Steps of a Dancewriter - Meeting Readers

 

Last week, Jennifer and I drove to Las Vegas to meet with Kimmie, a reader I became aquainted with via My Space. Kimmie is from New Zealand and had traveled with her dad to Vegas for a gaming convention, so we arranged to meet. She loves my books and it was a treat hanging out with her

We shopped, got lost in the maze of shops, had dinner with her delightful father and hung out until waaay late for this mother/author!! Kimmie and Jennifer hit it off wonderfully -- the two managed to fend off encroaching weirdos as we all walked along the Strip back to Bally's after dinner.

My, has Las Vegas changed.

They say it's family friendly??? What family??? Pornographic images are everywhere. Not my family, thank you very much. I had to resist the inclination to cover Jennifer and Kimmie's eyes with my hands!! ( Leaving my own uncovered YIKES )

That said, seeing Kimmie - MEETING HER - is something I will never forget and was the memorable part of the trip.

If distance makes the heart grow fonder, our hearts are VERY fond of Kimmie in New Zealand!
