Category: Sand In My Bra

Nashville, TN to Roanoke, VA was a gorgeous drive. I was pretty tired, but couldn’t get enough of the red barns and rolling green country side. I’ll spare you the cliche adjectives, but it was a pleasant ride. The bramobile got lots of looks, too. And so did I. 1)My first honk was from a […]

I'm just leaving a good rest outside of Nashville, TN. I have a long day of driving and then I'll be shelving all embarrassment brain nodes and spreading the Sand-word stealth style in DC at the National Bookfest. That night I have a dinner with the National Association of Asian American Professionals-DC Chapter. The next […]

Friday was a much better day. About a dozen hours of driving from Santa Fe, NM to Oklahoma City, OK. The Indian casinos have slowly dwindled down. And the sage brush has turned to flat green lots with the round hay bushels. Haven’t really seen any of those old red barns I like, but it’s […]

Yesterday was a bad day. The first of all misadventures that didn't end up with any decent stories. I missed my event with the Travel Bug in Santa Fe, NM. Bad calculations, forgot about the time difference, stopped four times to attend to the signs, and didn’t have the right time in my book, etc. […]

The Bramobile needs some BlingBling. As you heard, I had to leave the pink one in San Diego. The new rental is no sight for sore eyes. I've had our blue and white sign on the back hood where it says: Sand in My Bra the funniest book this year www.sandinmybra.com It was great while […]

Distant Landshas become one of my faves. Louann and Angel are always good to me. They were out of Sand so I stopped by while I was in LA to bring them some signed copies. She took ten and said they go fast when she puts them right by the cash register. Louann showed me […]

Sometime over the summer I used Craigslist to catch an inexpensive ride down to Los Angeles. I had blogged about this and meeting Kelly Eom from the Asian Professional Exchange. Over the following weeks we set up an event with their group that they called “Pages and Plates.” They chose a restaurant for us all […]

I'll let you guess who called us today: 1) OPRAH's producer asking for a book and press kit 2) JANE Magazine wanting to interview me for a segment on women who are creating their own success while living on the road less traveled. 3) Book Buyer for the U.S. Army who wants to buy a […]

I know you need a picture. I will try hard to get you one tonight. But suffice it to say that she's never looked better. Susan drove me to San Rafael to pick it up on Sunday. A few hours later Jennifer Colvin brought me a huge 38DD pink bra and I’ve hung it facing […]
