It's true. Some things you have to see to believe. And then, even though you're certain of the reliability of your own eyes, you still don't believe it.

While touring with my latest book, I trudged through the unglamorous moments and carried on with the hard work of it all. In short, that means long days and long miles that bring on a bone-deep weariness that is hard to describe, and harder to endure. It means being up at 4 a.m., or sleeping late to 5 a.m., and then heading out to be bright and perky on early morning radio or television in a different city every day or so.
