PNBA & Mortal Coils
Earlier this week we went to the Pacific Northwest Booksellers Association convention in Portland. I wish I had more time to hang out. It was a great experience. I saw lots of old, and made plenty of new, friends.The PNBA treats authors like royalty (I had my own fabulous handler!). I signed a ton of Mortal Coils galleys which were then given away at a huge dinner for the attending booksellers and librarians.
At this“Feast of Authors” they wined and dined us first and then had us spend about twenty minutes at each booksellers’ table talking about ourselves and our upcoming books (and what author doesn’t want to talk about themselves and their books?!).
Very cool.
Please invite me back next year PNBA!

All those 200-odd galleys seen in the picture are gone, btw. It was very popular.
Wow, looks like a nice event indeed. Wish I could've had a copy of your book to discuss it for my exam, but oh well, I'll wait till February!
Must've been a good time you had there!
How come you don't smile in that picture?
He's not smiling 'cause he had to sit next to this dork--->
That was indeed a fun gig. Wish we could have chatted more. I'm looking forward to reading Mortal Coils.
Hey Eric I'm a big fan of your Halo books
Yeah, you look seriously not thrilled.
Did your handler tell you to sit for the judge and you didn't so no liver treat?
(When you said handler, my brain went immediately to dog shows and, yeah.... *laughs*)
That sounds like a very interesting convention. I'm all for independent book stores. It's good to see they're still holding their own.
Legionaru – exam?
Adjustantreflex – it was a long day for me. : ) teetering on the edge of exhaustion there.
Jamie ford- got your book on my to-read pile, too. Looking forward to it!
Jake – Hey back at ya!
Nikoda – see above about me being tired. Day started at 4 AM– travel to Portland–then being charming for hundred of peoples... what you see is all that’s left :/ I’m not actually sure what state the indies are in these days, but I do what I can to help them out.
I'm just throwing this out as a suggestion Eric. If that's the face your going to give at a book signing, never even think about writing a child's story.
How were you selected? Part of a writer's guild or a coalition of publishers?
Only one speed – heh. It’s the face I got to work with man :)
How was I selected? They asked for me. No clue why.
