In the late 1950s, Volkswagen came up with a new innovation to put in their vehicles: a coffee maker. As we gear up for our AWA Book Tour, we may have to take a page out of VW’s book and super glue a percolator to the dash…

If you’d like to join us on our “Kinda Cross Country Book Tour” extravaganza (yes, Dexter is joining us 🐶) take a peek at our route and send us your suggestions where else we should stop here. We hope to see you there! (Coffee will kindly be accepted).
