Saturday, July 24th was one fun day (except for the trouble with our rental car, which I won’t dare delve into). At noon, I met with JT Dutton, the author of Freaked and Stranded, and a group of awesome bloggers for lunch at TGI Friday’s. Most of us ordered chicken fingers, in case you were wondering. We sat around and chatted about books, blogging, conferences, and the literary world in general. Such a blast! Then we went across the street for the signing at Border’s, where I was giddy to see the event area display, which was absolutely gorgeous.
JT Dutton and I sat back while our trailers played, then introduced our books. We both read a chapter for the crowd, which included some family and friends, plus two more awesome bloggers. And then we answered questions, offered up some candy (because chocolate makes everything better), and pulled names for prizes (gift cards for Border’s, because books make everything better too), and signed books for all the cool people who came out to support us.
Plus, of course, we took some pictures . . .
The events area. Gorgeous! Border’s did an amazing job.

Of course, I had to get one of me and my books!
But, I’m ticked because I didn’t get a picture with Heather.
After the signing, I spent the evening with my family. Here I am with cousins Julie and Kathryn.
Thankfully, the rental car debacle had been resolved by this point!
A huge thanks to everyone who came out to support me and JT.
And also to Border’s for making the day so wonderful!
