Book signing

I did my first book signing at Anahuac Middle School today. Wow! Was it fun! Thanks to all of them for being so nice to me. Can't wait to hear from them after they read it.

I don't consider myself to be a "normal" writer. Unlike most writers, I didn't have a clue that I even wanted to write until I was almost 30. I wasn't exactly a total slacker in school, but I was definitely a reluctant reader. I only read what I had to. I didn't see any reason to read when I could dream. I lived to daydream--which is why I was such a mediocre student. Then, when I was 26 years old, my sister got me started reading Victoria Holt novels, and I began to realize that what my teachers had always said was true, Reading Is Fun! The more I read, the more I daydreamed, making up stories in my head. Finally I decided to just do it, write books. Now, here I am, fifteen years later (if you've been keeping up with the math you will probably figure out that I am ancient) publishing my first novel for young adults. I'm sure that since I never learned to stop daydreaming, I'll never stop writing.
