Fans rule
Day 11 of the tour:
Tonight’s appearance at Books Inc (Opera Plaza) was fabulous. Lots of rabid, smart, enthusiastic Scott fans and passionate arguments about David/Zane. For the record I like Zane better than David but prefer Shay to either one of them.
The most wonderful part of the evening for me was meeting London, who’s a guy from Sacramento, who drove all the way to San Francisco (which is at least two hours!) to tell me how much he loves my books. Isn’t that awesome? Also turns out he’s a Sacramento Monarchs fan and has even met their big star Yolanda Griffiths. I was deeply impressed and we got to talk women’s hoops which always makes me happy.
Equally happy making was the lovely Liset who gave me a beautiful piece of fan art:

What a wonderful day. Thanks to Jennifer and Shannon for all your hard work. You guys are deeply splendiferous!
There’s lots more to say. And a tonne of your comments I want to respond to, but I’m completely knackered.
Tomorrow there are more events. Also we fly to Seattle.
Sleep now!

Aaaah! Justine, you’re reading ufb at signings? when will you post an excerpt on your site?!
i do not understand the hatred of tally. i never thought she was that bad. shay could be an ass too.
oh wells. i like aya better than all of them.

Shausto-la Says:
that is some pretty awesome art. i would just like to argue on your point about zane. David is soo much more ahmazinger than zane and, to be honest, just perfect for tally. oh, but i do loveee shay. she should totally hook up with fausto- thus shausto.

I don’t hate David. I think he’s perfectly fine. I just like Zane better. I don’t hate Tally either! It’s just that Shay and Aya are my favourites.
I’ll talk to my publishers about when they want me to post an excerpt from the UFB.
