As for ideas of stops ...Pat,<BR/><BR/>That's a great picture. As for ideas of stops in the book tour:<BR/><BR/>Sonoma County, California<BR/><BR/>We are north of the Golden Gate bridge. Deep in the heart of the wine country, just west of the Continental Divide (otherwise known as a mountain chain that separates Napa and Sonoma counties. Yes, there is an intense rivalry!).<BR/><BR/>Getting down to San Francisco is a big deal for me, but if you can't make it all the way to Sonoma County - there's always Book Passage in Corte Madera in Marin County. They have author signings every night of the week. Which is incredible and it will also mean that you'll be competing with them for audiences. You might not have that same problem if you were to come to Sonoma County where signings are more of a weekly occurrence rather than daily.<BR/><BR/>Please keep up apprised of all the updates as they happen in the birthing of this book!<BR/><BR/>LindaLinda C.

M.G. might not recognize where I am, but it should ring a bell with Therese - I'm in Macomb.<BR/><BR/>Both the Quad Cities and Peoria serve as my mini-metropolitan meccas. I go to one or the other when I'm in need of things beyond what I can find at the local Walmart or Farm King. Both the QC and Peoria are about an 1 1/4 drive. Chicago (depending on where in the metro area) and St. Louis are about 3 1/2 hour drives.<BR/><BR/>My little community has its own charms - think Norman Rockwell does the Midwest - and I <B>love</B> my 5 minute commute (lots more time in the day for things like writing), but it's also a little remote.
