My first update has nothing to do with writing. It has to do with hotels.
My pal Holly Jacobs and I arrived on Tuesday afternoon. She went to check us in while I waited in the car with all the stuff. (Didn't want to unload the car just to put it in storage.) A few minutes later, she called my cell. The hotel was overbooked for the night and they wanted to bump us to another hotel.
They offered us a terrific deal to move for the night! They paid for our night's stay at the other nice hotel, they gave us CASH money, and they upgraded out room when we checked in yesterday! We got a FANTASTIC room!!! So that all worked out well. (It was a bit of a PITA, what with having to take the subway back to this hotel Tuesday afternoon to meet with friends and stuff, and having to repack and move yesterday mornng, but...totally worth it!)
The lit signing last night went well for me. I sold some books, which is always a good thing. And you're allowed to buy your leftovers for just 25% of the cover price, which is a great deal! So I bought my leftovers. Can't pass that up.
I got to meet Kasey at the signing, so that was fun!
After the signing, the Super party went well. My biggest contribution was standing on a chair to SHUSH everyone when it was time for us to give away a prize. I used to be an elementary teacher, so I can PROJECT my voice and make an excellent attention getter.
We invited Super authors to our room after the party, but only 2 showed up. the rest either got lost or were too tired.
This morning is Janet Evanovich's talk, and I'm REALLY looking forward to that. I'm hoping she's as funny and entertaining in person as she is in her books.
Gotta run, but I'll try to post another update later today. I can't stay too long at the AW gathering because my editor changed our lunch today to dinner tonight, but I'm looking forward to at least popping in for a few minutes before I have to meet her in the lobby.
