Hey everybody. It's the day before the big Soul Expressions Author Tour and I'm very excited.

I've been running here and there most of the morning doing last minute errands. I did a little bit of shopping too--gotta look good--especially now that Billy Dee Williams is scheduled to join us at the reception being held later in the week. Can you imagine?

My editor Erika has asked me to get her an autograph, so I'm going to do my best. Hopefully, if and when I meet him, I won't have my mouth filled with cookies like I did when the late great Johnny Cochran came strolling into one of my signings!
Too embarrassing!

There are twenty authors on the tour and they write everything from romance to women's fiction to hip hop to inspirational, so we should have something for every reader who comes to see us.

Representing Avon will be Selena Montgomery, Nina Foxx, and moi. We also have a guy touring with us who writes teen romance. I hope he'll be able to handle all that estrogen.

I'm going to close now. Much to do. Avon author Nina Fox will be blogging while we're on the road, so please stop by and see how we're doing. I'll give you all a full report when I return. In the meantime, check the tour schedule to see if we're coming to a WalMart near you.

Thanks and stay blessed.
