You have the freedom to wear what the guys wear -- "good" jeans, shirt and jacket look good on everybody IMO!

Amazoningly, I don’t must. So, I didn’t, and tried Bookshop.org. I have faith.

I am attending the (virtual) event at the Dallas Museum of Art but I don’t want to wait until then to read your book. So I just put a hold on it at my library. I can’t wait to read it!

Extending the pregnancy metaphor, do you ever struggle with postpartum issues? I'm not being flippant, it's something I've heard other authors struggle with, and it's something I've had my own issues with. So I wonder if you have any tips, tricks, or other wisdom?

I had never pondered the fashion crisis that book tour would create. I can’t wait for this book!!!!

I also vote for “dress like a guy.” Scarves and earrings don’t take up much suitcase space. Two pairs of boots (one pair that can get wet, one that would prefer not to) are a must so your feet don’t get tired of the same footwear every day. I can’t wait to get my preorder and wonder if it will have the US or UK cover (in central Europe, who knows what will arrive in the mail?). Bon voyage!

I hope you're coming to the Twin Cities of Minnesota - St Paul or Minneapolis for your book tour. We would love to see you and I would get all of my book clubbie friends, online and in-person clubs that I am a member of, to come to your reading. I LOVED The Great Believers - truly one of my all-time favorite books. I loved the characters so much I did not want it to end, so I immediately listened to it again. I insist with everyone that is looking for a good book that hasn't read it, that they must read it. Please come to our lovely city.
