Last night, I had a wonderful time at the University Book Store in Seattle.  Traffic made me a few minutes late to the event, but everyone was kind and patient about the delay.  They even put up with my rather 'mush mouthed' reading as a swollen lip from a stupid mishap earlier in the day had me mispronouncing my own text!  Kestrel won the door prize basket, and went off with a couple of books, candles, tea, a book mark and a few other goodies.

Today at 6 I'll be at the Barnes and Noble store in Olympia on Black Lake Boulevard.  I'll be reading from The Inheritance and signing books afterwards.  I always have a good time there, and yes, I'll be bringing a door prize basket!  Bring a Barnes and Noble receipt as your entry form!  It does not have to be for the purchase of my book; any receipt can go in the basket. It's my small way of thanking stores that invite authors in for events.
