I will NEVER get through all these pages of posts before the big birthday dinner, so I will say that the book signing was wonderful. It was in a really coll independent bookstore in Glendale.
The traffic was very congested, (I assumed everyone was coming to the bookstore) so we arrived a bit late, somewhere in the middle of chapter one.
The audience, which included our own Boo-key, Adriana and DR PennyO, were really enjoying the reading and laughing quite a bit.
bk stopped the reading at chapter 3 in order not to give away any of the mystery. The characters were very fun (and there's a kitty, yay!) and I'm looking forward to reading my autographed copy! I also bought one for my niece, who will love it, based on what I heard at the reading.
bk did a Q&A afterwards, and introduced 3 other authors in the audience, including PennyO.
A yummy chocolate mousse cake was served, and after visiting with Cason, Adriana and PennyO, we followed her to her car so I could pick up a copy of her book. I know Singdaw enjoyed it so much, so I was glad to be able to get a copy, autographed as well!
Now I'm back at my swanky hotel, having taken a shower as I promised bk I would, and getting ready to be at Ghengis Cohen at 7PM, and "not one minute later"!
