Well, the lists are dwindling (at least for now) which means I must be close to being ready to fly out to LA for this year RT Booklover convention! It has been years since I've been to California, but I am looking forward to seeing old friends and meeting new ones!
This year Sahara Kelly and I embark on our first year as reigning Faery Court Queens (affectionately the QE and QEII) as we call ourselves...its going to be a lovely evening as we whisk attendees back to the opulence of a Venetian Masquerade Ball! Mystery, decadence, glitz and glamour await our guests this year!!
Bigger and better this year is the Faery Ball Literacy raffle with "bling" that will make your mouth water!! All proceeds going to the National Coalition for Literacy!!
Special too this year is the sales of the anthology, Twice Upon a Time, a group of faery tales with a moderne day twist put together especially to help our sister fae, Tina Gerow with medical expenses incurred from a dangerous medical condition called, Arteriovenous Malformation. Gratefully, Tina has been through a lot, but is a trooper and continues to improve with each day and is our inspiration!
There is so much going on, but if you are in the area on Saturday for the giant book fair, I will have this year--my story of my Pre-Raphaelite bad boy and his muses--The Master and the Muses as well as a couple of anthologies, The Pleasure Garden and Naughty Bits, Vol III. Stop on by, I'd love to see you!
Until next time, please keep the people of Japan in your thoughts and do what you can to help the American Red Cross providing assistance overseas.
Happy April! and that's no joke!!
Amanda
