My One True Love...
Tomorrow I'll be at ComicCon in San Diego at the Hachette Books booth signing FREE copies of My Forbidden Desire starting at 10:00 am. If you're around, please come by. That would be awesome indeed. Since I have an early flight I'll be leaving for a Park N Fly hotel tonight. If I'd had my brain on straight I would have arranged this for Saturday when I wouldn't have to worry about commute traffic. I've flow down and back in a day before, it's a bit tiring, but completely doable.
And, Saturday is, apparently, the cast signing for HBO's True Blood, including my One True Love, Alexander Skarsgard. He plays Eric.
Commiserate with me. This is sad indeed that I will not see him. Sniff. OTOH, I'm hoping my badge will permit me to wander around and look at stuff. Maybe poke my head into a panel or two. The worrywart in me insists on worrying that I won't be able to wander around and I'll be stuck doing nothing until my flight back. It's not easy being a worrywart.
It's getting on to the time when I need to be feeding the boy and figuring out what I'm taking. Laptop? yes, I think so. In case I can't wander. Or maybe not. Maybe it will be too big at PITA to bring. OTOH again, maybe I should because sometimes crowds freak me out and a laptop would be a good thing to hide behind once I'm done with the signing bit. You see my issues? I won't have a place to stash anything like a carry on bag so maybe I'll bring along my RWA bag or my huge green Dell bag just in case there's swag to carry away.
Worry worry worry.
Now watch something remarkable:
Let it all go, Carolyn. It's one freaking day. Bring the damn laptop because it's not heavy, it's named Fang, after Mr. Skarsgard, and bring the green Dell bag because it will scrunch up easily in the laptop bag.
Ahh, yes. Off to cook dinner and then drive to the airport hotel. I will tweet for sure and maybe even blog.

Catching up on a Holiday Weekend
Since I have tomorrow off, I get to sleep in. Yay! I have various bits of news to report, in no particular order.
I've been working on The Next Paranormal and it's going pretty well right now. Some very good ideas starting to gel. It's early days yet, of course.
The RWA National Conference is coming up. If you're going to be in Washington DC on Wednesday July 15, drop by the Marriott for the Literacy Signing. It's for a good cause! Please stop by the J section to keep me from feeling too lonely.
On July 24, I'll be at the Hachette Books booth at Comic Con in San Diego. They're giving away copies of My Forbidden Desire and I'll be there to sign them! If you're going to be there, by all means, come by and get a free signed book. Personally, I'm hoping some of the True Blood folks will be there. I should be able to wander around a bit and see some stuff.
I've given up on the old and creaky Dell laptop and went to the Apple store to buy a 13"MacBook Pro, which I did, only they're out of stock and now I'm just praying mine arrives BEFORE I leave for Nationals because the thought of lugging the current laptop to DC gives me hives. I've committed to Apple and now I'm impatient to make the switch completely and utterly. Everyone cross your fingers for a delivery prior to 7/14 because I have a very early flight.
Twitter has been hellaciously fun lately. Oh my gosh. @barryEisler is being the world's best sport about what is probably the world's most egregious and embarrassing typo ever. By me. I meant to type spill his guts... with respect to the expected conversation I hope to have when I get to have lunch with him due to my winning lunch w/him at Brenda Novak's auction. But what I type was spill his guys... Much hilarity has followed. @VictoriaDahl has been particularly bold, sassy and amusing.
And now I'm off to get some work done before I go to bed.

Head Down for a Few days
Just a quick note to say I'm working on the page proofs for Indiscreet so I have my head down getting through those. Plus too much day job stuff bleeding into my real life and eating up my evenings. Sigh so I am behind in everything now and getting paid less for more work. Should Not Compute. But it does, sadly.
Am also woefully unprepared for RWA in July. However, good news is that I'll be at the Literacy signing July 15 from 5:30 to 7:30 pm so if you're in the DC area, come by!
On July 24 I'll be at the Hachette booth at Comic Con San Diego signing 200 free copies of My Forbidden Desire so if you're there, drop by. When not signing I will be looking for Alexander Skarsgard and all things True Blood related. I'm only there for the day. I'll post better time info when I have it.
