Praise for the Leo Trio

  • “A shoot-margarita-out-your-nose funny collection of 32 different travel essays stretching across the globe and into every area of embarrassment that you’re thankful didn’t happen to you.”
    —Playgirl, (The Thong Also Rises)

    “A collection of ridiculous and sublime travel experiences.”
    —San Francisco Chronicle Best-Seller List, (Sand in My Bra )

    “These snappy travel stories bursting with candor and crackling humor are sure to leave readers feeling that to not have an adventure to remember is a great loss indeed.” —Publishers Weekly, (Sand in My Bra )

    “The whimsy, the weighty, and the wild-eyed. Whose Panties Are These? delivers thirty-one more humorous, sometimes raunchy essays from exotic places, in anatomically correct detail. The writers are mostly professional journalists and they are definitely women of mischief versed in the first two rules of travel: laugh first and don’t ever whine.”
    —ForeWord Magazine, (Whose Panties Are These?)

    Whose Panties Are These? isn’t niche, it’s freakin’ hilarious. Jen Leo has collected destructively funny stories of everything that can go really wrong on the road to women... Laughing at, and with, these gals’ misadventures is good karma for everyone. You’re probably next.”
    —Student Traveler Magazine

CBC Radio in Canada

Hosts

The CBC called yesterday. I'm going to be on their Freestyle show this morning around 930am PST.

CBC Freestyle (Listen Live)

I had a great chat with the producer yesterday and this is expected to be a fun show with hosts Cameron Phillips and Lisa Christiansen (standing in for Kelly Ryan) .

Thinking about media events in Canada brought back great memories of the time Erik Trinidad helped me with promotions in Montreal during the Just for Laughs festival in Montreal.That was the summer after Sand in My Bra came out. I was on  CBC radio then, too. But the two things that stick out the most, was shopping for Erik's pink bra, our stealth promotions, and our legit promotions where I read with Christine Michaud (now Martinez) at Chapters.

We've had several Canadian contributors included in the series, but surprisingly none this time around for Jockstrap. Hungary, yes. Australia, yes. Traveler in Romania, check. Writer setting up an orphanage in Nepal, check. But no Candians this time. I'll make sure to tell them about the other books.

The books are available in Canada now. PGW has plenty in their warehouse, and I checked with the Travel Bug in Vancouver and they have some in stock, too. But since we couldn't get the book to the hosts fast enough, we sent then some sample stories. They will be reading Jim Benning, Elliott Hester, Rachel Thurston, and Tamara Sheward.
