BEA 2011
So, yesterday was insane. There were delays at DFW, and I sat on the plane waiting for a gate for two hours. They even broke out the emergency rations (granola bars) from beneath my seat. Yes, I was in the very last seat on the plane. Even the flight attendant felt sorry for me.
But today is awesome. I love BEA.
After six hours of sleep, I lee the hotel this morning and signed ARCs of Blood Bound and ARCs of If I Die back to back. The crowd was huge. Gena Showalter and I were the bread on a Heather Graham Sandwich. Seriously. I ran out of books and had to apologize to people. I feel bad for everyone who waited for an hour and didn't get a book, but I'm so glad there were so many people interested. One of our handlers even brought a nice lady forward to claim my last copy of Blood Bound, because she'd been waiting for an hour and only wanted my book. I smiled for ten straight minutes.
The HQTeen/Kimani signing was equally awesome. And maybe even more fun. YA readers (both adult and teen) are very enthusiastic. Also, they had a green sharpie for me. It matched the book! That pleases me more than it should, I know.
The line for If I Die was too long, so they passed the books out in advance so people who wouldn't get one didn't have to wait in line for nothing. And…I snagged one o those ARCs for myself and will be giving it away here on my blog very soon.
In other news, my editor and I are very close to a decision on who will narrate the upcoming Soul Screamers online novella, and I'm really getting excited about writing it.
And…they have a big poster of If I Die right next to the cover for Aimee Carter's sequel in the Harlequin booth!
