So, okay: today was my family signing at BEA, and though it did not *quite* go off without a hitch, ultimately, all’s well that ends well, and it was a fabulicious event and SO MUCH FUN!

Though I’d been told that the signing was slated for 12pm, my editor had thought it was 12:30, and being the confident, outspoken person that I am, I immediately assumed she was correct and chose to silently defer rather than voice my vague misgivings.
Thus, our entrance to the autographing pavilion was fashionably late, and slightly dramatic. Apparently a lovely assortment of kind people had actually lined up in anticipation of a signed book from me (!), and mere moments before my arrival, had been turned away by the event organizers. D’oh!

Nonetheless, the fearless organizers managed to wrangle everyone back, and once I was seated and in place, the signing kicked off.

People, we signed every last copy of my book and I met some delightful librarians, bloggers, and other reader types. I’m so flattered that anyone would line up for little old me — not to mention, wait out my own bubble-brained self-imposed delay! — and I had a blast. Thanks a million zillion to all who came out, and I hope you like the book!
