I got to the con this morning bright and early so I could enjoy the Viable Paradise brunch in the con suite before going to Beth Bernobich's reading. And the brunch was lovely. I got to hang out and chat with several VPers, as well as Doyle and Macdonald. There is no badness in that. Beth's reading was quite lovely, and then it was off to the dealer's room to see if the Broad Universe table needed any more copies of Unwelcome Bodies, which gratifyingly, they did. Then it was off to Doyle and Macdonald's reading, which was entertaining, as usual.

Then I had half an hour to kill before my reading, so I toodled around and saw the flyer racks being taken down. I looked to see how many UB bookmarks and Tattooed Lady postcards were left. And there were three Tattooed Lady postcards...but they'd been ripped into four pieces and left in a stack at the base of the racks. Um, WTF? I'm not quite sure how to interpret that, and I'm not sure I want the culprit to clarify. I mean, I can't even chalk it up to a Helix protest, since it looked like the image that was at the top of the stack was that of the other postcard model and not me.

My reading went fairly well, although it was the smallest audience I've ever had. Since the bulk of them had already read my collection (or at least read most of the stories in it), I read "Organ Nell," which is currently in circulation. Then I did a stint at the Broad Universe table until the dealer's room closed, and went to Victoria Janssen's reading, which was deliciously hot :P~~~~~

All told, I sold 13 paperback copies of Unwelcome Bodies this weekend: 3 at the Fair, and 10 at the con. Not too shabby!

Right, my dinner bloat has subsided enough that I think I should start rehearsing for Thursday. Eep!
