The L.A. Times Bookfest
Once again, I could not hold myself back. In spite of the fact that I'm trying to make a mad dash toward the finish line of my book (which is more like a mad crawl, but I digress), I attended the L.A. Times Festival of Books yesterday.
Unfortunately, my usual accomplice (niece Anne) could not attend. Fortunately, friend Laura had a niece Anne who did attend, so I appreciated being able to borrow her for a moment here and there.
Because it's my day to blog at Titlewave, I saved the pics and most of the commentary to posted there. (So go there.)
However, I reserved one picture for here.
I took this at the booth of one of my favorite bookstores (Mysterious Galaxy) because I wanted to pay homage to the power of intention. I remember discovering J.A. Konrath when he did a gonzo booktour from way over here <--- to way over there --->, signing books along the way. (I think it was PBackWriter who quipped that if you could find an unsigned copy of one of his books it would be worth a fortune.) He has a dynamite blog about self-promotion that is worth reading. So, I was pleased to see his books because the space there was so limited. And it reminded me of the importance of believing in yourself. Thanks J. A.

The power of intention. Yes. I signed at the LA Book Fest 5 years ago. It was fun!
I'm glad you went despite my absence. With a little luck (and better anticipation of my govm't obligations), I will make a triumphal return in 2009!
Cheers,
Miss Friday
