A Day Filled With Awesome!

Tonight was the gorgeous (her hair color is wicked cool in person!) Lisa Mantchev's book launch at the University Bookstore in Seattle. Lisa did a reading, a Q & A session, had cupcakes, and signed books for two hours.

See? That's me with Lisa (a fellow 2009 Deb, by the way)... And today, of all days, she got the news that her debut EYES LIKE STARS went into its second printing. **SECOND PRINTING** That is HUGE!!!
I also got to see Sarah again...

She made me hold this sign. (This one's for you, Khy...)

AND...I was asked for my autograph. Okay, seriously??? MY? AUTOGRAPH!?!? (I should've been worried that I was being Punk'd)
But since it was my first time being asked, that was exactly how I signed it (I'm clever like that)...
I also got to meet (and by meet, I mean intrude on) Team Seattle and author Liz Gallagher (THE OPPOSITE OF INVISIBLE).

You know, just another day in the life of a jet-setting author. Yeah, right...

Oh my gosh, you are SO lucky, Kimberly! I really want to meet Lisa. Washington clearly seems like the place to be (aside from NYC). And you met *Liz Gallagher*?? I'm dying of envy here! Wow!

You are flipping adorable! You know, in a serious writer kind of way.
You were totally not intruding! And even if you were, none of us TS'ers have anything resembling human manners anyway. :P It was great seeing you again!
