(The first person was Tanya Huff, and for this, I potentially owe her a kidney.) I mean, really, the only thing that could make Kelley better would be for her to suddenly become local.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.borderlands-books.com/">OH WAIT WHAT'S THIS?</a> Kelley Armstrong will be appearing at San Francisco's own Borderlands Books tonight at seven? The best bookstore in the world has one of my favorite authors ever? Also one of my mother's favorite authors** ever? Is there anything about this which is not TOTAL WIN?<br /><br />No. There is not. I hope to see you there, and remember, you can always contact the store to request signed/personalized books, because they are JUST THAT AWESOME.<br /><br />Whee!<br /><br />(*Okay, maybe not <i>all</i> good things, but since Canada gives me Brooke, Tanya, Urban Tapestry, Coffee Crisp bars, and <i>ReGenesis</i>, as well as the production of ninety percent of the television I love, I'm willing to give them some extra credit for awesome.)<br /><br />(**Mom goes Jim Hines, Kelley Armstrong, me. When I eventually slay Jim and Kelley*** on the field of battle, this will be why.)<br /><br />(***Accidental <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portmanteau">portmanteaus</a> of Jim and Kelley include "Kim" and "Jelley." I now want to write a series of YA stories about Kim and Jelly, UNDERWORLD EXPLORERS. They would have wild adventures and wear silly hats. Kim is from a secret steampunk under-society built beneath the sewers of San Francisco, using the 1906 earthquake as cover. Jelly is a clone-construct originally intended as an organ farm for his creator. They probably fight crime.)
