TLA Addendum (aka TLC is a Stalker)

In my main post about my trip to TLA in Fort Worth, I totally forgot to mention the Most Important Thing I did! If you've followed my blog... or met me... or seen me on Twitter or Facebook... you should know that my favorite YA author is Jaclyn Moriarty.

Now, I've met a lot of YA authors over the years, but Jaclyn lives in Australia. AUSTRALIA! So I've never had the chance to be in even the same hemisphere as her.

Until TLA!

I arranged my travel so I could stay late enough on Friday to attend her official signing at 2:00pm. By 11:00am I had staked out my spot at a table within sight of her signing aisle.

I was first in line.

They only had two of her books available, but I bought them both. (And, yes, I got an extra one to giveaway here on the blog.)

Finally, after many long years of obsessing admiration, I got to meet Jaclyn Moriarty.


I don't think I made TOO MUCH of an idiot of myself. *fangirl squeal*
