Photo Essay 2: Oleander Girl, The Book Tour
Tours have their challenges.
You wake up at dawn to catch flights.
You stand in long security lines at the airports.
You go to cities where you are unknown and three people show up at your reading.
You find out at the last minute that your media interview has been cancelled.
You eat on the run, whatever you can find, and then you come home and discover that you've gained ten pounds.
BUT
Tours are also where you meet warm and supportive readers you would never have met otherwise. And that makes it all worthwhile.
