This weekend for the first time, I was a participating author in the LA Times Book Fair held at the gorgeous UCLA campus.
I shared a tent with other authors from Premiere Writers, a Ning Social Network site for authors. All of them were simply great people; very warm and engaging. We worked in shifts (one in the morning and one in the afternoon) and in our free time I walked around the campus with my hubby, attracting a lot of attention with my medieval costume.
On several occasions I had complete strangers (mostly college age students) come up to me in groups and ask to take a photo with me. It was so fun! It was the next best thing to being a Disney Princess!
The weather could not have been more gorgeous and though I am exhausted and my house is a mess, it was a really neat experience to take part in. It wasn’t too bad having a picture taken with “William Shakespeare” either!

Wow! I love your outfit! =D Sounds like fun! It must be so flattering, having people come up and ask for a picture with you! William Shakespeare?!?! No way! *wink* ;D
Love,

Hi Eldarwen! It was a total thrill. Hopefully, one of these days, by some miracle, people will wait in a line to have me autograph copies of my book for them. One can always dream, right?
Love the costume!!!
