Hope you all had a great Mother's Day yesterday. My kid's made an awesome Sunday Brunch and we sat on our daughter's patio and watched enormous red tailed hawks gliding over the meadow behind her house, occasionally landing on a tree to survey the meadow for their own brunch. I don't think their brunch was nearly as yummy as mine--and I know it didn't include champagne!

I am getting ready to hit the road on the first of many stops on my book tour. The first stops are this afternoon and this evening in San Diego at:

College Rolando Library at 4pm
6600 Montezuma Rd, San Diego

Rancho Bernardo Library at 6pm
13330 Salmon River Rd, San Diego

Stop by if you're in San Diego!

Then tomorrow morning I am off to several cities in Illinois, Wisconsin, and Ohio for various visits at bookstores and schools. My first visit is with a Mother-Daughter book club that I am really looking forward to. I will also be visiting several middle and high schools to talk about The Adoration of Jenna Fox I think it's going to be a lot of fun to hear teen's thoughts about this book.

The public visits on the tour are:

May 14, 7 pm
Harry Schwartz Bookstore
10976 N. Port Washington Rd.
Mequon, WI 53092

May 16, 7 pm
Books & Co
Dayton Town & Country Shopping Center
350 East Stroop Road
Dayton (Kettering), Ohio

So if you live anywhere nearby I hope you'll come. I'll post pictures when I return!
talk to me . . .

Have a great trip!

I'm sorry I missed the Carlsbad signing. Just too hard on the family the day before I left for 5 days in Georgia.

I MUST get a signed book!

ohhh, you're good, Debbi! I just grabbed this from a stock photo where they had it labled as a hawk and without any coloring looked close enough to me ; )

Hang in there. Book tours can drain you. Savor the moment and make good use of your escort.

Thanks David. I just got back and am trying to catch up--RECOVER is more like it--but I followed your advice and tried to savor moments instead of stressing about details. Will blog about it as soon as I, uh, recover. : )
