Never really meet anyone famous walking down the street, though I've meet a few big authors.
Christopher Paolini is one. He's swell.
Judy Blue was cool too. It was funny because the guy introducing her didn't announce one of her books properly and she knew that I knew. It was pretty cool.
Briefly met Bruce Coville (which was unexpected)
Katerine Patterson and Chris Van Allsburg.
And Mitali Perkins who wrote Monsoon Summer, which is a great book. She was funny.
Patrick Jones, that was really cool. I've been wanting to meet him for ages, librarians turned author
Stephenie Meyer: she was really funny!
Launne Rice: she was great and super nice!
Jane O'Conner author of the FANCY NANCY books!
Meg Cabot, who was wicked wicked funny and talks just like she writes.
BEA: Lisa Ann Sandell, who wrote the amazing book Song of the Sparrow and while I was chatting with her and telling her we were friends on myspace, Aimee Friedman was right there, so I talked with her, and then Scott Westerfeld and Rachel Cohn walked by.
It was AMAZING! I was on high for the rest of the day.
I also briefly talked with Melissa de la Cruz and even more briefly with David Levithan and Libba Bray and upcoming Tiffany Trent.
Authors met at ALA: Judy Blume (Again, but this time she signed a book for me!!!!) Laurie Halse Anderson, Lois Lowery, Alyson Noel, Walter Dean Myers, Ellen Wittenger, David Almond, E Lockheart, and John Green
Jennifer Lynn Barnes: she was sweet and funny and talked a lot about writing and her "15 year old girl" qualities.
JUST MET: Lisa Barham: wicked nice. we had fun chatting. she knows so much about the fashion and entertainment world.
Thanks for the add, I would like to tell you about my new book:
The Tear Collector;
Fans of Twilight, the Vampire Diaries, and other vampire books should prepare for a new kind of vampire—one that feeds off of tears instead of blood. Descended from an ancient line of creatures that gain their energy from human tears, I depend on human sorrow to live. My job as a grief counselor at the hospital provides me with perfect cover to keep this secret safe, and any time a friend needs a shoulder to cry on, I'm there. Only I've grown tired of living a lie and I wants to live like a human, especially now that I've found someone worth fighting for.
Happy Teen Read Week; read beyond reality with The Tear Collector ("an
interesting twist on the popular vampire genre, and readers will be caught up
in Cass's difficult dilemma of choosing between love or family." – Booklist)
Thanks for the friendship! I've written a comic that is competing on Zuda this month, and I'm working hard at becoming Zuda (DC Comics') first female lead to win the competition. If you want a shot at one of two Pat's or Geno's gift certificates, while helping to raise money for the Police Survivor's Fund, then read and follow the strip below. Clicking on the strip will bring you right to the Zuda page. Thanks for your support!
