📚💖 My adventures at Book Lovers Con 2022 💖📚

Dear Reader,
Â
After two thousand miles, thirty-five hours of driving, over ten days, across four cities, I'm finally back from Book Lovers Con. I'm also a puddle of exhausted writer, so this update is going to be brief.
Â
Cue the photo montage!Â
Â
Beginning of the road trip in New Orleans. The eyes are bright. The tail is bushy.
Â
After arriving in Houston, Ms Melinda and I took a bunch of readers on an escape room adventure. And we had so much fun we all came back to do
another room the next day! (Big thanks to Sarah, Sierra (aka Mel), Valerie, Stephanie, and the two Michelles for making this such an awesome experience!)
Â
Day three, Ms Melinda and I went out to get sharpies for the book signing and our rental car blew a tire in the Target parking lot. Then we had
to go get a new one from Hobby Airport. It added an, uh, unexpected side quest to our BLC adventure.
Â
The book signing itself! This is me with my only slightly over-the-top table display. I was sitting next to the fabulous Cynthia D'Alba, who
brought her lovely and extremely hunky cover model Shane with her.Â
Â
Yes, that's him in the background.Â
Â
Biceps. For. Days.Â
Â
Gratuitous puppy shot because I ran into him and his owner outside the book signing and he so cuuuute!
Â
Ms Melinda and I over by her table, doing our best Vana White impressions!Â
Â
Me with one of the lovely readers who won my raffle baskets! I'm sure she told me her name, but I can't for the life of me remember it *insert
shame emoji here*. If anyone knows her, can you please let me know!
Â
Me on the way home back through New Orleans. Is the faint glint of happy exhaustion as obvious as I think it is?
Â
All in all, it was an exciting, exhausting, exhilarating trip. I can't wait to do it all again next year!
Â
XoXo,
Edwina
