Signing Report

I just got back from a great event at the North Haven, CT Barnes & Noble. Unfortunately, I was way late to the event because of a tractor trailer fire on I-95. It was awful. I had left my home on Long Island in plenty of time. My GPS gave me an ETA of 12:30 until I got about 7 miles away from the place. Then I sat and sat and sat in bumper to bumper traffic for an hour and a half just to get to the next exit in order to get off and make my way through the tangle of back streets. Yikes!

Once I actually got there, I found the event already in progress with quite a large audience. I missed most of the Q&A portion of the discussion but I did manage to talk to many readers and a few old friends. I was happy to see Susan Hanniford Crowley again. And I had the pleasure of sitting next to Kathryn Smith and my old friend, Cat Johnson. Isabelle Santiago was a total sweetheart and had a lot of friends at the store, which was really great. Stella Price was on the other side of the table with Kristen Higgans, Jessica Anderson and Karen Olsen. I didn’t get to really talk to the last three ladies, unfortunately.

There was more traffic on the ride home but I finally made it back to my laptop. Whew! I want to thank the organizers of the event for a lovely afternoon and apologize again for being late. Darnit. Traffic in the Northeast really sthinks sometimes.
