My book was published this week by Random House! And CommunityGal took a few minutes to call me up and ask a few questions about it. We had a great chat and we thought you might like to listen in. Turn up the volume, then go visit my website view link and once you've done that, you can enter the Queen of the Road contest by reading the details below!

(And, just to mention: Borders has chosen QUEEN OF THE ROAD as their June nonfiction book club selection and it's also a Target Breakout Book! Please do see the "appearances and events" link on my website, in case I'm touring in your area. I'd so love to meet fellow Eons members at one of my readings/signings and royal shticks - upcoming in Phoenix, Portland, Marin, Oakland, Denver, Boulder. Gals - bring your boas! And, QUEEN OF THE ROAD just got a fabulous review in the Rocky Mountain News - they called it a "witty, fun read" and gave it an "A" - well, I did study hard... view link)

How would you like to live in a glorified tin can for a year? Call me crazy (hey, wait a minute. I’m the shrink. If anyone’s going to call me crazy… ) but that’s exactly what we did. Me, my husband, Tim, our dog and two cats. Tim’s the one who proposed this idiotic idea of taking a midlife career break and traveling all over the U.S. in a bus. He wanted to live his dream. How nice.



The first three people who answer these questions correctly and PM me with the answers can win my book and some Eons swag!

1. What animals did Doreen and Tim take on their adventure?
2. How many pairs of shoes does Doreen own?
3. Did Doreen and Tim visit a nudist RV park on their trip?
