(2. But contrary to popular belief, I learned the other day that it is a myth that signed copies cannot be returned to the publisher! Here, if you are curious, is a recent story on why 'returns' are bad for authors and publishers...)
(3. I have confidence, though, that the delightful staff members at Books of Wonder will thoroughly and wholeheartedly vend these copies...)
4. This is a nice dress that I am wearing, but it shows too much cleavage! I got it a couple years ago at J. Crew, I hate shopping but I spotted it immediately as something I would wear, and indeed I often get a nice compliment on how it looks on me & the question of whether it is vintage emerges (but in fact I do not have a small enough ribcage to wear real vintage dresses from the 1940s!); however it has a fatal design flaw, as all items from J. Crew do (it always is the sort of thing one only realizes once one has actually brought it home), the front flap situation would really have been better off with some kind of button or fastener - it is possible to use a brooch, for instance, to clip it together very high up next to the throat (this is perhaps the modest but alluring look that one might prefer on a date with a vampire!)...
We were egged on to pose by the camera-holder, but I think I naturally have a fairly exaggerated manner in public...
More au naturel:
The main subject of the photograph below is Linda Gerber, who is very nice indeed and whose own camera batteries had run out! Hmmm, I have been a lifelong anti-photographer, really I would always rather live in the moment, but I can see the utility - I took a few other pics for authors who had forgotten to bring their cameras...
