Tucson - 2 of 3

Day 3

Tucson Festival of Books

We are still on Ohio time, so again we were up really early.  This was good though as we had time to get dressed and me fixed up so that I looked decent for the festival as well as have time to stop for Starbucks and breakfast.  Then the journey began to find the festival.  It was a gorgeous morning and showed promise of being a warm and lovely day.  Thank you, God!  I so wanted to spend some time in the sunshine. 

Now I had an address, but for some reason our GPS kept taking us in the wrong direction.  We were back and forth for 45 minutes before we found the place and by that time I was freaking out.  I wanted to get there early so that I wasn’t rushed in finding the author’s pavilion and getting checked in (before 10:30) and finding my group for the panel and my host, and basically I wanted a few minutes to gather myself.  I was scared. 

But no.  That was not to be.  We pulled into the university area and I just happened to see a parking lot full of little pink tags, the same as the one I had clutched in my hands, that I was provided by the University.  I pointed my husband over to that area, he rolled down the window and waved the tag, and we got front and center parking, because I……was an author.  How cool was that.  I literally, got out of my car, crossed one intersection and was there.  It was great and a huge time saver too.

We came to the festival and I stopped in my tracks.  The place was HUGE.  I can’t say what exactly I was expecting, but the sheer number of tents and tables and activities and venders, was enormous.  I just stood and took it all in.  It was only a little after 10:00 a.m. and already the place was packed full of people.  We wound our way through and after asking for direction to the Author’s Pavilion, finally we found it.  I got hugs and kisses and wishes of luck from my girls and my husband, then they left me to go and see what they could do until my first panel began at 11:30. 

I walked in, presented myself and checked-in.  I was given a lanyard with my name and status (as an author) on it.  It was so cool.  Yes, it was just a lanyard, but it made me feel special for once.  I sat down in the first empty seat I could find and pulled out my notes and itinerary for the day.  The lounge had fruit and veggies and coffee and water and donuts and danishes, but I was so nervous and my tummy was so jumpy that there was no way I was going to be able to eat anything right them.  I would just come back between my two panels and grab something then.

 

I didn’t know anyone.  I know loads of author’s by name, but I don’t know any of them by face.  Maybe one or two like Stephen King and Anne Rice, but they weren’t going to be there that day.  I sat there feeling out of place and then had to have a firm talking to myself.  I was there to meet and mingle.  I needed to quit being a big baby and I needed to say hello.  To someone.  So I turned the man next to me and did just that.  He was a very nice man, and although he told me his name and that he was an illustrator, I was so nervous all I can remember is that his name is Dave, which is a shame as apparently he was quite the illustrator too.  People kept interrupting the poor man as he was trying to talk to me just to say hello and that they loved his work.  He was very nice.  I hope I get a chance to meet up with him again, not just to get his last name either, but because I enjoyed his company. 

The next person I met was one of my panel “mates”.  Cynthia Leitich Smith

She was so nice to me and when I expressed I was nervous, she laughed and said I would do just fine.  She made me feel better.  We talked a bit until our Moderator, Donna Jurich, came to hunt us up.  We were still missing a panel member at this point but we decided to head over to our room and hope that she would make it in time.

We got to our room, and thankfully the last member for our panel, Apprilynn Pike came in.  She had forgotten her little pink tag and couldn’t get parked and had been driving around for an hour trying to find a place to park.  She was a bit frazzled and that gave me something to focus on.  Worrying about someone else is always so much better than worrying about yourself.

The room was filling up and finally, Donna started the panel at promptly 11:30.  Cynthia was introduced and she spoke of herself and her books and it was eloquent and it was fun and it was interesting.  She talked for a good 5 minutes.  Then I was introduced and honest to God my entire brain shut down.  I smiled.  A big toothy smile and according to my family the look of honest panic that crossed my face was almost comical.  I found my Seren’s smiling face and she giggled at me.  I was in a complete panic. I broke into a sweat and as I was told later, my face and chest turned bright red.  I finally stuttered out a hello, and then said something stupid like, I was in such awe of Cynthia I forgot what I was going to say.  The room laughed and then I struggled to introduce my work and myself and I can’t really even tell you what I said. That moment did end thankfully and it was then Aprilynne’s turn and she carried her introduction off without a hitch.  Then we began the question and answer section, which I was able to do without problem.  After another ten minutes or so, I wasn’t quite as scared as I had been at the first and was able to actually answer questions as if I knew what I was talking about. By the end of the panel, I was good to go. 

I am so very thankful for both of my panel mates and my moderate, as without them, that moment could have been a disaster for me.  They smiled and they were funny and they all understood I was a mess of nerves.  I am so very grateful to have met them and to have been on the panel with them.  They were wonderful. 

From there we went to an autograph session.  We signed books, and bookmarks and autograph books and had our pictures taken.  There was a whole herd of girls about 12 years old that came through with “New Moon” autograph books that were so sweet and nice.  I had fun during that portion. One on one I am good.  It’s the group things that need a little work. 

 

After that I found my way back to the pavilion and decided I was hungry.  I rechecked in and went to the food tables to find them almost empty.  Picked through to the last piece of pineapple.  I grabbed about four slices of cucumber and a new bottle of water and munched on them.  I decided to try to find my way back to my next panel room, as I didn’t really have anything else to do.  After making a quick pit-stop I waited at my room for my next set of panel people.  I was starving so I dug through my bag for the little cutie oranges that Donna had given us at our autograph session. Thank goodness she had thought to do that.  They were a life saver! 

My next panel had Joshua Cohen and Amy Dominy with me.  Our moderator was Michelle Parker-Rock and she is with the SCBWI. 

Because we had all met at the room there wasn’t much time to meet and greet but enough to say hello and get comfortable.  Again we were asked to introduce ourselves and that time I was able to pull it off.  Although I was still shaking like a leaf, I was more able to hide it and press onward.  I was still red in the face and chest and I was still sweating like you wouldn’t believe, but it was better.  Again afterward we went to an autograph session, which was a bit slow, but it was still worth it.

From there my family picked me up and I demanded FOOD.  We browsed around the festival for a bit.  Found that most of my books appeared to have been sold.  We were only able to find four books in the bookstore, so hopefully that really is all that was left. 

 

All in all it was a great day.  Aside from a few snafus here and there, I think I did all right.  After we left the festival, we grabbed some real food, check in at home and on my dog (he was fine), and then called it a night.  After all that anxiety, I was tired. 

To be continued…

Tucson - 1 of 3

Hello!  Made it back from my trip and thought I would share our trip in full, not just the “author” stuff.  So here we go.

Day 1:

Thursday, started off the same as any other day.  Got up, got the girls off to school, and myself off to work.  Same ole, same ole.  Then around 11ish, I got a call from home saying I needed to come home immediately, something was wrong with my dog.  Now most of you should know, my dog is my sweet boy, that I love.  I don’t mean I like him when he’s sweet.  I love that dog.  All the time.  Hair, slobber, mess, and all.  So I race home.  I made the 20 minute drive in 12 minutes time, in the pouring rain.  Apparently, my 9 year old dog, decided he was going to have a seizure, the day we are suppose to leave.  He has never had one before and it was scary as all heck.  Foaming at the mouth, shaking, disoriented, eyes rolled back, and mean to my husband.  I bound in the house at break neck speed to find him lying on the floor.  He sees me, I see him.  He crawls across the floor on his tummy to get to me, and I drop down to the floor to get to him.  He proceeds to crawl on top of me and cry something terrible.  It broke my heart.  The tears shed were monumental. 

The vet was called and he said, no worries (WHAT?).  5% of all dogs get them once in their lives and to just watch him.  That’s it.  Hmmm okay.  So I do.  After about an hour of crying and panting, he finally started to feel better.  He ate, and drank and bounced after me outside and was frankly, back to normal.  I still was nervous about leaving him, but Grandpa promised to take good care of him.  So I was talked into leaving. 

Sidney came home, we packed up the car, we picked up Seren from school, and off we went to the airport.  I was more worried about my dog at that point than I was about my first ever plane ride.  That is until we got on the plane and I was then completely focused on the plane.  We made it through security.  It wasn’t too bad.  I did have to do the full body scan which sorta creeped me out, but since no one had to actually touch me, it was okay.  We filed onto our plan and I sat down.  The rumbling of the plane was a bit scary.  The take off was really scary.  The first 15 minutes I sat statute still to make sure I was going to survive without barfing all over the place.  The next 15 I tried to read the Skymall magazine.  Then I pulled out the ipad and watched Footloose (it was all right).  All in all it was going well.  Then we landed and aside from the fact that my foot brake would not work, it was a safe and sound landing into Phoenix. 

From Phoenix we took an express plane (think tiny) to Tucson.  Again the take off was all right, a bit on the bumpy side and a bit more nauseating, but livable.  It helped that it was literally up and down.  We were up and down in about 25 minutes.  We made it to Tucson around 10:30 pm.  We got our rental car, and off we went in search of our hotel, the Doubletree, by Hilton in Tucson.  Very nice.  We were giving warm chocolate chip cookies at check-in along with Scorpion warnings (eee!).  No towels on the floor; pick up all clothing;  zip up all bags;  close all purses; hang up all coats;  on and on it went all while we stood mouths a gap with a warm cookie in hand.  We checked out the room out for critters, dropped our bags, and crashed as remember it may be 11:00 p.m. in Tucson, but it was 1:00 Ohio time.  We were pooped!

Day 2:

We wake up at the butt crack of dawn, meaning around 5ish Tucson time, but we’re up, so we get a move on, shower and dress and get ready for the day.  Here is a photo out of our view. 

Lovely eh?  Oranges right outside our window.  Scorpion apparently love oranges.  Great            

We are expecting 80ish weather.  That would be a big nope.  Cold outside.  Freaking figures too.  Its 47 and expected to only get up to around 60.  So we go back in and change from shorts to jeans with jackets.  Then we step out for our first venture in a new land.  Tucson is…dirty.  Sun washed out browns and tans and yellows and greens, and enough dust to choke on.  Everything looks worn and old.  I am not saying it is, I’m saying it looks it.  What grass there is, is brown and dry and brittle.  Most of the lawns are gravel and weeds.  I was not expecting that.  I suppose that was naïve of me, as it is in fact a desert.  Duh.

We drove out to the Desert Museum.  On the way, there were mountains all around us.  Loads of them and instead of trees dotting the ground there were cactus’.  Saguaro Cactus’ to be exact (see I can learn).  Then we had to drive all the way almost to the top and over a mountain to get there.  The Museum was loads of fun.  There were caves, and animals, and reptiles, and fish and frogs and so much to see and learn and oooh and aaaah over.  We spent quite a bit of time there just wandering the trails and learning about the plants and the desert animals.  It was fun.  Cold, but fun nonetheless.

After the Desert Museum, we stopped at the National Wildlife Museum (It was on the way back down the mountain).   Stuffed animals and skeletal remains of every kind imaginable.  Including a few fables like unicorns, matadors, and mermaids, complete with history lesson.  There was a mammoth, which was so cool to see.  We have one in Ohio, but it’s behind glass so you can’t get right up next to it.  This one was RIGHT there in front of you.  So cool to see and touch (shhhh not sure if we were suppose to touch….). 

After the Wildlife we headed back down the mountain.  There were a few scenic views and climbing trails so guess what we did?  Yup.  We had so much energy still in us that we decided to climb around the mountain and see what we could see. 

After that we were truly tired.  We headed back to the hotel to clean up and then go find some food to eat for dinner.   After which we found a nice mall to roam for a bit before we went back to our hotel and called it a night around 10 (after first checking the beds for bugs).  All in all we had a lovely first day.

To be continued (I know that is just so mean….)

The Tucson Festival of Books - March 10-11, 2012

This week, I will be leaving for the Tucson Festival of Books.  What is that?  Well, it’s a Festival for book lovers of all ages, held at the University in Tucson.  They have authors, they have publishers, they have booths for booksellers and other stuff, and best of all they have literacy areas, games, and activities for children and teens.  To find out more about the festival go HERE.

I am lucky enough to be taking part in two panels on March 10, 2012. 

The first is: 

Blood and Kisses: Paranormal Romance
Panel / Sat 11:30 AM - 12:30 PM
Education Building - Room 349

The second is:

Finally Getting Published! Debut YA Authors (adults)
Workshop / Sat 2:30 PM - 03:30 PM
Education Building - Room 333

After each panel, I will have a meet and greet and autograph session.  To find out more about my activities you can go here: HERE   Simply click on my name and you will get my schedule for the event.  Both Shadow Dancer and Shadow Warrior will be on sale at the store and I will be handing out bookmarks and such.  If you are in the area, please stop by and say hello. 

This is very exciting.  First of all, I have never ever, never been on an airplane.  I know, crazy right?  In order to get out to Tucson in time, I will have to take my first airplane travel trip. I’m really excited about this, but I am also scared to death! Motion sickness is one of my more troublesome issues.  We will be taking off from Columbus and landing in Phoenix, and then taking off again in Phoenix to end in Tucson.  That’s a lot of ups and down for me.  I really don’t want to start out or end my trip tossing my cookies.  It tends to ruin my mood. 

I am also a bit anxious about the panels.  Well, that’s a lie.  I’m frightened, big time.  I don’t do well in new environments where I have to actually talk.  I get so nervous that everything I say tends to come out way wrong.  Insulting wrong.  Then I try to fix what I have said and it just gets worse and worse.  Its one of the reasons I like being a hermit.  Plus I have an awful case of the “What ifs”.  What if I don’t know how to answer the question?  What if no one wants to ‘meet and greet’?  What if no one wants my books?  What if people hate me?  See, it’s a terrible thing.  I’m truly and completely making myself nuts.  Although I am sure it will all turn out just fine in the end, the gathering nerves are killing me. 

On a great side of things, aside from Saturday, I will have Friday and Sunday just to explore and see the great state of Arizona.  I don’t know yet what all we will venture out to see, but I plan on taking photos. 

Next Mondays blog may be a bit late in posting, as we fly back home on Monday.  I will post as soon as possible and will hopefully have some great photos and stories to share.  Pray than none of them include me falling off the stage or out of chair or calling someone fat or any of the other bad possibilities that could happen around me. Wish me luck!

Have a great week!

I've Been Tagged!

I’ve been tagged!

Apparently this one is in the air.  Thank you to Cat at http://katrinadelallo.blogspot.com/2012/02/blog-tag.html and

Kelly at:  http://kellyhashway.blogspot.com/ and

Angela at:  http://angeliaalmos.blogspot.com/2012/02/ive-been-tagged.html for the tags. 

I think I am going to have a hard time finding 11 blogs to tag back…so I changed it to five.  Yes, I am cheating.  At any rate here we go.

The Tag rules:
1. You must post the rules!
2. Answer the questions and then create eleven new questions to ask the people you’ve tagged.
3. Tag five people and link to them.
4. Let them know you’ve tagged them

Your 11 questions.
1. What is your favorite blog(s)? 

Right now my favorite blog is:  http://ladaisi.blogspot.com/

This blog has bit of everything.  Photos, art, writing, whimsy.  I love visiting this blog. 

2. What is your favorite past time besides writing or illustrating?

Being outside.  If the sun is shining and temperature is more than 70, then my butt is usually outside.  I’m in the garden or in the orchard, or at the pond or catching butterflies, or walking in the woods, reading a book or whatever I can think of.  I have decided that is the reason winters are so hard on me.  I am stuck inside.  No, I hate the cold.  When I say I am stuck, I am stuck. 

3. What is your favorite adaptation (movie or TV show made from a book)?

Pride and Prejudice.  The new one with Keira Knightley. 

Phantom of the Opera – any of them. 

I just watched, The Help and have to say that one will be a good one.

The Secret Garden is also up on the list.

4. Dog or cat person?

Either.  I am an animal person.  Dogs are the best as they love to be affectionate and are always happy to see you.  Cats, not so much. They give affection when they want to and usually don’t care to see you one way or another as long as there is food in the dish and water in the bowl.  I still like them though as when they are in the mood to be loving they make up for their lack when they aren’t.

5. What is your dream job (can't be author or illustrator)?

Nothing.  My dream job is being an author.  There was a time I wanted to be a teacher, but now that I am older and wiser I realized, I don’t want to do that anymore. 

6. Do you own an ereader? What kind or why not?

Yes, I have a Kindle.  I love it too! No more hauling ten books around in my bag.  Now I just haul one lightweight Kindle and have all the books I could ever read right at my fingertips.  I still love my books and still plunder the library as often as possible, but the Kindle is really wonderful. 

7. What movie in 2012 can you not wait to see or if you already saw it what was it?

1.         The Hunger Games.  Read the books and hope the movie does them justice.

2.         The Avengers.  I am a comic book fan.  Plus the guy they have playing Thor – Oh my! 

3.         Brave – The new Disney movie coming this summer.  It looks so good and I can’t wait to see it!

4.             Breaking Dawn II – Yes.  I want to see this.  I want to see if they can pull off the last movie.

8. What is your favorite mythical creature?

Fairies.  No really, I love the idea of fairies.  Its one of the reasons I still try to catch butterflies.  Maybe one of these days I will catch not an insect but a creature instead.   I do believe in fairies.  I do.  I do.  (If you don’t know what that is from, you are severely lacking in your Tinkerbell lore).

9. What movie scared you more than anything? 

1.         The Exorcist.  Oh my, to this day, that movie wigs me out!

2.            Paranormal Activity – The first one.  They did such a great job with this movie I actually was afraid to go to sleep for a few days. 

10. Do you have any famous relatives? Who?

Nope.

11. What genres do you read most often?
Horror I read the most.  The next in line and a close next would be romance.  I wonder if because of all the not so happy endings I get with Horror that I need the love story with the Happily Ever After, now and then. 

Okay here are my 11 questions:

1.         Book or Ebook and why.

2.             Do you read indie books?  Why or why not?

3.             What is your favorite animal?

4.             What is your favorite paranormal power and why?

5.             Do you have one place on earth that you dream of visiting?

6.             If your house was on fire, and you had 30 seconds to get out, what would you grab?  You can’t say people or animals, as those are all already safe and sound waiting outside at the meeting place.

7.             Coffee? 

8.             What are your all time favorite reads?

9.             Who is your favorite storybook character?

10.           Do you believe in magic?  Why or why not?

11.           Who is your favorite musical artist.

And here are the blogs I am tagging:

1.        Allyn

2.        Carrie

3.        Becca

4.        Kim

5.        Denise

Have a great week everyone!

The winners of the Amazon Gift Certificates are:  Karen H. and Lyra L7.  If you have not already received my emails to you, please contact me ASAP.

Thanks again to everyone who supported the tour. 

~*~

As some of you already know there was an issue with Thursdays post (2/16/2012).  I have decided to post it here so that it doesn't go to waste.  

Book Recommendations

By Courtney Rene

I love to read.  I don’t mean it’s an enjoyable pastime for me.  I mean I LOVE to read.  I would spend every waking moment with my nose buried in a book if it was plausible.  As for recommendations, well, my book recommendations change all the time, but for this moment in time, here are a couple that have made my list. 

And…I broke them out a little differently.  This is not just your everyday ‘top’ list.  This is a list by Genre.  That way there is something for everyone.  I have also provided Amazon links just on the off chance you want to check any of these reads out. 

Okay, here we go…

HISTORICAL:

1.         Ride the Wind, by St. Clair.  I have been recommending this book for several years.  I just love this book.  It’s historical, it’s thriller, it’s horror, and it’s romance.  It’s fiction and yet its non-fiction.  In a word, it is fantastic. American Indian heritage at its best and its worst.  Ride the Wind 

ROMANCE:

2.         The Harmony Series by Jodi Thomas.  These are easy reads.  Not all that much in the way of the “S” word but very entertaining.  It is full of people that you can get attached to.  From the young all the way to the old and all that’s in between.  I do believe there will be another book added to this series but I can’t tell you when.  I hope it is soon as I could use a nice read.

Welcome to Harmony

Somewhere Along the Way 

Comforts of Home 

YA/TEEN:

3.            Spinners, by Donna Jo Napol. This is the tale of Rumplestilskin from the point of view of, Rumplestilskin.  This is an amazing telling and a take on the story that I never would have thought of.  Phenomenal read.  If you have not read this, go and do it.  Now. Seriously.

Spinners

            Gone, by Michael Grant.  This book could also be considered both paranormal and horror.  Michael Grant is no shrinking violet when it comes to gore and the scary.  It’s an end of the world as we know it book only with children being the only ones left to rule their world.  Great, vivid telling of a book.   

Gone 

THRILLER:

4.            Windmills of the Gods, by Sidney Sheldon.  I don’t know what I expected when I picked up this book.  It was one that had been recommended to me, and frankly sat on my TBR pile for months before I finally cracked open the binding.  It begins with a bang and all the way through it is nail biting action.  I should have read this long ago. 

Windmills of the Gods 

HORROR:

5.         I had a hard time thinking of a good recommend for Horror.  There are so many that have gone the way of just blood and guts, which I like but that is not actually scary for me.  I had to go back a ways to come up with good scary reads.  So my picks in the horror department are:

Lightening, by Dean Koontz. 

Lightening 

The Mist, by Stephen King. 

The Mist 

You can’t go wrong with either of these authors.  These two books are two of my favorites. 

CHILDREN’S:

6.         Small Pig, by Arnold Lobel.  This is a sweet story about an unhappy pig that runs away from home, goes to the big city, and realizes that home is where he belonged all along.  I love this book.

Small Pig

Junie B. Jones, Barbara Park.  This series is fun to read even as an adult.  The zany Junie B. Jones cracks me up with some of her antics.  It is also an easy learning to read type of book. 

Junie B. Jones 

NON-FICTION

7.         Get Out of My Life, but First, Could you Drive Me and Cheryl to the Mall, by Anthony Wolf, PhD.  The best parenting book for teens that I have found.  Whether you have a boy or a girl, this is a must read.  Better if you read it BEFORE they hit the teen years, but just as helpful if you wait until you are struggling with a hormonal nightmare.

Get out of my Life... 

That’s all I have for now.  However, if anyone is ever in need of a book recommendation, feel free to drop me a line and ask me.  I am very opinionated and happy to give my thoughts to any that want them, and sadly to some that don’t. 

Cheers.

Chronicle - The Movie

First:  there is great new interview up here:  Long and Short Interview

Even though the interview is of me, I am still allowed to call it great, because they did a wonderful job with it.  Be sure to head over and check it out. 

This week I am doing my thoughts (I am not calling it a review) of the movie – Chronicle.

This is a movie, about three high school friends who gain superpowers after making a discovery.   They soon find their lives spinning out of control as they embrace their darker sides. (Darker sides? Okaaaaay…)

 

It stars:  Michael B. Jordan, Michael Kelly and Alex Russell

Okay, that’s the short blurb.  Mine would be three high school boys (not friends at first), make a strange and wild discovery in the form of what I would call a meteorite with life in it.  After this discovery they begin to exhibit “powers” in the form of telekinesis, which after weeks of practice to hone their skills they can fly, push air, move objects, all with their minds.  They also have a connection to each other.  They never really explain how or why they have this connection but they seem to know when one of the three are in trouble, which by the end of the movie, they all are. 

Add in that one of the boys is a jock, an all American football hero;  one is the clown/mild partier;  and one is the outcast with a dying mother and abusive father.  Out of the three, guess who wigs out?

The story is of their growth, their found friendship, and how power ruins it all. 

My rating?  I give it a 9.  I really truly enjoyed this movie.  My emotions were all over the place with the main characters.  Laughter, sadness, joy, anger, frustration, pity, even a bit of “ewww”.  The effects were so cool.  It had a great sense of humor.  The ending was what I thought it should be. I wanted more, but it was a good place to stop.  If you like paranormal super power movies, you will love this one.  I really did.    

That's all for this week.  Next week is the start of my blog tour so be sure to check back for blogs and dates and places to go.  Have a great one.
