Authors and bloggers and eels, oh my!

So, Friday night I got no sleep. None. Not one measly hour. Blame nerves, blame excitement, blame Assassins Creed II and the eight-ish cans of Mt. Dew that I consumed before bed, but last night, this was me:



















So I was kinda tired come Saturday morning. (I almost fell asleep in my eggs.) But it didn't matter, because that afternoon, I went to Borders to meet three awesome people. Kristi (The Story Siren), Chelsea (The Page Flipper), and Susan (Waste Paper Prose). They are all troopers who drove through the Snowpocalypse to see little ol' me.

They are also troopers for going to a sushi place, and watching in horror as a whole eel was brought out. Pictures were taken of said eel, though I do not have them. They might pop up on Chelsea, Susan, or Kristi's blogs. Try not to be horrified.

Then we went to Borders for my first signing, and many pictures were taken, despite my attempts to hide. (Pics were taken by the lovely and talented Susan of Waste Paper Prose. Thanks, Susan!)


































































































Yes, I am well aware that I have chipmunk cheeks, and that I squint. Can't help it, I'm Asain, lol! But we met lovely Tenners Kelly Creagh and Jessica Leader, and there was a fairly large turnout, much more than I expected. So I was happy, and I got to meet so many cool people, always a big plus. (Also, I'm sure my Mt. Dew addiction will show up on someone's blog, so I don't need to mention it here.)

Okay, fine. Here's a Mt. Dew picture.



















So, thank you everyone who came, who struggled through waist-deep snow to see me, who braved the evil eel sushi and weird Mt. Dew pictures. Y'all are my heroes. Thanks again.

And then I went home and did this:

Signing tomorrow (AAGH!)

First, an apology. Sort of. My schedule has been extremely hectic of late, and the frequency of my blog posts are suffering because of it. I WANT to post, but at the end of the day all my writing juices have been sucked dry and all I want to do is curl up and play Assassin's Creed II till my eyeballs rot out.
















Will try to be better in the future.

Second, my first signing is TOMORROW (Aaaaaah!). So if you want to drop by the Louisville Hurstbourne Borders and watch an author in full panic mode--no, bad author!--I mean listen to me read a bit of Iron King and then sign some books, feel free to drop in. That will be tomorrow at Borders on 2520 S. Hurstbourne Gem Lane, Louisville Ky 40220, from 6-8 pm.

And bring smelling salts. Just in case.
