off again briefly on Tuesday for the Bay Area, and then I can scratch my head and wonder about that book I’m supposed to be writing.
And today there’s a poll being held over at the Lipstick Chronicles, where I’ll be guesting next week, to ask if the blog readers would prefer a full frontal “f” word in my post or the coy ** in the middle. Do contribute your voice.

Nevertheless, despite all attempts at ex-city mouse air of unflappability, was thrilled to the news – relayed by a friend who just called – that you’re coming to visit our neighborhood, over here in Concord/Clayton, CA on Wednesday. Hope your travels aren’t too rigorous, and will look f’ward to meeting you, thanking you for marvelous writing, at Clayton Books!
