Yesterday was magical. My book signing in a tiny Parisian bookshop, answering questions from a Parisian book blogger with the help of my French-speaking author assistant while signing books and bookplates (for ebooks) was a delightful dream I never even dared to have.
Afterward, my family and I had a wonderful evening of dîner, wine, and lively, intellectual conversation at the home of a long-time online friend who is also an SF writer.
Magical. An amazing trip made even better.
Thanks to Morgan Julien Crestel for sharing his home and friends with us. Thank you to Noelle Gaussens for her help in making it all go smoothly. Thanks to Blandine from MxM Bookmark, my French publisher, for setting the whole thing up, Laura for hosting me at Librairie Royaumes, and Karen for the delightful questions for her blog.
