A Year of Acheron

Had serious fun last night at the talk and book signing by Sherrilyn Kenyon , author of the Dark Hunter series of paranormal romances. I absolutely love the books, second only to my all time fav, The Black Dagger Brotherhood by JR Ward. Although I missed part of the talk, Sherrilyn is obviously very gracious and a totally upbeat, fun gal.

Part of the fun was that while we all waited (and waited, and waited, and waited...) for the book signing, they were having a continuous raffle with prizes given out by the "Dark Hunter". Here he is... I got very rowdy with my line-mates who, when our numbers were called, would begin whooping and howling, stealing Dark Hunter and making him take photos with everyone on line, including the terribly tired looking bleached blonde (who is she?). What can I say? It was Friday night after a long week at work.


It got to be so late that I was afraid I would miss the last bus back to Rockland County (Thank YOU Coach USA!) so I spoke to the tour manager (who came with Sherrilyn) and she jumped me to the front of the line. Totally unexpected, I thought perhaps I could just leave my book and pick it up Monday signed or something, but she said things like this happen all the time, don't sweat it.
Got the new book, got posters and buttons and all sorts of tchotchkes. Also, was the only person who dressed as a character (Tabitha from" Seize the Night"). Next time I'll go as Simi!
