48 No Interstate

Behind My Eyes begins its first National Tour .... In a way ..... 

Well, I’ve done something I said I would never do. I’ve started posting on Instagram. Technically, I started posting on Instagram back in December, but that one picture sat there, all by its lonesome, for four months.

I was never anti-Instagram. I’ve been visiting other people’s Instagrams for years. I was just against having to learn how to use it myself. The truth is, it’s not that hard to post a picture and write a caption about it. What is hard is having to regularly find Instagram-worthy photos to post, especially when you’re somebody who has hundreds of pictures of her dog but not too many of anything else.

But now, thanks to my brother and sister-in-law’s Spring vacation and their willingness to advertise my book along the way, I finally have a slew of Instagram-worthy photos to post. And by Spring vacation, I’m not talking about going to the beach for a week and then coming home. I’m talking about a trip that will literally last all but about eight days of the season.

Nick, Laura, my book, and two car magnets advertising my book have embarked on a 48 No Interstate adventure. Unfortunately I did not embark with them (somebody has to stay behind and watch their dogs), but thanks to their extended trek and a couple of other people who happen to be going to Hawaii and Alaska in the next couple of months, Behind My Eyes will have traveled through all 50 states before the summer is over.
The 48 No Interstate tour is currently on state number 6. Nick and Laura are documenting their trip on Facebook (Facebook.com/48nointerstate), Instagram (Instagram.com/48nointerstate), Twitter (@48nointerstate...I haven’t made the Twitter leap yet), and Pinterest (I don’t even know how to tell you to find them there, but if there’s a search bar of some sort, typing in 48nointerstate would probably be a good start).

Photos of my book at various landmarks across the United States can be found on my now up and running Instagram page (Instagram.com/jessicaholtwrites). And a few copies of my book will find new homes along the way, the first being Pinky’s Eatery in Tampa, Florida.
One last thing. To the few Instagram followers I unknowingly accumulated over the last four months, I’m sorry you’ve had nothing to actually follow, but I greatly appreciate the fact that you found me on Instagram and wanted to keep up with me that way. Now you can.
