Me This Week

October 18th, 2010

Just had an awesome meal at Green Goddess in New Orleans, fuel for my upcoming crazy week of touring. Thanks to everyone who came out at the Texas Book Festival, both for me and the ZvU event.

I am now galavanting across the south. See me at the cities below or in Cincinatti, Michigan, Chicago, Salt Lake City, and points beyond. Click Appearances in the menu above for more.

Just got the news that Behemoth debuted at #5 on the New York Times bestseller list. And I have all of YOU to thanks for that!

Now I must sleep!

    Do you know if there will be any other authors with you doing signings on the 23rd in Raleigh? I understand that this is the tour to promote Behemoth but I’ll be kicking myself if I don’t make sure I shouldn’t bring any other books along.

    I wish you were coming to the Joseph Beth in cleveland. However I may just have to make the 4 hour drive to come see you! You’re one of my favorite authors and I’m always telling people to read your books!

    scott i really really wanted to come to your signing in austin but my mom said that is wasnt worth it driving 3 hours just to get a few books signed i tried to get her to let me but she then reminded me that they control my gas money since i dont have a job andthat they are paying for my car insurance as well.

    i hope you come to texas again :(

    Scott,
    I am going to go to the thingy in Alpharetta and I was wondering if there is a limit to how many books I can get signed? Like do I have to buy a book to get one signed or something like that?

    I’m here, Misty. I’m doing the baking tomorrow morning. Scott never said what he’d like the most. Brownies? Lemon cheese bars? Fresh apple cake? Gingerbread?

    I get to see Scott tomorrow! lalalalal Happy Dance!!!!!!!!

    So, Mr. Scott Westerfeld. What would you like me to bake up for you? I did the baking for the SCBWI conference this past week and everybody loved my goodies!

    NooooOOooooooOoo! HOW did I not realize you were going to be in BIRMINGHAM TODAY?! I’m in Mobile, it’s only a few hours away! I’d have totally skipped out on school and work for that signing! Now I’m stuck at work and can’t go! Shoot. Wish I could’ve gone to the New Orleans visit now. :( Ah well, you’ll have to tour again for this series. I’ll get you next time (so tempted to add, “my pretty,” but that feels weird.)

    Scott and Justine,

    I loved, loved, loved meeting y’all today! Hope your flight to Georgia is smooth and you get to breathe for a little bit. :)

    You totally made Natalie’s birthday the best one ever! How can we ever top that one? She was ‘bubbly’ all the way home! But then, so was I!

    Scott,

    I can’t tell you how great it was to meet you today! Sorry I was so quiet. I was in awe. Also, I find it so much easier to communicate with you on here than it was in person. Though I do suppose I could’ve told you I’ve followed this blog since 6th grade and that my Username was “The OTHER Tally Youngblood (be afraid…) You get the idea. Just Thanks. So much. I have shown everyone I’ve met in the last hour the Behemoth copy you signed for me. If you want the pictures I took, I guess I could somehow send them to you. Thanks again! The lemon bars were good! Stay safe in your travels! Watch out for terrorists and all that! Be sure to come back and see us again! THANK YOU!
    :D :D :D :D (I’m sure Jackie and Kailey would say the same.)

    It looks like I’m going to be able to see you in Cincinnati or KY. Do I have to buy anything at either of these to get something signed, and is there a limit on how much stuff I can get signed? thanksss ^^

    Hey, thanks to all you who came today. That was a blast, and it was much bigger than I thought, given the short notice. Thanks especially to Natalie for having a birthday so that I could convince my publicist to carve me out some time in Birmingham.

    And the lemon cookies and pecan butter things are GOOD.

    I wonder if you Scottie will someday show up in Scandinavia? That’d be so totally awesome.

    Any plans coming up here north?
