Last night, as I may or may not have said in my last posts, last night I went to listen to an author speak. Anyone who knows me will have noticed that I can rarely be seen without a novel, a notebook or both. And if they haven't noticed... they need their eyes tested.
Anyway, I'm very obviously a writer as well as a reader, and I was thrilled and excited to hear in the school notices that author Lauren Kate was giving a talk locally on Wednesday night. And that it only cost $2 to go to.
Those of you who don't actually know who I mean by Lauren Kate: I'm talking about the author of The Betrayal of Natalie Hargrove, which was her first (and less known novel). No; she's an international best-selling author now, with her books translated into over thirty languages. That's one hell of a lot. I'd say you've probably heard of her highly popular series (you get let off not knowing if you're not a teenage girl), Fallen? The series consists of three books so far: Fallen, Torment and Passion, with a fourth book coming next June called Rapture.
Obviously, I went to the talk. I bought a copy of Fallen beforehand and got it signed afterwards. I stayed behind and talked to her for a little while after everyone else had left and got some photos! It was really cool getting the chance to say hi to her and getting my book signed!
Anyone who hasn't actually read the Fallen series yet, and likes books that are a bit dark, paranormal with a few teaspoons of romance, they will be the best additions to your bookshelf ever. And if you needed any more reasons to go pick them up: Disney has the rights to make them into movies and the script is almost done!
Happy reading!!
