Friday night I’m going to an event hosted by Midtown Reader, Tallahassee’s lovely independent bookstore, where authors James Patterson and Mike Lupica will be talking about their newest collaboration.
I had the opportunity to meet Mr. Patterson several years ago, and I asked him a question that was the equivalent of “how does your main character like his eggs?” I don’t recall the actual question, just that it resulted in a bewildered look on the author’s face.
And that might be why there will be no author signings this go around.
I’ve never been asked to do a book signing, but if I ever am, I’ll be able to answer even the dumbest question. Take that, Mr. Patterson. (He was very gracious, by the way. Just perplexed.)
Peace, people!

I was at a taped Q&A with Annie Lennox where the guy next to me got so flustered that he ended up implying he’s turned on by cows. I eagerly awate the day the tapes are made public!

You Rascal, you! Able to throw James Patterson off his game. I love James Patterson and his collaborations I think you should consider gifting him a boxed set of Happy Valley books. Signed by the author, of course.

I doubt I’ll have the opportunity, but maybe I should take along a set anyway…🤣

I would think that if you spent as much time with a character to write a novel, you’d know how they liked their eggs (unless of course they are vegan!).
