Signing with cats

I had my signing at Dragon's Lair Comics on Wednesday, and it was a lot of fun. People showed up and bought books, and I didn't even know some of them. I eventually passed signing duties over to Aswan, the store cat. She's much better at this sort of thing than I am.

The signing and a particularly heartwarming piece of fanmail have been the highlights of my writing week. Today the low came in having to bow out of an anthology I had really wanted to be part of, due to having run out of both miracles and chocolate coating.

Next week I'll be in Boston, signing at Pandemonium Books on Thursday. When I come home I get to begin in earnest the final revisions of Dreams. Final until I send it to arcaedia, anyway. But that's final enough for me.

Thank you! That totally made my night. I enjoyed talking to your friend, too.

I love stores with cats. (I'm allergic to them, but I like the 'idea' of cats ;o)

so very glad you had a good time and that it went well. (i feel like an idiot for having missed it. sorry. i was looking forward to seeing you and getting my copies of your books signed.)

Thank you very much for coming to our store and signing with us - and thank you very much for bringing the staff our own cupcakes. We're still still talking about them.

I appreciate you signing the books for my brother - they make their journey to Seattle on Friday.

I hope you find some new miracles and chocolate coating!

And yeah - Aswan is a pro at signings. She's kept a lot of writers and artists company over the years and has even had a book or print signed for her.
