All right, so: This isn't really
Book Expo America. But I like the photograph, so I place it here, and while I'm at it, I invite you to join me at the real and actual BEA, Javits Center, New York City, on Wednesday, May 25th, where I'm privileged to be appearing at two events:
YOU ARE MY ONLY Book Signing: 10 AM (author autographing area)
AUTHOR TEA: 3 PM
Perhaps our paths will cross? I can't promise you a Googer's Cake or Thing. But I can promise you conversation, and maybe the Famous Elizabeth Law will walk by and sing a tune in your direction, or maybe Egmont USA's Katie Halata or Greg Ferguson or Mary Albi or Doug Pocock or Rob Guzman will lay down some ink for you. Or maybe Nico Medina will at last wear a costume on my behalf.
A girl can dream.
Big thanks to Florinda. She knows what for.
I made my way up from a client meeting on Wall Street to Park Avenue yesterday, where the always-wonderful Egmont USA troupe welcomed me in, bling and all. You throw your arms around these people when you see them. You talk travels, sun, book jackets, dreams, classes taught and classes taken, Mickey Mouse, impersonations, architecture, radical movie flops, the delicate matter of the comma. You go home feeling warmed, alive, like books still matter, after all. That's Lawsy and me, in the final picture, aligning our bedazzling silver trim.
I found myself in Orlando at the ALAN convention; I also found co-Egmont USA authors James Lecesne (Virgin Territory) and Tricia Rayburn (Siren). Egmont USA's Katie Halata, who coordinated our days so spectacularly, is snapping this photo. I didn't know what to expect of ALAN; this was my first time there. But what I found were teachers who—mostly on their own dime, taking their own vacation days—had carved out time to learn about new stories and where they come from. There is a powerful commitment to our young out there; I felt the heat and passion of it through the day and over the course of the dinner that Katie hosted—a dinner that included such guests as Matt Skillen, Susan Groenke, Melanie Hundley, Shannon Collins, Steve Bickmore, and incoming ALAN president, Wendy Glenn.
ALAN is a class act. I was proud and happy to be there.
I will be at BEA and I am determined to meet you in person this year after just missing you last year.
It's a date!! And look at how much time I have between things. :)
Some day I will go to BEA. And I will bring a HUGE handbag.
Oh to be there...sigh.
Someday, I hope.
Someday, Q, you will be on my team for real, and someday, Becca. Someday.
Wish I could be there!!!
Have a wonderful time, Beth! It sounds amazing! Lucky, lucky folks who will be there and get to meet you! (Love the photo, too.)
I am SO glad the rumors were true, and I don't intend to miss meeting you! (Can I bring a couple of your other books and ask you to sign them too?)
I wish I could be there.
oh well, that the day I won't be at BEA.
Have a great time! (Wonderful photo)
I will be there and I hope to see you! What's an author tea? I want tea.
Yay - I'm so glad you will be there and shining in person!
Wish I could be there to cheer for you in person, but I have to work lunch rush at Googer's, dangit.
I'll be there in spirit - have a fabulous time!!
XO
