* Local Book Launch Party * Postcards, email, Facebook announcements to people who previously bought my book and those that might. * Will schedule lots of readings around the state; such as bookstores, libraries, Vernon Communications, CouleeCap, and do some crazy fun readings on top of Black Hawk Rock here and other local hiking areas. * I will make myself available via Skype for book club meetings and will mention this on my new website that should be finished at the end of August. * I will try to get a “Wisconsin Life” segment on WPR. * I will again be interviewed on WDRT, and will add in WORT and WPR. * I will send out PR to all local and statewide papers.

Not a Perfect Fit is a collection of stories that are laugh-out-loud funny one minute and thought-provoking the next. Stories range from Schmidt's experience living off-grid as the only English woman in an Amish neighborhood to family trips that are remarkably similar to National Lampoon's Vacation. Through it all, she manages to rise above the many challenges she faces - inspiring and entertaining her audience along the way. Filled with animal antics, gratitude, mishaps, and madcap adventures, Not a Perfect Fit's tell-all, single-girl-gone-country, down-home stories give readers permission to laugh and cry - and, most important, to carry on.
