Author Impressions from Book Bash

So I made a semi-scrapbook to take to this event and ended up only putting 36 authors in it. Many of the 83 that were there I had never heard of so......I didn't 'waste' pages in my book for them. In the order they are in my book here are my thoughts upon meeting them:

Kristin Ashley - not a huge fan of her books, but a huge fan of her. She is so tall!!! Super nice & she was sweating as much as I was. I loved that - made her more real to me :)

Katie Ashley - super sweet & nice. She walked the line a couple of times at pre-registration and we had a few laughs over my homemade scrapbook vs. this other semi-professional one we saw. Once again not a big fan of her books, but she is awesome!

Maya Banks - ummmm.......I don't even remember meeting her so that may say something. Either about her or me I'm not sure which???? I do know she had great swag!

Cora Carmack - this girl can talk! Like I mean really talk! This translates to fantastic when you are the one she is talking to, but extremely annoying when you are waiting in line. I loved her & wished I got to hang out more with her outside the event.

Nichole Chase - seemed sweet & I loved her swag that I got for Suddenly Royal because it was a princess wand! Haven't even read her books yet, but she liked my page. Especially liked that I had the cover for 'On Christmas Hill' because she did that one herself.

Nyrae Dawn - when I got to her table no one was there. Crazy! She had a cool new shorter haircut with pink highlights on each side of her face.  She was really nice & laid back. She liked that I knew she writes under a pseudonym. Funny what you can learn on the internet :)

Jillian Dodd - So nice! She liked my scrapbook page for her. We talked a little about her daughter heading out to Nebraska for school & also about my Origami Owl necklace. She wants to get one with the charms that coincide with her book. I think she should market them :) I told her that I had read every one of her books in a week & that I loved them. She is also a tall, blonde babe. Wish I was. {sigh}

Rebecca Donovan - I couldn't wait to meet her! I haven't read any of her books, but in putting together my scrapbook decided that she had the best website of all the authors hands down. Her web designer was there so I complimented her as well. It's like Sex In The City reads books! She is beautiful & so stylish! Good swag as well.

Karina Halle - grabbed her autograph quickly when we crashed Angstfest. She was very accommodating and had on a cool necklace :)

Colleen Hoover - also grabbed her autograph at Angstfest & wish that I would have had more time to hang with her. She was super nice!

R.K. Lilley - She was one of the authors I grabbed in the lobby outside of Angstfest. She is also tall, blonde & a babe. She had on shorts & wedges & was very leggy. Wish I was!  She liked my book & flipped through to check out her friend's pages. Seemed really nice & wasn't in a hurry to run away from us :)

K.A. Linde - she was really sweet at the signing & didn't even get mad at me when I told her that her main character bugged me. She seemed to have a good sense of humor & at Angstfest I saw her shaking her booty :)

Cherrie Lynn - No one was at her table when I got there either! She signed my scrapbook, my real book & took a pic with me. Her biker looking hubby/boyfriend? became the photographer. She gave out really cute little bags as swag.

R.L. Mathewson -  met her while waiting in line at pre-registration. Let's just say I wasn't impressed, but I like her books.

Jamie McGuire - waited in her line & got to her table at the tail end of the day. She was polite, but I think she was tired. Doesn't matter - she signed my book! Also has a really fun karaoke video on her page today that made me smile :)

Katja Millay - haven't read her book but I bought it for her to sign. She was quiet but nice. Saw her later hanging out in the lobby & she looked like a very dignified Southern lady, but she was sporting pink Chuck's with her floral dress. I had to tell her how much I liked them & we chatted for a minute. Totally nice!

Tina Reber - didn't talk to her too long, but her son was under the table playing while we were there & I loved that. She is just a mom like me. She liked my book & took a picture of it for herself. I hear she's really funny & wish we could have hung out longer.

J.A. Radmerski - once again I don't remember much so....moving on

Elizabeth Reyes - very quiet & I'm not sure that she even spoke to me.

Sylvain Reynard - just sent his publicist & before this event we though he was a she :) Wish HE would have been there!

Aleatha Romig - super super nice! How she wrote such a twisted book is beyond me. Met her at the elevators the night of pre-registration & spent time taking to her at her table. I love her!!!!

Madeline Sheehan - very nice & seemed like a fun person. Very rock-n-roll. She seemed young to me, but I'm old so.....

Charles Sheehan-Miles - such a nice guy. He was serving as photographer at the author's table next to his when we got there. He was very appreciative. They took pics of my book & the people he was with were very appreciative as well. I love his books & was impressed with him! He does need new publicity photos though. Just sayin'

Tara Sivec - what's not to love? She is cool. She is funny. She is cute. She called her friend the 'Photo Bitch'. She gave out condoms as swag. I mean seriously! Her books are hilarious & are a direct reflection of her personality. She was at GNO & is a partier. Good times! I did learn that I always pronounced her name wrong before. Ooops!

S.C. Stephens - very quiet. Met her at Angstfest & she was nice, but not overly outgoing.

Tammara Webber - very quiet. Can't remember her even talking to me at her table.

Jasinda Wilder - caught up to her at GNO & she is super down to earth & nice. I have red hair envy!

Nichole Williams - no one was at her table when I went which was really surprising to me. Very nice & she loved my book. Hers is one of my better pages.

Well, that is all. Oh wait! I met Alice Clayton too. She wasn't in my book before I went, but she should have been. Super nice lady & we said 'hey' to her again at GNO. Her autograph says, 'Thank you for enjoying the ridiculous' which is a perfect way to end this post!
