I put on my traveling boots and hit the tarmac late June 06.
I've since taken most of the photos down, but left a few for the curious.

Joseph-Beth

I went to Joseph-Beth for the
official kick off, and of course, forgot to
take any pictures.
But Nick did, and he was nice enough
to send me them. Thank you, Nick!!

Duane runs the SF area.
I'm on a chair because he's a tall guy.

There's a reason for this picture. Gail couldn't
make it, so she sent her niece. (big grin) Hi Gail!
Borderlands, San Francisco, CA
![Borderlands](../images/Events/2006/FOCtour/lrBorderlands.JPG)
I felt very much at home surrounded by
so many people who truly knew books and loved them.
Cincinnati OH.

Me and and a die hard reader. He drove three
hours to get to Cincy,
then had car trouble on the way back. But we
had a great conversation over coffee first. ;-)
Vacation!

Me on a beach. I tried to stay out of the sun,
but my ankles got it good.
San Diego
And a coffee decompression with those who stayed to the end.![Kim and readers](../images/Events/2006/FOCtour/lrCoffeDecompressionSanDiego.JPG)
Thanks, guys. I'll never forget how pleasant it
was. ;-) I was so tired, but you made it hard to leave.
And I finished up at Atlanta Georgia at
RWA![Kim and Sherrilyn Kenyon](../images/Events/2006/FOCtour/Kim and Sherrilyn Kenyon.jpg)
I got to sit next to Sherrilyn Kenyon for the signing.
Well, almost. Between us is the young lady helping Sherrilyn that day. I like this
picture because of all the people at the Romance Writer's Association
conference, we three looked the most alike, Goth wise.
We're at the CNN building at an off-site signing.
