I am looking forward to meeting new smiling faces at upcoming book events and hearing their thoughts on this new Alycat book. Reconnecting with Alycat fans who have followed this journey from the beginning is always a joy too. I love to see them open the new book for the first time. It’s like reconnecting with an old friend.
Alycat and the Friendship Friday is different from the first two books as Alycat has more grown up features and big kid problems to resolve. In my head, this book is secretly called Alycat 3.0 (yeah, I know it’s cheesy). It’s the third book with an updated look and a few new characters. I like to think that Alycat is growing up with her readers.
I am also looking forward to an epic book tour along the Gulf Coast states. For the first two books, we have visited multiple states from Louisiana to Tennessee. This time we are headed southeast to Florida. We will start in Louisiana and head to Barnes & Noble Destin, FL, then head to Sundog Books in Seaside, FL. After a few days in Disneyworld, we will come back to Baton Rouge, LA for the Louisiana Book Festival where I will be a featured author.
