Thursday Afternoon at Thrillerfest

The highlight of Thursday had to be the luncheon and interview with R.L. Stine. Very funny man, and he said he thinks things that are SCARY are funny. He must like Paris Hilton's new single. He also noted that someone once called him the literary training bra for Stephen King.

Sandra Brown and Heather Graham sat down at our luncheon table, and we had a great discussion. I found it a little amusing considering some "up-and-coming" authors were actually chasing established authors and trying to sit with them. My friend Deborah LeBlanc said, "Sandra Brown and Heather Graham just sat down at our table!" Yup.

On another note, I've had some great discussions with Sarie Morrell, who is an incredible publicist (she reps her dad, David Morrell, MJ Rose, Gayle Lynds, David Dun and more). She also does a great column for ReadersRoom.com, Beyond the Spine, that you have to check out if you're looking to publicize your book.

More pictures will follow... I hope.
