I now present…. Madeleine Albright

Bet you didn’t know I was this cool (from The City Paper):

As the Borders manager said last night, apparently the writer of the Secret Society Girl books is much better connected than anyone suspected.

Thanks so much to everyone who came to the signing. A special shout-out to lurker Robin. Hi, Robin!

I read, answered questions about my books, my time at Yale, my working wardrobe (hint: pajamas) and my wedding colors, and signed books. They had a positively enormous display of Under the Roses right out front in the window. Also, I found out that when I’m not undercover as Madeleine Albright, I’m undercover as Diana Peterfruend. Check it out:

Close enough, right? I’ve learned that people have a hard time pronouncing it, no matter what way it’s spelled. Man, that poster is big. I’m so glad that the Borders employees didn’t show it to me until AFTER the signing, or I really would have had a panic attack.

Here I am with Borders publicity coordinator Stephany. (By the way, there are still some signed copies at the Rockville Borders for anyone interested in picking some up.)

And a good time was had by all.

Back to rewrites! This morning has been such a wash. First Blogger was down. Then my computer crashed. *my* computer. My Mac. Fearful, I did a huge backup, and that’s been my day so far. Pantalaimon the iBook, whatever am I going to do with you?
