I was talking with Leslie about this in another thread about how I'd like to use pictures of my signed books as screen savers. Here are three of the ones I want to use. I may retake them to make them look better.    |

You got Kim Harrison's autograph!!!! I am jealous. She came to Vegas, but I missed her by a month. (I was in hyper artist mood, creating models of buildings). The stab to the heart was the fact that her signing was at the library down the street from my house. (sniff)

This is from her Outlaw Tour last March Reading to us  "Guy and Kim"  Me, Kim, and Guy  I have all of her books in hard back now and will get the last 3 signed, plus the new one White Witch, Black Curse once it's released. I also have this from Vicki(Showgirl) Petterson I nicknamed her that and it stuck hehe.  The front It's a card board represntation of the cover of her book  The back side of it  Her nickname for me is Vampydoodles. I haven't met her yet but she does live in Vegas and has done several signings at the Clark County Library. |

I have not read her books yet. I have wanted to go to one of her signings at the air base, but I missed that since I had to leave for school.

I think you'll like it. I am a very active member of her forum. Jeaniene Frost is also a regular there. We all have a pretty good time there. Tonight is our on line True Blood Viewing party. We talk in the forum chat room during and after the show. I am the token male. http://vickipettersson.proboards51.com/index.cgi |

Around Christmas time, I am hoping the DVD will be released.

Well the second to the last show was really intense, especially for those of us that already read the books. We knew who the new character was so we're all yealing in chat "No don't do it ruuuuuuunnnnnn!!!"
It was fun next week we will be sad, it will be the last new one until the second season starts.

Yep, it's a inside joke with us.(I sound so pretentious I don't mean to. hehe)
When I first met Vicki on the Barns and Nobles book club forum we were talking about how language evolves. She said back in the day macaroni was similar to saying cool
When ever we'd say macaroni we meant cool.. it is also when she started calling me Vampy-doodles and I started calling her Showgirl
I started calling her that because for 10 years before she was published, she was a Vegas showgirl. She was born there and still lives there with her hubby and kidlet.

I actually looked it up and it doesn't really mean cool but she thinks it does and I didn't have the heart to tell her. It's real meaning is more like flashy fool or pompous I think. In the way it's used in the Yankee Doodle song, it could be used as cool I guess. She always refers to her son as the kidlet. I just found this interview of her...it's very good. |

She even sounds like the little mermaid. She's really a great person and we all love her. I have managed to start several naming conventions at her site.
I was the first to call her Showgirl.. I am about the only one that does on a regular basis, I started calling her female lead Jolivia for reasons that become clear in the first book and her third book is Touch of Twilight (ToT) I started callin it tater(ToT). It caught on to her dismay hehe.

LOL tater (ToT). If I had a preference, I'd stick with showgirl ;-p
Congrats on your Kindle arriving!!! Geez, stay away from the boards for a few days and I missed 13 pages of conversation! |

I just saw this thread...I loved the interview. She has a strong character about herself, very confidant in herself.
Vamp, I didn't know your name was Bob.
Now, I can just add this to the 60 books on my reading list to get to and try it out.
Would authors please stop writting so I can catch up on all this reading!

I was just killing time waiting for a phone call, saw this post and thought I’d drop in some trivia: The term ‘macaronied’ is an archaic term that was used in the British army to mean wearing braid and ribbons for parades and special events. The ditty, Yankee Doodle, implies that Minutemen (American soldiers during the Revolution) were too poor for braid and ribbons so they stuck a feather in their caps and called it macaroni. Jeff |
