RWA Literacy Signing Pictures
Fair warning: I spent half of the RWA Literacy Signing taking pictures for Jane (which you can see on Blog Nationals) and the other half of the time squealing and spitting out erudite phrases such as "Omg I love your books!"
I was trying to get a picture of the utterly ABSURD line to get into the Literacy Signing, but mine showed up way too dark. I dropped into line about 45 minutes ahead of time, and by the time the doors opened, the queue was six layers deep and several, several hundred people thick. It had to be seen to be believed. When the doors opened, people RAN (I kid you not, there was running in high heels involved) to get to their favorite authors.
That being said, I probably sprinted over to Marjorie Liu's table to get her signed copy of her newest book, THE WILD ROAD. She was so soft-spoken and lovely that I admit, I couldn't think of a thing to say to her. I just babbled about wanting to take her picture and then scurried away with the book. I am a bad fangirl.
Gena Showalter signing the VERY LAST copy of her newest Alien Huntress book. I absolutely love these and they're totally sexy.
Sherry Thomas signs copies of her new release, DELICIOUS (which totally was). I loved this book and gushed about it to her. She just looked uncomfortable at my simpering but did her best to put me at ease. ;)
Roxanne St. Claire is a fellow Pocket author and one of the nicest women I met at the conference. She always looked like she was having fun (and she won a Rita last year!).
Another picture of the ever-adorable Nalini Singh (who is a wild woman on the dance-floor, I hear).
Nora Roberts had the biggest line there. I'm not kidding, it was utterly enormous and hugely intimidating. I did not stand in line for a book, because there were fangirls with a LOT more patience than me. Plus, if I stood in line, I wouldn't have gotten to run around for the rest of the time, her line was that long. So you get a side-shot from far away.
More pictures later!
