So, last Friday night I lived out a long held dream--
I got to see David Sedaris perform live.
And I laughed for two hours straight.
He is hilarious! A master of observation, seamlessly blending the absurd with the poignant. The theater was packed, the signing lines were long, but it was worth every second of waiting as he just camps out at that table, occasionally taking bites of his dinner, as he chats with every single person, and signs every single book, no matter how long it takes.
Yup, I love him even more now!!
And since the event was in San Diego, we decided to make a weekend of it, and stayed a couple nights in La Jolla, which is a lot like Laguna, except that they have lots of Torrey Pines and we don't.
Anyway, it was one of those awesome, relaxing weekends that you don't want to end, except that it did, and now it's Monday, and I'm working like crazy to catch up . . .
And speaking of catching up, just 15 more days until SHADOWLAND is released and I really hope you can make one (or both!) of these signings!

I can't hardly wait!!!!
Man, I've been waiting FOR-EVER. No pun intended ;)
I wonder, who gets more excited about the release of a book? The author or the fans?
Do the authors get nervous besides excited, leaving the fans to have for room for excitement or do the fans became so obsessive about it that it leaves the author with more possibilities of emotions?
Hard choice.
I hope everything is going well!
Hi Lucia- Hmmm, I def don't have the answer to that, but I can say that I get very excited & nervous, but maybe not as nervous as the reader since I know how the books will all end!
