YC3 - Day Two
Snowpocalypse/Star Wars Day
The second day of YC3 was surreal. If I hadn't just spent two hours editing, uploading, and formatting pictures, I'd probably still think it was a dream. Seriously, I had a blast. Not only was it snowing all day (still going!) I met so many amazing people, participated in my first author panel, and sent my book out into the hands of many excited new readers. I tried to remember to get pictures with everyone, but unfortunately quite a few got left out. Maybe I can catch them tomorrow when things slow down. Anyway, I hope you'll enjoy the highlights from this incredible day:

I started the day as a Jedi. Little did I know how much trouble that would cause... |

"Aren't you a little short for a stormtrooper?" I joked when a he came to investigate. |

Kylo didn't think it was very funny, but this time I snagged his lightsaber! |

Granpa Vader didn't find that very amusing either. *FORCE CHOKE* |

While I was off in a galaxy far, far away... my fellow authors were hard at work. Here's Holly Hudspeth and her lovely family. |

It was blissfully dim in the author panel room, so most people couldn't see the fear in my eyes. Seriously, the walk to the table felt like I was headed for death row. Really though, it was more like jumping in a pool. I was nervous at first, but after I hit the water I had a blast chatting with Holly, Crissy, A.G. Howard, and everyone who showed up for the Q&A. Hopefully I can find some better pictures soon! |

With my nerves out of the way, I hit my groove and sold some books to some fantastic people. |

He wore the right colors to support my book, so I had to shake his hand! |

Spike from Cowboy Bebop got a copy after meeting me yesterday. I didn't recognize him (he was wearing facepaint and glasses yesterday) but he understood. :-) |

At the end of the day, I had to live up to my shirt. This unsuspecting reader is a student at my school. I hope she won't be too mad when she sees this! Haha. :D |
