I met fellow Little, Brown author Kami Garcia Friday night on the final stop of her “Beautiful Creatures” book tour. I carpooled with “Breathing” author Cheryl Renee Herbsman up to Santa Rosa, Calif. to the fantastic bookstore Copperfields where Kami and her co-author and best friend Margaret Stohl delighted audiences with their hilarious and self-deprecating tales of writing a 600-page book on a double dog dare from their kids. Here’s a picture of Kami, Cheryl, author and marketing expert Gabriel Paul and me. If you haven’t read “Beautiful Creatures” yet, go do it! And if you want to read “Breathing,” come back later this week because I’ll be giving away a signed copy!
