AUTHOR APPEARANCES: RUNNING TWICE AS FAST AND UNICORNS!
I am busy, busy, writing, traveling, appearing, selling and signing. In fact, I spent all day Saturday at Ann Chamberlin’s Book Shop at the AZ Renaissance Faire and once more sold out all my books well before the end of the day.
It’s times like this that I can’t help feeling like Lewis Carroll’s Red Queen: “Now, here, you see, it takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place. If you want to get somewhere else, you must run at least twice as fast as that!”
But, speaking of quotable authors, I did take a little time out from my own very busy schedule to catch up to the spectacular Peter S. Beagle at his Mesa screening appearance of The Last Unicorn Tour. I waited in line to thank him personally for granting me permission to use some lines from A Fine and Private Place in my book, Mirabella and the Faded Phantom. And kind and wonderful author that he is, he spontaneously told me he had read my book and “really liked it” and he called it “a good story.”
Be still my heart! I nearly swooned. Thank you Peter for your fabulous stories and for being such a generous supporting author to those of us still newly hatched. May you continue to receive and enjoy the rock star fame you so richly deserve!
Peter and his awesome Last Unicorn Tour staff have moved on to the next city. Check out the schedule here: http://lastunicorntour.com/
Next stop for me will be the spectacular Tucson Festival of Books event, March 14-15, 2015 from 9:30am-5:30pm at the University of Arizona Campus. Stop by and see me in booth #145

Meanwhile, rather than leave you this week bereft of writing wisdom, I direct you to the highly-recommended Dear Editor blog: http://deareditor.com/2015/03/09/re-why-does-my-action-read-slow/
Find me at the Book Festival and say hello all you fabulous, magical readers and writers!
