I love to read. I have a large pile of clothes in my floor, consigned to their fate there because I needed more space for books. I read a little of everything, nonfiction bring my favorite, but of fiction, I think urban fantasy is my favorite genre right now. The Harry Dresden series by Jim Butcher is my ongoing favorite. I was lucky enough meet Mr. Butcher at a book signing in Lexington, KY. He was a wonderful speaker, gracious and generous with all the questions, most of which he’s no doubt heard a hundred thousand times by now. He took the time to sign every single book, even after the bookstore had closed for the night, and never faltered in his friendly attitude. He even posed for a picture with yours truly. Once I get the pictures back from the developer (dingbat forgot to take her spiffy expensive digital camera and had to make due with a disposable one) I’ll post them here if my hair isn’t too heinous. Humidity and flaming red curly hair doesn’t mix well, and I refuse to look like Bozo any more than I can help.

Getting back to the point of the story, I hope I’m as cool as Jim Butcher once I get my book published and go on tour. He’s definitely a cool guy. Take the time to stop by his book signings if you can, and pick up the Harry Dresden books. You won’t be disappointed if you like your paranormal with a side of Sam Slade.
