Day 13 of the Tour

7:00 PM – Barnes & Noble 7433 Mineral Point Road Madison, WI 53717!

Our first time in Madison. What at a lovely town. We had a wonderful view of Lake Mendota from our hotel room. There is something about a view onto water that feeds the soul. The third week, and no matter how much we enjoy seeing everyone, we are still tired. We were feeling a little discouraged, so we called home, even though we had just left everyone this morning. Trinity was laughing on the other end of the line, even before Grandpa gave her the receiver. The sound of her laughter buoyed us through the evening. The sound of your child’s laughter also feeds the soul. Talking to Grandpa and Grandma, AKA Jon’s parents, was also a good thing. The signing was wonderful. There was over 200 people, most of whom said that they were so glad that we finally came. We try to do someplace new with every tour. But if you really want us to come to your town, talk to your bookseller of choice and have them contact the publisher. The more requests a bookseller has, the more likely they will contact the publisher. And the more contacts in a given area a publisher has, the more likely they are to send an author there.
