The Bramobile Hits the Road!
Ride along as this year’s funniest book sweeps the nation
Events for our hilarious women’s humor book, Sand in My Bra and Other Misadventures, have been standing-room only, and great reviews are pouring in from all over North America. The book is rocketing out the door at a faster clip than anything we’ve ever published, so we’re sending the “Mistress of Misadventure,” editor Jennifer Leo, on a cross-country tour of events and speaking engagements. Follow her daily blog as she writes from the road.Jen is on the road in her “Sand in My Bra” Bramobile making new friends, meeting curious onlookers, and discovering funny new material for a sequel. She started her tour on the West Coast and is migrating east through Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Mississippi, Illinois — all the way to the National Book Festival in Washington, D.C. The terminus will be Atlanta, Georgia where Raj Khadka, our editor-at-large, and his wife, are in need of wheels for their stint at Emory University.
