I was the fill-in local author-tour escort for urban fantasy author Richelle Mead in Houston on Saturday.
These author tours are usually my wife’s gig – sort of an add-on to her work at Houston’s leading indie-cool Blue Willow Bookshop. She was in Boston helping #1 son move into his sophomore dorm, and got a bonus dash of hurricane and almost-state funeral for Ted Kennedy; leaving me to handle the author tour. Main event was a reading/signing at the Barnes and Noble in the Woodlands. 200-plus fans (some from NOLA and Dallas) with about 1,000 copies of her books (the fourth in the young-adult series just came out; there are two adult series – also vampire-centric – as well) waited in a long line for a signature, a photo and a quick chat. Who knew teen-age vampires were such a draw?
