Kim reading from Black Magic Sanction

Kim and I

Friday I drove over an hour in bad weather to Ann Arbor from Flint so I could see Kim Harrison. Wow, the place was packed. I was afraid the signing might be cancelled because of the weather or that the signing wouldn't be that busy but holy cow tons of people were there.

The line was super long and guess where I was? Yup pretty much at the end of the line. But that's OK, it was well worth it to get a couple books signed by her plus my husband received some wonderful advice from her husband on how to support a writer and be the husband of a writer. I think my man took it heart. I hope so.

Saturday I mostly lounged, something I never do but I've been feeling a cold coming on and decided to have a brainless day and rest. I spent time with the family playing games and just hanging out and we watched Cirque du Freak: The Vampire's Assistant on DVD. I wasn't impressed.

So this week at Fang-tastic Books is YA week.

Mari Mancusi will be here tomorrow for an interview and book giveaway, Thursday I have a guest blog from Ellen Schreiber author of Vampire Kisses series and the graphic novels Blood Relatives, she'll be offering a book giveaway as well, Friday I have an interview with Jenna Maclaine and a Bound by Sin giveaway (not YA but scheduled before this was YA week), and Saturday I have an interview with Melissa de la Cruz and a giveaway of The Van Alen Legacy the latest of her Blue Bloods Vampire series.
