The Femme Fantastik Tour is a wonderful group of women who decided we wanted to do advertising for our books our way. Not that we're shunning help from our publishers, just the opposite. We're taking risks as authors to try to ensure that advertising and our books get into the hands of our fans. We're all trying to grow our readership.
This past year, Nina Foxx, Lori Bryant-Woolridge and I added another Femme to our tour and let me tell you, Reshonda Tate Billingsley is no shrinking violet. Not only is she a former anchor newswoman out of Texas, she's got mad talent writing Christian fiction, young adult novels, raising a family and a closet poet. Now she's Femme Fantastik! We're also proud to welcome Trisha R. Thomas of the Nappily Ever After and Nappily Married books, soon to be made into a movie, and several other ladies, Berta Platas and Wendy Coakley-Thompson. I had the auspicious honor to be in the company of Lori, Nina and ReShonda for an event in Austin, Texas, and let me tell you, these girls are funny!
I'm funny, I realized, but funny as hell when I'm with them. We have no-holds-barred freespirit stream-of-conscience banter, but you have to be careful around the sneaky-with-the-camera Nina. She'll catch you doing or saying something, and man, do you look crazy when you watch it back on YouTube. I've learned, carry some lipgloss and try to watch your damned mouth. You will have to explain that *#&% later. Watch for a clip on
