Myfanwy - I know. Normally, tours sound so terrifying and lonely, but thinking of traveling with these three almost makes you want to go on tour, yourself.

Carolyn, Robin, Richard, Julie, Dennis - I agree they’re beautiful and talented and I can’t tell you how much I enjoyed their reading together. Maybe they’ll tour again?

Emily - It was so great to hear all of the behind the scenes action, and like you, I find it so hard not to focus on the nerves or the few empty chairs or the places I stumbled. But I know from my end, watching the three of you, you were glorious and should feel so proud.

Thanks everyone for the kind comments posted about the tour, and thanks Susan for hosting us here. It was really fun to write up a piece about it - brought back alot of memories - and I feel lucky to have been part of it all. Fab Femmes. I like that. Heather, is it snowing up there in Montreal? And Emily, I hope you’re enjoying the Australian summer… It’s raining here in the UK, predictably, and I’m feeling quite nostalgic for the some San Francisco sun…

Thanks all for your lovely comments. When I read Julie’s ‘Awww to be young and beautiful and on tourâ€¦what a dream this sounds’ I found myself thinking that it did indeed sound lovely. It’s my curse to be too anxious to enjoy anything while it’s happening, even if I am acutely aware that what is happening is wonderful and once in a lifetime and that I should damn well enjoy it. I think writing it up like this was really valuable for this very reason - I have something to look back on and think, yes, that was a terrific time, wasn’t it?
Thanks Susan for having us here, and thanks also to all who read and commented.

What a delightful triptych of memoir!

The spectrum of talent on display here is truly astounding. I really enjoyed reading this piece!

Thanks so much for it.

Awww to be young and beautiful and on tour…what a dream this sounds. I’m not jealous, not today. It’s good to hear opportunities like this do happen. Best of luck to these authors and their bright futures.

What fun! I, for one, have never considered “chick lit” to be a derogatory term, however generalized it might be. But I’m also one of those guys who choke up at “chick flicks,” so what do I know?

Is it okay for me to say how jealous I am? These women are so young and beautiful and talented..wah…I want to go out on tour with them! One thing for sure, there are three more books added to my Christmas list now. Susan, you continue to delight me with your interviews and columns at Lit Park, and oh man, how I wish I had caught this trio out on the road. Next time for sure…and err…would you guys consider someone…cough cough…over 39?

Is it just me, or do these three H-P titles realign the chick-lit stars?

Dang, I too wish I’d caught these fab femmes while they were touring. Your interview here is almost as good.

I loved reading these. Having three writers band together and go out as a group is a genius idea, if not simply for the camaraderie alone. I wish I had caught them on their tour. Each book sounds like one I would enjoy.

Congratulations to you all on your novels and tour.
