Going to see Jane Porter!

Ok, who is an excited fan girl??

ME. That's who!

Jane Porter is coming to Spokane next week, and I am going to go see her! I've already got two of her books (She's Gone Country, and Odd Mom Out) signed, so I think I will probably have to get one of her other books for her to sign. Her postcard also mentioned going to dinner beforehand, and so I am trying to decide if I can get through a dinner with an author I really admire, without making a boob of myself.

Do you think I can do it?

Yah. That's what I thought.

So anyway, I am still chewing on that a bit. I do know that the workshops on marketing that I took at the conference talked about networking at any opportunity. Being friendly with a published author that I admire is an incredible connection to have. But, on the other hand...hanging out with a chill author that writes books that make me laugh and cry and want to tackle my husband....that's a pretty cool friendship to have.

But.......the question remains:

Can I get through an evening with Jane Porter without pulling another "Brenda Novak Situation"?

I can't say for sure.
