Lucky Day
July 13, 2007
Friday the 13th. I pull the covers over my head...but wait...I'm not home...I'm in Dallas...it's ok to get up. This is going to be a great day. Breakfast interview with 5 terrific women who are nurturing and very supportive of each other. They all belong to the same RWA chapter and call themselves The Writing Playground. We had a great time and they even asked me to guest blog. Squeee!!
Off to the press room to talk to Christina Dodd. Her new book, Scent of Darkness, just hit #10 on the PW Bestseller List. Congratulations Christina!!
The rest of the day was spent running from one publisher book signing to another. The books are free and the authors are available to sign them until they're all gone. Oh boy, another 27 books. And I didn't even get to every author before they were gone. Rats!!
Dinner was at a Mexican and sponsored by Dorchester Publishing. Thanks Chris and Leah. We all had a chance to mingle and chow down. Stephanie Rowe entertained us with stories of her "accidentally" walking into a men's bathroom. Twice!! Then back to the Hyatt for a cocktail party hosted by Berkley Publishing. I got to meet J.R. Ward, author of the terrific Black Dagger Brotherhood series and was promised an advance copy of the next book. This trip is just getting better and better.
Need to make this an early night because tomorrow is the big award ceremony. That promises to be a late night and I don't plan on missing a minute of it.
Bottom Line: Friday the 13th has just become my lucky day.
