More on Salt Lake City, more good news, anti-rumors
I wrote yesterday on the blog that we’d talk about the individual signings here, then talk about more current stuff, so you guys can get both what we did on the road and what we’re currently doing. First, find below the signing stuff:
A lot of firsts at the Salt Lake city signing. Most pairs of sisters at a signing ever. Most babies. On the baby front we got to be the first day home event for baby, Katherine. Her parents brought her baby book and under what I did my first day home was something like, “Went to a book signing so Mommy could get her books signed by Laurell K. Hamilton.” I signed underneath and wished her well. She was so tiny, and had that incredibly soft newborn hair.
The energy was very good at the signing. No one got grumpy standing in line and it was just really nice folks.
Oh, and the Utah Humane Society was there and actually adopted a dog to a family. A little Pappillion went home with his forever family.
Good signing, nice people, and we saved a life. A pretty good night, eh?
Now, for the current, this is what we’re doing today stuff:
I must have been really tired yesterday. I can’t believe I wrote, not to shabby, about being # 2 on the New York Times list with A LICK OF FROST. Let’s try that again. Wow! Really cool. There, that’s better. To add to the good news, here are the other lists. Publisher’s Weekly — #2. USA Today — #6. Barnes & Noble — #2. Borders — #3. Booksense — #12.
I knew that A LICK OF FROST was the book I wanted to write. It was very satisfying for me as a writer. I guess you guys as readers agree. Which is even better.
Oh, and for the rumor mill, or as an anti-rumor mill I will state again, that A LICK OF FROST is soooo not the last Merry book. I stated this just a few blogs ago, but Darla is getting so many people writing in saying that it is the last book, that she requested I reiterate the truth.
The truth is that A LICK OF FROST is not the end. How could it be? Too much still still to do with Merry and her friends. So, no fears, guys, still plenty of Merry books to come. Okay?
