Queen Illustration for the book..check out the wave!
Have you ever thought about, what does it feel like to be Queen? I would imagine a bit surreal. I mean after all, people bow to you all day, you have servants, maids, I am pretty sure you don’t wear sweats around the palace, and for Pete’s sake…you run a country!! And then, there is the wave thing, you know, the ever so graceful, beautiful, slight wave were you hardly move your arm, just your hand ever so slightly. Who taught them this, or started it in the first place? I have decided I know the answer! I believe this slight of hand wave was the work of us women years ago not to have the upper arm jiggle thing going on when you are all dressed up! Am I right? I bet you think about that the next time you are waving that arm of yours! Of course my wave is the whole arm jiggle, how are you, what’s happening thing going on, big smile, waving like a fool!
So here is my thing, by no way am I saying I am a Queen, or imagining it really, well, I take that back. I am pretty sure in my dreams I imagine the whole “maid” thing quite often, but that is about as close I get. What I am really talking about is the surreal thing. I mean really surreal. I have my first book signing and it does just seem surreal. I mean come on, a book signing…how exciting is that?? And in the company of such great Authors as Henry Winkler, Lisa See and Dean Koontz. Wow…is all I can say.
I was invited to my first book signing by the City of Mission Viejo, for their Mission Viejo Readers Festival being held next Saturday, September 12, 2009. Before I go any further, I have to say thank you to two amazing women who have helped and supported me as well as sent my invite. A big thank you to Gayle and Susan, who both work very hard for the Mission Viejo Library and are a huge part of the success of this festival. So when you see them at the festival, tell them you had a wonderful time and can’t wait for next year (and for more books from me…of course)!
So now as Queen for the day, I would like to invite the WORLD to my book signing. Yes, I said it the whole world, you are all invited. Take a plane, train, car or the subway (dq) and let me sign your book! And let’s make this a great showing, and support a great group of people at the library in Mission Viejo for all their hard work and effort. And when you get there, come by my booth and I will smile, sign your book, and wave like a fool!!
