Book Signing!

I had my first solo bookstore signing this weekend, which was tons of fun. I wore the earrings Kristen Painter made for me, for luck! They totally worked. I met some very interesting readers, sold multiple copies to friends from church (yikes!) who hadn't bought it yet, and gave out dozens of cookies. A good time was had by all! It was a busy weekend; we also had a Halloween party to attend. I dressed up as Julia Child, mostly because I had everything I needed for it already. And also because I love her. Here's how it turned out! I know, I wouldn't win any lookalike contests. But I had fun! If you can't make it out, that's a whisk I'm holding up so proudly. And yes, if you look closely, there's a spot on my shirt where I spilled red wine.
This is my favorite part:Do you have any Halloween parties coming up? What costume are you planning?

Online Bookstore Communities

How much do readers really engage in the many online communities and forums currently being offered by Amazon, Borders, and B&N? All three sites present unique opportunities for chatting with other readers and connecting with big-name authors. There's so much going on out there: I, personally, couldn't stay away from B&N.com's current Center Stage forum, where Suzanne Brockmann is hanging out on the boards for an entire week, gabbing and answering questions about her Troubleshooters and just generally being fabulous. I'm also intensely interested in the new initiative Sue Grimshaw, the romance buyer for Borders, announced at the recent RWA conference, which was that a pair of popular blog reviewers (Smart Bitch Sarah and Jane from Dear Author) will be doing a daily blog on the Borders site. Should be interesting, as always, to hear what Sarah and Jane have to say! And I know Amazon's reader forums are active and vibrant.

So where do you hang out online? Ever drop in and visit the bookstores?
