More tales from the road
So I spent most of today hanging around the Chicago airport where I saw a lot of people, including two priests, a nun, and a rabbi. That's when I turned to the woman next to me and said, "if they all walk into a bar I'm going to lose it."
Then I really did lose it because I went to the Hudson Bookstore to see if they had my books.
Let me tell you something: Every author wants to see his or her books in an airport shop, but very, very few ever do, and they're usually already bestsellers. But newbies like me keep looking, always thinking today may be the day.
Do you know what day today was???
Well, it wasn't the day I saw my books in an airport, but for some reason I gave the salesgirl my name and she checked the computer, and GUESS WHAT?????
They had had a bunch of Love You Kill Yous.
And they'd SOLD them all!
At the AIRPORT!
In other news, if the annoying dude from "He's just not that into you" gets to be on Celebrity Poker, then shouldn't I?
Come on Celebrity Poker people--I write card-themed books! I love this show! I am a terrible poker player who is prone to bizarre verbal outbursts when under pressure! Celebrity Poker was made for me!
Shuffle up and deal!

Oh my gosh! You were in Chicago! Why didn't anyone know, of course anyone being me! Finished "I'd tell you I love you..." last week and it was a riot!! Thanks for writing a great young adult book and PLEASE let us know where you are going to be! Seriously, how do we find out, and when I say we, I just mean me but whatever.
Thanks
