Hey, did I casually mentioned Lisa Lutz came to Sacramento to talk, answer questions and generally get gawked at? No, you don't recall? Hmmm. Sorry about that. But she did and I got to see her.
I have to make two comments about the event.
1. Barnes and Noble never plans appropriately for these things (or may just not in our area) I haven't been to a signing yet where I think great job B& N. Either 2/3rds of the audience is left to stand or in my case jump and generally try to shift until I can see around the unusually tall gentleman who is right in front of me. ALWAYS. Or I can't hear a thing. Don't they want people to come? Really what's with stashing author's in the kid's area? The kids area- for crying out loud?
2. Lisa Lutz is nothing like I imagined. AT ALL. Not bad, not good. Just does not match my internal picture of what I imagined she looked like.
I did forever walk away with an autographed copy just for one of my very lucky readers. I also read a copy of the book and will post my thoughts later in the week.

Hi Zoe! I'll be back with a more intelligent post about my all time face book, but in the meantime (hey my husband is snoring) I re-tweeted your giveaway tweet (from both my twitter accounts) and followed you and liked you and and and... I'll be back!
This is a new author to me. I think the world according to garp is pretty off the wall.
