Furry Fiesta Mini Wrap-Up
So, despite being sick for one whole day of the convention, I had a good time.
I got to see a lot of my Texas pals, and some friends from other parts of the country, and had a pretty chill time. I don't have any crazy-amazing stories, but it was nice to just hang out, see people, and have one last year in Booze Mama's lovely little bar (she makes a fine dirty martini, by the way).
Also, over the weekend I got a lot of lovely praise about "Summerhill." People seem to be finally getting around to reading and finishing it now that it's been out for around a month, and it's extremely flattering, everything I've been hearing about it. I feel less bad, now, about taking so much time to make sure I was writing a book that was up to my standards instead of just trying to rush it out the door. Hopefully the fans think the same.
Speaking of, the initial launch for "Summerhill" has been my most exciting and most successful so far, by a wide margin. It's a little overwhelming, knowing that people are out there, coming to get their paws on my book, specifically, and not just finding it sitting on a table, picking it up, and taking a chance on it because it seems interesting (though those people are out there, too, and they're no less valid!). I'm just a combination of flattered and humbled by it all, and I love you guys for it.
Now I'm back home in the Bay Area, unwinding for the evening before getting back to the grind. But it was good to get away (even if I had to work for a few days while on vacation, but that's another thing).
