Seven authors walk into a mall

[pbray]

Saturday's signing was a success any way you measure it. A fun crowd of fellow authors, wonderfully supportive and enthusiastic crew from Waldenbooks, we sold a respectable number of books, raised money for a good cause and then most of us got to hang out at the Lost Dog afterwards.


April Steenburgh (store manager) plus S.C. Butler, Anton Strout, Joshua Palmatier, Jackie Kessler, Barbara Campbell, Patricia Bray and Laura Anne Gilman.

Note the unintentionally hilarious arrangement as April is on the New Age side, while Joshua and I are firmly classified as Young Adults.



And in the center ring, untamed authors


One lizard to rule them all!


Zombies like brains (mmm, tasty)




And if you couldn't make it to the signing, fireun has signed stock from all of us, just hop over to her LJ and comment with your wishlist.

Quite a few shots of my backside there. Gulp.

[lagilman]

the really amusing thing about the double-zombie photo is that she didn't know I was behind her...

If this had been a real attack, I would have been toast. Or perhaps brain pate on toast.

Plus that shot where Josh is staring intently at our backs... I assume he was planning to place a dagger in one of us.

Josh looks quite relaxed for someone being attacked by zombies.

[pbray.livejournal.com]

He's quite used to it, and after the attack we nearly always remember to rinse off the brain and stick it back in his skull. Nearly always.

But what's funnier is I had no idea I was also being devoured....

Well, yes, I wanted your customers. *grin*

[scbutler.livejournal.com]

I had the coveted cash by-the-cash-register spot. There was no stopping me.

Better than Self Help....

[elven-wolf.livejournal.com]

Hahaha, too much fun.

[libwitch.livejournal.com]

I heard there were many shots of your butt. April is very confused, yet amused, by this.

[libwitch.livejournal.com]

FINE. Next time there is a book signing in the store, I will make sure I am there, and stick you in romance. HAH.

[fireun.livejournal.com]

are you implying we have some manner of torrid affair?

[scbutler.livejournal.com]

Well, my nickname in highschool was Buts.

[pbray.livejournal.com]

Well we did have Menage a Trois after the signing was over....

[pbray.livejournal.com]

It was. And this is why group signings rock (versus solo author events).

ANOTHER AFFAIR ACCUSATION? OH NOES?
