THE CITY: Cincinnati, OH
THE STORE: Joseph-Beth Book Sellers
Thevent is the YA Beach Blast, an annual event sponsored by Joseph-Beth's!!
What I remember most about the one time I have been to this store is that I was really tired, but we were an hour's drive away from my hotel and I assured my media escort that I would be fine. And I wandered off and found a bench with a padded seat and took a nap.:D I was fine.;) Nonetheless, I am excited to go back and to remember something other than a secret nap in a strange corner.
THE AUTHORS:
This is the only event for next week that I did not organize and invite all the authors. So several of them I've never met. So excuse the sparse bios below--I'm sure I will be able to write much more about them after I meet them!
Mindee Arnett:
Mindee is the author of The Nightmare Affair and she has pretty blue streaks!!!
Liz Coley:
Liz is the author of Pretty Girl 13 which I SO can't wait to read!!!
Julie Kagawa:
Julie is one of my fellow faerie authors!!!!! She is the creator of the hugely popular Iron Fey series and though I have had several close brushes, I haven't yet managed to meet her and I am super-excited to finally get that chance!
Kristina McBride:
Okay, I admit, I had a funny moment when I Googled for a picture of Kristina. I was like, um, there are a couple pf people here. I finally realized the other frequent face was Martina McBride. So let's be very clear on which one we have here. This is KRIStina McBride and she is the author of The Tension of Opposites, and One Moment. I don't know if she sings at all.;)
Saundra Mitchell:
Saundra is one of my bestest author friend ever and the main reason I was invited to do Beachy Reads at Jo Beth. So, yeah, it's her fault that I'm there. Saundra is the author of Shadowed Summer, The Elementals Trilogy, the upcoming Mistwalker, and the fab editor of the anthology Defy The Dark (which I have a story in!:D)
THE CUPCAKES:
Ooooh-kay, I am totally going to bunt on this one. This tour stop is not of my making, and is not part of the Girls' Night Out Tour. But IF there are leftover cupcakes from the Charlotte, NC stop, and IF I have room for them in my carry-on bag, I will bring a few cupcakes from The Polka Dot Bakeshop with me to Cincinnati. And IF you mention having seen this news here on my blog, tell me at the signing and IF I have any cupcakes leftover, I will give you one. (I know that sounds like a lot of IF's, but I do intend to have about five.)
THE DETAILS:
YA Beach Blast!

Hi Aprilynne! I'm excited to come and meet you for the first time on tour- I'll be driving up to the Mesa signing on Monday night (while my darling hubbie watches the kiddos back in Tucson!) I hope you won't mind if I ask you some questions about writing-- I am an LDS mom, teacher, & fledgling author and have LOVED reading your blog & and the Wings series. I will bring you my favorite cupcake recipe in exchange for your words of wisdom! Check out my blog if you have a minute (cuz I know you have so much free time!) www.JillEmmons.com-- thanks!
I can't make it to the beach blast as I live in Illinois, but I just finished Earthbound and wanted you to know that I loved it and can't wait for the next one. I am dying to get to know Logan. I think he is going to be awesome. :)
