What I did today...

[zouzounaki]

So, today I got the rare pleasure of watching my sister do one of her book presentations. A little background: every fall, the library district hires an author to come do a tour of the county's schools. Well, it was decided that not only was it awesome promotion for the book and for holocaust awareness in historical fiction, but pretty darned good for the library too to hire Ann on this fall. Now, most of her appearances are in schools but today she was doing a presentation for adults and asked me along. She was excellent; she really has the whole presentation down and when she reads from her book, it's really emotionally touching, even for someone who's been reading it since the rough draft nearly four years ago. I also got to meet all of her coworkers, which is always an interesting experience because I hear so much about them. I even raised a hand and asked a question just to try to encourage others.

I dunno, I guess I thought it might be weird, and it made Ann a bit nervous to have me there at first, but it felt very natural once she'd gotten going.

All in all, very lovely day. I got to see my sister in super-professional author mode and hear her marvelous presentation! Win!

Peace, Ghani

THAT'S SO AWESOME! I was just grinning reading this. I'm always so intensely happy for Ann when I hear about her success in this vein, and I'm glad you're getting to experience that with her. *hugs you both*

Hugs back! Ann's just so awesome, I can't help being proud! *g* And boy has it been a nice change this weekend after the hellacious week we had to get Peter out of the house and then have a wonderful day like this one!

Plus, I got to go to HQ and search through their selection! I was staggering under the weight of the TPBs and graphic novels I checked out, heh!
