Yeah, this is basically the way of it--add in that everyone assumes your publisher is paying for it so you obviously can pick up the tab at any dinner and you have extra fun.
I was lucky in that my publisher paid for this tour. But it's my 10th book and the only one with serious money and steam behind it. A coincidence it's my biggest success? No. But you have to pound the pavement either way. It's not optional anymore.
