Am I Coming to Visit?

    Years ago when I was writing but not selling anything, I dreamed of a life in which I was a successful writer with enough money to travel all over the country doing research for my next book.

    I haven't reached that point, but that's okay, because I am traveling to promote my books and earn an income. I just need to get more efficient and work some research into every trip. :-)

    So here's my schedule for 2012, so far. If I'm coming to a city near you, and you have suggestions for libraries/yarn shops/bookstores I might contact, please let me know. If there's something interesting in that area I should see or research, don't be shy!  (And if you know of a responsible person in my area who might want to do chores the days I'm gone, let me know. We have one person lined up, but we're going to need more.)
