I am lucky enough to do exactly what I want to be doing, Author Events Coordinator. I get to travel and meet interesting (and not so interesting) authors.
I just got home from 2 weeks on the road with Jenna Bush. Whatever your political leanings (and mine are very very left leaning), I came to admire Jenna, for using her status to write and promote a book dealing with HIV/AIDS awareness and working with UNICEF. The best thing about it was that we visited several school districts, all in red states where they would never have let Chelsea Clinton in their auditorium to talk about AIDS. Jenna however, was greeted with open arms, and the students left with a better understanding (and hopefully compassion for) HIV patients.
