November 2nd, 2009
As promised, I'm starting the pics from the San Jose/World Fantasy Convention trip. The first stop (well, okay, after Starbucks for some caffeine courage before the signing) was Kepler's Books and Magazines in Menlo Park, CA. I was terrible about taking pics once the chat and sign began, because I was too busy talking (I know, you're shocked), but here are a few taken just before things got underway. For more and for a little video of me talking about VAMPED, check out Kepler's teen blog The Book Bind. For a direct link to the write-up, click here.




1- Kepler's!
2- The very cute table they set up. You can just barely see the skull armbands, one of which I had to buy, of course.
3- From L to R: my awesome authors Crystal Jordan (UNTAMED) and Diana Orgain (BUNDLE OF TROUBLE) then me. No, Crys and I didn't arrange to be dressed nearly identically. I had to remove my black jacket so we wouldn't be mistaken for twins.
4- Me and Angela Mann from Kepler's, who set everything up and was so amazingly knowledgeable about teen fiction.
I was awed to have been signing at Kepler's, where Jeff Kinney of the Wimpy Kid books had just been the week before. In fact, there were still a few signed copies in the store, so I had to buy one of the new books for my son, who's a HUGE fan. In case anyone is interested, Kepler's has some signed copies of VAMPED as well! Michael Chabon was appearing at the store later that same day. I missed him by just hours because I had to be over in Los Gatos later that evening. Bummer.
Stay tuned for more pics as the week goes on and I find time to upload and post.
