Gearing up for the ALA

[frostokovich]

The ALA (American Library Association) is meeting in Philadelphia this weekend.  I will be on hand, along with Holly Black and others, to sign copies of the YA anthology, Magic in the Mirrorstone, as well as the first-seen copies of my novel, Shadowbridge.  I've no idea if there are librarians tracking any of this blogosphere stuff, but if so,

I'm a librarian and tracking this blogosphere stuff, but sadly not coming to ALA Mid-Winter.

By the way, until recently I was a co-worker of another librarian you know, named William Boatman.

Have fun at the conf and be nice to all those librarians! ;-)

Mr. Boatman

Yow, small separation. He's a great cellist, too. I haven't heard from him for a few years, but he's a wonderful person.

And I promise not to harm any librarians this weekend. After all, they stood up to Homely Security...which is more than I can say for the Democrats.

Sorry, I'm closer to Detroit! Otherwise I would. :)

Well, it's not like I expect EVERY person to come to Philly for this. Besides, I'm signing alongside Holly Black, which means there will be a line out the door for her, and I'll be sitting there, meekly going "I could sign somefin' too if you'd like."

How'd it go, then?

ALA with Holly

It went superbly. Fortunately, the Spiderwick books are from Simon & Schuster, so that crowd had already had their "Quality Time with Holly"by the time she sat down with me. Signed and handed out a few dozen copies of Shadowbridge. Dozens more of "Magic in the Mirrorstone". Got interviewed on camera. Did NOT spew up during said interview. Hung out with mystery writers. Learned all about the Junior Library Guild. And arrived home in one piece without having to milk the rat (and we all know how painful that can be).
