Back in Time

To my readers who have asked what it is like to go on a book tour–this blog is for you! The entire week and all the planning leading up to it was a blast. Many thanks to each and every person who played a part in the week! Here is how my trip unfolded.

Biggest Challenge: Having to ask everyone who are you?

Biggest Surprise:  Interest of children

Biggest Shock: Temperature swings from 70 degrees to 7 degrees and driving on country roads

Would I do it again? In a New York minute!!

Bountiful Blessings!
