Driving Ms. Pamela – Middle Earth

Posted on 2010 08, 23 by PamelaEwen

Driving from Santa Rosa, to Sacramento, to Stockton has a middle-earth feel. You’re leaving the foggy coastlands, mountainous terrain for the heart of the state, the flatland center where drama is left behind.

Driving Ms. Pamela – Sonoma, Ca.

Goodbye Napa – hello Sonoma! Found two good independent bookstores in the town of Sonoma. Sonoma is a picturesque town with a slower pace than Napa. Harmony reigns. And it’s unusual to find two really great independent stores in a town of this size. In my view, independent bookstores have a special charm–different personalities, like people.

Driving Ms. Pamela – Napa Valley

Long flight from New Orleans to San Francisco, and long drive from SFO airport to Napa, through bumper to bumper rush hour traffic. Beautiful sunset as we arrived though. Relaxing after preparations–having to ship boxes of books and bookmarks to our hotel ahead of us. Too heavy to carry on the flight. Last time I did this, UPS had a freak fire in their warehouse and the books arrived days after I’d already left for home and smoke damaged!

Come along with me on an adventure. Jimmy and I are doing our own version of a book tour–lot’s of fun along the way, and introducing my newest book–Secret of the Shroud–to stores around the country. This part covers Northern and mid-California, all the way to Las Vegas!
