Just a quick Lexington update for tonight because there were some questions. There'll be vampire prom themed stuff going on from 5-7pm at Joseph-Beth. They have games, contests, and other fun things--and the prizes are amazing! Then, my event will start at 7pm, and that's when I'll read, talk, and sign until whenever.

Hope that helps! See you there.

Those following me on Twitter and Facebook will know that my morning started off with me being convinced I was at O'Hare airport (though I was at Detroit) and then discovering that my water bottle had leaked inside my laptop bag. Seeing as I'm blogging from said laptop, it seems there was no damage done. I don't think asking why any sane person would actually put a water bottle in their laptop bag is really important right now.

Proof came that I really wasn't at O'Hare when I landed there an hour

This is going to be a short post because I'm pretty exhausted and not feeling too hot, so sleep is probably more important than my wit and charm tonight. We'll see.

After my fun evening with the family in Kalamazoo, I had to fly out this morning to Detroit. At the Kalamazoo airport, I received an important passive-aggressive message from the airport's one cafe:





You guys. Do NOT bug them if that machine won't dispense your Snickers bar, okay?

Yesterday was, to date, the craziest day so far on this tour. I was up at 4:30am in Denver to catch a flight to Houston. Upon landing, I went promptly to a Barnes & Noble signing in the Woodlands (I had the sense to flat iron before leaving the hotel this time). I'm told there were 220 people there, but I had no sense of that. I'm horrible at numbers. All I know is that we had very strict time limits on how long I could stay because we had to take off to Austin that same afternoon. I remember be

I think I'm becoming a travel snob. Little airport things are starting to annoy me, like $7 turkey sandwiches and people who don't understand the TSA bin system. Admittedly, I'm usually at airports pretty early, running on little sleep because I was up too late blogging about my adventures to the world. Today was no exception. I was so tired I nearly walked off without my boarding pass after check-in, proving Lili Saintcrow right in thinking I really do need someone to keep me out of trouble.

I w

This morning found Lili Saintcrow and I trading southern California for northern California. Despite some heavy traffic while going to LAX, we ended up getting to the airport in plenty of time, which initially seemed exciting. I have this 'priority pass' card I got with a credit card that gives me access to cool airport lounges, even if I'm not flying the airline who owns it. We figured we'd use said card to hang out in a lounge while waiting for our flight.

As it turned out, though, our flight t

Well, as you might tell from my abbreviated entries here lately, things have been kind of crazy. It's hard to believe that Blood Promise only released yesterday because it seems like a million things have happened since then. The day just seemed to run away with me. I got up and found myself flooded with BP-related emails, then it was out the door to run errands and go to my two signings in Seattle. Among my errands were what could either be considered a brilliant idea or the worst one ever: a

Many thanks to everyone who came out to the Seattle launches yesterday. Turnout was AMAZING at both, and I really, really appreciate the support.

For now, I'm off to catch a flight to Los Angeles with the fab Lili Saintcrow. We'll be signing at the Upland Library today at 4pm. Details on my website, as always. If you're in LA, I hope you'll come by and say hi!

More later.

Well, kind of. It's not technically 8/25 where I live, and in places where it is 8/25 in the US, you can't really go out and buy BP. But you know what I mean. And hey, in what, 9 more hours? You should be able to go get it at your local bookstore (or Target or Walmart). Or maybe it'll show up in the mail. Or maybe the copy you, ahem, got two weeks ago and have already read will just be prominently displayed on your shelf.

Regardless, thanks very much to everyone for their support! I hope you lik
