How was it? Exhausting! And it was fun.
Whether you are greeting people or selling something, you have to be constantly “on,” and that can wear you out. One thing that builds you back up is being with positive, supportive people. We had five authors at the booth this year – thanks to our fearless leader, Pat Daily, who made all the arrangements. Pat, Abby, and I had the YA side covered with sci-fi, urban fantasy, and epic fantasy. On the more adult side of the booth, Britta Jensen and E.A. Williams had sci-fi / fantasy and vampire thrillers.
If you haven’t worked together with other authors at a book festival or similar event, I highly recommend it. I learn something valuable from the other authors every time. And they’re just fun to be with.
