BEA 2014 recap

I had a great time at BEA 2014 in New York City. It was hectic, crazy, and a lot of fun.

Here are a few photos to share.

My daughter with Neil Patrick Harris

The booth for Spencer Hill Press, my publishing house. (I'm sure there are bookmarks in there somewhere for I WISH, but I can't tell were.)

My author-friend Amanda Brice was signing copies of her book in the RWA Booth...and I spied books by two other author-friends, Deb Marlowe and Bev Pettersen.

Daughter brought home a lot of books this time, but not me.  Just a few, but they are a greatly-prized collection! Also, note the gorgeous, handmade bag by my editor Jessica and the bronze medal that Whisper Falls won for the Moonbeam Awards!

Busy weekend

I am signing ARCs of I Wish today (Thursday at 1pm) at BEA in New York City.

Then it's off to Mississippi. I have another signing Sunday at the Barnes&Noble in Tupelo, 2pm.

There was a Neil Patrick Harris sighting today at BEA; that's my daughter talking to him.
