Signing: Phoenix, AZ, on April 6th

<< < (2/2)

sftv:
I think Murphy's Stunt Double was indicating that she would be in Phoenix in June, not Jim, thus missing the signing.  For MSD, if you are a Laurell K. Hamilton fan, and in Phoenix on June 5th, The Poisoned Pen will be hosting a talk and signing by her at the Scottsdale Public Library.  That one you do have to buy a book.  http://www.poisonedpen.com/event-calendar/laurell-k-hamilton

As for Jim's signing, they will likely be doing it ticketed for the line, and the ticket you get when you buy the book.  Those that don't buy a book there are at the end of the line.  I'll see if I can find out when they will start doing the tickets.  They usually don't limit copies signed, but if you have multiples of old books, they would certainly prefer you buy the new book from them.

The stairs on the back side are for the upper level, not the book store.  Parking is somewhat limited at the store, but you can park along the side streets there.  For those of you who were there last year, they have expanded the size of the store, but it will likely still be packed since last year the fans were split between the Poisoned Pen and the Arizona  Book Festival for the most part.

Murphy's Stunt Double:
Thank you for the information, Lee, but unfortunately I won't be arriving in Phoenix until the 7th to speak at a convention the following Tuesday. Would be nice to come in earlier, but I've pretty much already stretched the playtime for this one to its limits.

There was a very good crowd at Poisoned Pen, more than they planned for.  They ended up running out to some other stores to buy books from them so they'd have enough.  (They do arrange for signings at B&N occasionally so they do have a corporate account there).  I tried to warn them that last year's crowd wasn't as big as it could have been since Jim did an appearance at the AZ Book Festival the day before.  This time it was the only appearance in town so there was a full house.

He was very funny and relaxed during the Q&A.  Nothing revealed that I can remember that hasn't already been mentioned on reports from the other Q&A's.  I did take a few pictures.  I'll hopefully get them posted on my blog in the new few days (http://sftvblog.blogspot.com)

thanks for the update.  i'll look forward to seeing the photos when I've got some time.  I called early on the 6th to confirm they had the audio book and the hard back on reserve for me.  I was a little worried when they told me they only had a couple of the audio books. So relieved they scrounged up some more copies somewhere!  Cute store, don't you think?

doh'   :'(  That's what I get for not checking the boards soon enough.  I'm sorry I missed this.
