The first few days I was flying solo - I didn't know anybody and I arrived way too early. Heather and her wife invited me to have a beer on Monday afternoon and then the love began! I got to meet other BSB authors and authors I get tongue-tied around (Georgia Beers, Lynn Ames are a few prime examples). It was great! I had my first reading on Wednesday and I was nervous and it showed. Thursday was sex day and I had to follow the fabulous Dena Hankins who was extremely theatrical delivering her reading. I just looked at her and said really? because reading after her is like reading after Melissa Brayden or Radclyffe. I didn't stand a chance! I did okay though. By Saturday's reading I was a pro! Well, in my head I was.
The cool thing about the readings and the book signings after was that I got to talk to women who were either excited to start Jolt or who had already read it. That's amazing! My baby! I might have to break into a Sally Field moment - they like me! they really like me! Best. Feeling. Ever!
Made some great friends on this trip and I'm looking forward to seeing them all again. Fantastic, supportive women and I hugged them every chance I got.
