Here is your change to mention any author encounters you have had. This includes virtual or real. I included some of my encounters at BEA (from 2 years ago) last week. I also have met in person Elizabeth Scott and Raina Telegmeier at my library. Virtually, I "met" Jane Yolen, Melanie H Greenberg, Elizabeth Dulemba and Roxie Munro. Also I have met virtually, Sabrina Jeffries, Julia Quinn and Eloisa James.
Just to add Thursday's topic next week will be a miscellaneous topic. Feel free to talk about whatever you like!

This was probably the 2000 conference in Chicago. My boss and I were in line for lunch at the Conrad Hilton. I look at Sara. Sara looks at me. There was a famous (infamous really) author behind us.
ReplyDeleteWe did nothing, after all even icons deserves peace. When the host asked if anyone had a reservation, our favorite author said, "I do." Ever the professional, he asked her name. "Blume" (we were all thinking, as in Judy). That was JUDY BLUME. Everyone in line bonded. When the host came back he said, "That was JUDY BLUME! I love Judy Blume." Then the host said, "I see a lot of famous people, but that one was cool."
Thank you Judy Blume for being you. For standing behind us in line and writing great books. I think most authors are just regular people. But, That was JUDY BLUME!
