Recap of Last Night’s Charlaine Harris Book Signing in Mississippi… by Lisa!

By 3 Comments

Look what I just received in my email today!! Fellow reader and Charlaine Harris enthusiast, Lisa, just sent me a quick Q&A recap of last night’s book signing!

“Went to Q&A and book signing last night.  She is very personable, funny, etc.  Of course, I knew she would being a Southern lady (LOL).  I am typing up some of the Q&As to share with my bookclub.  I would be happy to forward to you if you would like to share with your readers as well.”

Heck yah!! Thank you SO much Lisa. I love inside news and upcoming series tidbits, and this certainly had me smiling. And pictures, too!! I admit, I still have to read Deadlocked (the latest in the Sookie Stackhouse series), and I’m getting all sorts of feedback on it. Some people happy, some people… not so much. Eeeeeep!! I’m scared of what that means, considering how the last book ended. read more

“Okay. this is a good one. I was on my way down in the elevator to go to dinner and saw this woman in this amazing coat. So i said, “I love your coat.” and then I saw here face and said “you’re Nalini Singh!” it was a star struck moment. Sigh.” (Caroline & Nalini)
