She had recently developed a book-centered travel company, called <a href=\"https:\/\/www.novel-travels.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Novel Travels<\/a>, and asked if I\u2019d be her inaugural author. Intrigued, we met in person when she came into town and immediately hit it off. I\u2019m thrilled to report that the first-ever \u201cFiona Davis Books On Tour\u201d launched on a warm weekend this past March and was a huge success, even more so than I\u2019d ever imagined.<\/p>\n<p>The attendees were from all around the country &#8212; California to Cape Cod, Michigan to South Carolina &#8212; and consisted of two mother\/daughter duos, as well as a pair of sisters-in-law. The first night, we met for cocktails at the Algonquin Hotel, where Corinne had arranged for us to sit at the famed \u201cround table\u201d of Dorothy Parker fame. Not a bad start. Over the next four days, the group hit the prime locations of each of my eight novels, as well as the Tenement Museum, the Strand bookstore, and a Broadway show (<em>The Great Gatsby<\/em>, of course).<\/p>\n<p>Our fearless tour guide was renowned New York historian Kevin Draper. At each venue, he provided context and background regarding the characters and plots of my books, as well as offering fascinating insights into New York City history. I met the crew to tour Grand Central Terminal and the New York Public Library and joined them at night for dinner (all but one held in a private room). The conversations circled around books we love, books we recommend, book clubs, favorite bookstores &#8212; you get the drift. It was heaven.<\/p>\n<p>Our last night together we were all a little weepy, as we\u2019d truly connected with each other. There\u2019s something about sharing your love of a book, of making yourself vulnerable about what moves you most, that\u2019s like no other bond. I can\u2019t wait to do it again, and I can\u2019t wait to see what other authors and literary-related travel Corinne will be lining up. She\u2019s also working on Fiona Davis day tours for those who are in the area or who prefer a more pared-down itinerary.
