Sweet Secrets book launch party at Norwescon
The powers that be worked to remove any blockages so that my book launch party will be held at Norwescon this year. *happy dance*
How this worked out made me almost fall out of my chair laughing.
Last Friday, I got a call from editordude that he might have to move the launch party because he couldn't get a suite to hold it in. He had contacted 3 people on Norwescon's concom but no luck. I offered my hotel liaison skills to find one for us and he agreed. I had planned on contacting the Hotel staff directly to get us a regular room (with bed removed) on Monday. My last words before we hung up were that I had a greater than 50% chance of getting us a room. The NEXT DAY I get an email from editordude that a room opened up, and it was a 1st Floor Suite. OMG is that a prime location too. So, I hadn't done anything yet, just THINKING about doing something made the hotel behave. ROTFL
And THAT'S why Conflikt doesn't want me to ever stop being their hotel liaison.
More details will be forthcoming.
