Happy Halloween! So, hey! I have a ghost story for ya… (my trip to the RT Book Lovers Convention 2015 – Recap Part 3…)

October 31, 2017 By Maryse 6 Comments

My BFF Sherry, Me, author J.B. Salsbury & her BFF Evelyn! J.B. & Evelyn chickened out! πŸ˜›

It’s true. A real life one. One that is long overdue to be told, in fact (you’ll see part one and part two of that author signing trip here – part 2 gets spookier πŸ˜‰ ), but it’s part three (THIS post) that had the real spook-factor.

The evidence, if you will. Now of course, there will be some non-believers and skeptics that say “WHAT?? I don’t believe you and that photo shows nothing!!” but the fact that I caught something that I saw with my own eyes? I KNOW I had my own ghostly encounter at the Adolphus Hotel in Dallas Texas. And it was awesome! read more

Reader Confession – That time Maryse almost killed Keri Arthur…

June 14, 2017 By Maryse 5 Comments

Okay yeah, this t-shirt is totally apropos, considering this post. πŸ˜‰
Er… I mean tripped… TRIPPED. eeeeeeep!!!! Still though… almost just as bad, and OMG I’ve been thinking of it as “killed” (tongue-in-cheek, mind you), since that very day. ;)Did I ever tell you about that time, when I almost tripped/killed the VERY popular author named Keri Arthur at an integral moment in her life? I think it’s time I told you. But keep in mind, this happened back in 2009 (when I was BRAND SPANKING NEW to the book world). I’ve kept it a secret for years (and years), and I was mortified.

P.S. I still am. Oh yes. I hope she doesn’t read this, because I’m worried she’s still fuming.

Okay, so… this one time… I went to the MEGA RT Book Lovers Convention and it was my VERY first book signing EVER. I had JUST gotten back into hard core reading because of Twilight, and had JUST started my blog, and it just so happened that RT was in Orlando that year, so close to me and just a few months after I went live with my blog.

It was KISMET! I was meant to become a part of the book world, and here was my chance to meet my very favorites and LEARN LEARN LEARN!!!! read more

My trip to the RT Book Lovers Convention 2015 – Recap Part 2… The Ghost Story.

May 28, 2015 By Maryse 16 Comments

Me and Sherry, sneaking up to the 19th floor of the Adolphus hotel (the HAUNTED floor).

For those of you that haven’t read part #1 yet, here it is. πŸ˜€ AND!!! Here is my RT 2015 Book Lovers Convention photo album (so far). I just received Sherry’s SD card in the mail, so there’ll be more soon…

And for those of you wanting to know more…

Dallas (and #RT15) rocked!!! We did SO much in the 4 days we were there, from meeting and hanging out with authors, to discovering a little bit of Dallas (at least within our walking vicinity). And we had so many adventures!! read more

My trip to the RT Book Lovers Convention 2015 – Recap Part 1…

May 24, 2015 By Maryse 11 Comments

Maryse, Sherry, Willow & Tarryn at the Lana Del Rey concert at the Red Rocks Amphitheater. (Thank you Sherry, for the photo!!) πŸ˜€

GAH!!! It’s been exactly one week, since one of my favorite weeks ever, and I’m STILL reminiscing my heart out. Telling my friends, my aunt, my mom, you guys… Bits and pieces of my most cherished memories and hilarities that I’m scattering here, there and everywhere! I keep finding myself saying… “Oh!! This one time… blah blah blah…” and then I hear, “You already told me that one, Maryse.” Right. But there’s plenty I haven’t told some, so I’m going to collect all of my memories right here! read more

This one time, at Book Bash… Part 2 (2014 Edition)

July 20, 2014 By Maryse 9 Comments

Cover model Paul Marron and Maryse (that’s me!!) at Book Bash! πŸ˜€

You guys! There’s more!! More memories keep coming to us, and since I have a bunch more awesome photos to post, I thought I’d add some funny stuff, here. πŸ˜‰Β Part TWO (this part), AND part 3 (which is all about Angstfest – coming next). Don’t forget to check out part one (if you missed it) —>Β This one time, at Book Bash… 2014 Edition!

Okay, so I’ll start up the “memories” again!

This one time, at Book Bash, after Angstfest, as many were sleeping, “someone” (let’s call them a brat!!!) pulled the fire alarm, forcing many to evacuate their floor. GAH!Β But in the process, I got to meet a fun group of girls in the lobby, and while most grabbed their necessities (you know… purse, ID, keys), what made me laugh is what “Sharon” considered her most important necessity. That’s right. She SAVED HER BOOKS!!! LOL!!! read more
