I recently made the brilliant/idiotic decision to take my almost-four-year-old and my just-two-months-old with me on the book tour for The Ladies of Managua. As another author (but one who probably wasn’t changing diapers in between chapters) once wrote, It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. So much so that I both cringed and laughed while writing about the experience for one of my favorite travel websites, Fathom. Click here to read all about my failures and successes. (And don’t even get me started on what happened a month later when I took the kids to Greece and electrified my breast pump!)
