Chocolate Affaire
Over this past weekend, I coordinated and participated with 29 other authors at a book signing in Glendale, AZ during the Chocolate Affaire.
One might think coordinating an event this size with authors is an easy task, but let me tell you, its not a walk in the park.
My work began in August of 2009 in preparation for this event which took place February 5-7th, 2010. Meetings with officials at the City of Glendale, interviews with the press, meetings with my writing chapter, and a million emails later, I had 29 authors signing, free workshops for everyone during Saturday and Sunday, and chocolate galore.
After all was said and done--we had an awesome time meeting our fans and making new ones, eating chocolate covered strawberries, and chocolate potato chips, and everything else you can think of dipping into chocolate. With over 10,000 people visiting, it was a huge success, and isn't that what it's all about?
Next week, we're leaving sunny Arizona and heading to the east coast into the huge snow storms to visit family. I'm not sure it will be restful, but I do know it will be worth it!
Until next time, wherever you go, whatever you're doing, make the most of it!
