Here's What's On My Mind!

The Pre-Tour Crunch

Okay, so now it begins--less than a week til I leave for my Fall 2016 book tour which Penguin is calling Nancy Krulik's Rocking Chapter book Tour.  Gotta love it--I feel like a rock star. I can't wait to meet kids in Poulsbo and Seattle WA and San Carlos, El Dorado Hills, and Pleasanton CA!  There's nothing like walking into a room of kids who are all antsy and excited (not to mention often sweaty from recess) and asking them to burp and bark at you!  Signing books for eager readers and posing for pix with the parental paparazzi isn't bad either. And then I gotta say Penguin puts me up in some awesome hotels.  And this go-round I will get to see my daughter in her newly native Northern Cali habitat, which is an added bonus.

Yeah, nothing beats touring. But right now, I'm paying the price.  The week before a tour is tough--not only do I have to sweat out whether or not my character t-shirts will arrive on time (they arrived this afternoon thankfully), I also have to plan out the program--which chapters I will read, and what games the kids and I will play.  And of course, I have to get two week's worth of work done now, because writing on an iPad in a hotel room after a day of hanging with kids, signing and flying is a real no-can-do (mostly because of the flying.  The airlines don't make it easy do they?).  So if I seem a little distracted this week, please forgive me.  I'm in pre-tour mode.

I will most definitely post pictures on Twitter @NancyKrulik--so you can all follow along on the fun. Look out West Coast--the burps and barks are flying out your way on a magic wind (well, actually on a plane, but that has nothing to do with Katie Kazoo Switcheroo!)

    I'm really just a big kid. And I intend on staying that way!
