Multi-Author Signing at Copperfield's Books

My husband, kids and I drove up to San Francisco on Friday so I could go to Copperfield's Books in Petaluma for a multi-author signing. The drive was rather easy with my awesome husband at the helm. We drove over the Golden Gate Bridge, a first for our boys. It was super foggy when we drove across which made it kind of scary.

We walked around Ghirardelli Square, Hyde Street Pier and went to the Maritime Museum. It was a great time for sightseeing.

We then drove up to Petaluma and found our hotel. I traveled on to Copperfield's Books for the Super Summer YA Pizza Party and met up with the other authors at the event. I also ran into Tabitha who I met while I was at BEA! Small book world! 





Daisy Whitney, Shannon Messenger, Debra Driza, SJ Kincaid, Marissa Meyer, Susanne Winnacker, and me and Tabitha from "My Shelf Confessions"! All of these ladies are SO very nice and fun to be on a panel with.


 Daisy Whitney was the moderator for the event. She had great questions for us. It was then opened to the audience for questions. A 10 year old boy was there and was so cute with his questions. "How did you come up with your idea? Were you just sitting there, hanging out, and thinking, 'Huh, maybe I could mix a cyborg with Cinderella. That'd be cool.'" (His question for Marissa Meyer.) We ended with signing books and meeting the readers and bloggers who attended the event. Blogger Mindy has a post on the event, too.

I met Petaluma Batman after the signing

More sightseeing around San Francisco before we drove to the Big Basin Redwood State Park and then back home.





Thank you to EVERYONE who supported this event. Hugs and cupcakes to you!
