Wine, costumes, cookies, and yes, some signing

I’m always trying new plants out in my office, and this year, I’ve got a miniature grapevine to nurse through the winter. It sort of got dried out when I brought it in, dropping all its leaves as the tag said it would, but since I’ve never had one, I wasn’t sure if it was because it was time or that it got dried out. But this week when I was watering, I found a small bud of green. Yay! I didn’t kill it! Even better, this sounds like something it’s supposed to do.

I’ve been busy this week with Peri, but the Hollows isn’t quite done yet. Not by a long shot, actually, (you heard about Al’s short, right?) and if you are thinking of going to Ann Arbor’s, final Hollow event, (10/30) you should call the store for your ticket. It’s free, but as usual, they appreciate it if you buy a book, any book, while you’re there to help defray the cost of having me in there, chasing other customers off with our shenanigans. And we will be shenaniganing. There will be wine tasting, cookie eating, swag giving, costume contesting, and roll playing (if we get any takers.) We’re nearing the cut-off for attendees, so if you’re in the area and want to come out, give Nicola’s a call to arrange your ticket at:

734-662-0600

Nicola’s Books

Westgate Shopping Center

2513 Jackson Avenue

Ann Arbor, MI  48103

nicolasbooks@tds.net

Nicola’s DOES and WILL have for the event, and it’s not too late to have me sign the last Hollows hardcover for you and get it in the mail if you can’t attend. (International is okay, but email them at the above address for a shipping quote.) but they won’t be personalized as Nicola’s are.

It’s a one ticket, one person event only because we’re getting close to the fire codes. Chances are we won’t get to that cut off, but if you know you’re bringing someone with you, get a ticket for them, too.

And I’ll see you there!
