Laurie R. King is giving a reading on Saturday at a city about an hour from here. She's got a new book out, The Language of Bees, the latest in her Holmes/Russell series, and so is doing a book tour.
So, naturally, I'm going.
So, naturally, I'm nervous. I only started reading her books a few years ago, but she's rapidly become one of my favorite current authors. The only other author I've met is Ray Bradbury, and that was back when I was in college. And I had reinforcements then, namely my best friend and a professor. Now it will just be little me, driving to a city I've never been in before and then meeting someone whose writing I enjoy and admire and getting her autograph and trying not to have a Watermelon Moment and say something really dumb.
But I'm as excited as I am nervous, so that's good, right?

Yes, excited is good! I'll bet you have a fabulous time. Looking forward to a report when you get back!
Ray Bradbury? That name sounds familiar.... what did he write?
Ray Bradbury wrote sci-fi books like "Fahrenheit 451" and "The Illustrated Man" and "The Martian Chronicles," as well as novels like "Dandelion Wine."
