Many members of the Class of 2k11 are here in New York for BEA and we have had such an AWESOME time! As a group we've been chatting online together for almost a year now, plotting and planning and sharing our path to publication, but this is the first time that most of us have had a chance to meet in real life. And it has been WONDERFUL.
We did an event for a 7th grade class at Seward Park Library in the morning and then a small event at Grand Central Library in the afternoon. Here's a shot from last night of an event we had at Books of Wonder:
And here's the audience for Books of Wonder (if you see yourself - THANK YOU for coming!! - There were more people a bit later too.)
And after our readings -- authors signing new books and chatting with fans:
Since my book hasn't released yet this is the first time I have done any public events. It's wonderful to see and meet the readers, but the reading out loud part is still a bit nerve-wracking!!
Today we're headed for Le Poisson Rouge for humorous readings of our books (which I think means we get roasted...which should be pretty hilarious) and then a final event at The Voracious Reader in Larchmont (I won't be at this event.) THANK YOU to all who have visited with us and come to events and for your interest in our books. It's back to the real world tomorrow -- which means doing laundry. :-)
