I woke up feeling kind of anxious this morning…I’ve never actually done a bookstore reading before, and wasn’t sure anyone would show up.  But having Gbemi there tonight made everything feel very comfortable and calm—we had a full room of wonderful readers who asked thoughtful questions, and we sold some books (and ate chocolate).  Many thanks to Crystal at Brownstone Books for hosting our joint reading.  I’m sure not every indie bookstore will open its doors to me, but Crystal was as warm and friendly as ever.  Thanks also to Liza, my amazing publicist, who came all the way to Brooklyn on a Saturday night.  And thanks to all our guests for making this night fun and anxiety-free!

Don’t forget–tomorrow’s your last chance to enter Susan’s AWAM giveaway over at Color Online!  And if you already have your copy of Wish, send me a photo, please…
