After spending hours on emergency work at the office, it felt especially good to go to a book signing at Page One. My wife needed our minivan so fan Jessica Coyle gave me a ride. The authors were local writer Stephen Gould, and Carrie Vaughn who's in town for Mythcon. (One lady in the audience looked familiar, for a good reason, as she was Catherynne Valente, also here for Mythcon.) Vaughn and Gould spent the first hour answering questions, after which they signed books. Vaughn (who knew my name before I said it, presumably because of my FaceBook icon) autographed "Kitty's Big Trouble" and "Discord's Apple". I later bought her superhero novel "After The Golden Age", but decided not to ask her to sign it because things were winding down. Besides, she'll be at Bubonicon in mid-August. I chatted with a few people then Jessica took me home. It definitely was an enjoyable evening. Nice too that I feel like I belong.

I reviewed (http://linkmeister.com/wordpress/?p=6680) "After the Golden Age" the other day, in case you missed it.

Mmmm. Page One. I remember that store well from when I lived in Albuquerque.
