Authors Love Meeting Other Authors Too

Today, I’ll post pictures of some of the authors I got a chance to meet at the 2009 Author!Author Book Festival on Saturday, June 13. I was thrilled to be sitting near Charlaine Harris. True Blood series on HBO is based on her Sookie Stackhouse novels. Several hundred people stood in line to get her autograph and since I was sitting near her, I got to socialize with some interesting people. Here’s a pic of me talking to one of my favorite authors “after” the crowd died down.

Crystal has the most beautiful spirit.  Tracy’s smile is also contagious. Both of their stories are inspiring.
