Jenny has visited our book club several times and I also feel it has been a privilege to hear her speak. I am thrilled about your success Jenny and wish you and your family the best of everything!

So what does your husband do while you’re on the road? What was the budget for “7 months on the road” versus the income generated? Other income lost? Who was taking care of your house? I love doing events, but this would never happen in my life for countless reasons.

Great article and I love touring with my books. I’ve been a full-time author for 4 years now and I’ve performed at over 900 schools, libraries and book festivals, around the UK and internationally (none in the US yet).
It’s my job to inspire, engage and enthuse young readers to learn to love books.
Keep up the great work!
Stuart

In reply to Melissa MacCrae. Maine is my favorite bookish state, Melissa! Well, one of my favorites anyway. One of 48 ;) I'm sure you had fun!

In reply to Earl Staggs. Earl, how nice to see your comment! Not only are you a big part of the tours, but you're also in my second book :) I was just thinking about Earl the Hero the other day. Love that guy.

Thanks for this, I’ve just reposted on my own FB page, Lesia Daria. I’m in the process of organising my own ‘mini-tour’ and I too find that the biggest satisfaction is each individual reader!

Jenny, your enterprising, adventurous, insane, over-the-top cross-country book tours have made you a legend in your own time. I feel privileged to have been able to spend time with you in person. Twice! I hope you include D/FW again in your next one. All my best wishes to you and your family.

In reply to Jenny Milchman. As a self-published author of 2 nonfiction titles, who undertook the short version of your "book tours" at many small Maine bookstores and libraries, I say 'thanks for the memories.' And to all you other women authors, More Power to You!
