The Winner of THE FAIRYTALE TRAP by Emily Casey

Thank you to everyone who stopped by to chat with Emily and enjoy the blog tour! It was wonderful having you all here. You picked some crazy fairy tales to get trapped in (Bluebeard? Really???), but that's okay, I'm letting a random number generator pick the winner.

Each person who commented was given one entry, numbers correspond to the order of commentary, Emily does not get to win a copy of her own book (sorry, Em) so her comments were not numbered...

And the winner is IASA!

Send me an email so I can send out your book. :o)

Still want a free copy? The next stop on Emily's tour is KAT'S BLOG, be sure to stop by for another chance to win, and for a free tutorial on how to make a Book Trailer.

Meeting Emily Casey

Emily Casey (THE FAIRYTALE TRAP) and Me on New Year's Eve 2012

Forgive the terrible lighting, and the blur, I need a new camera...

I'm an extrovert. I know you never would have guessed that from spending five minutes near my (over-active) Twitter feed, but I am. This explains why I love meeting new people, especially new people who understand that peculiar brand of insanity that comes with writing. Admit it, anyone who encourages the voices in their head is just a little out of touch with reality.

I ran into Emily on Twitter, and it turns out that she and a few other authors I chat with regularly live in the same general area I do! Go me!

After some arm twisting (and a promise of fireworks) I convinced her to come over with her family for New Year's Eve. So! Much! Fun!

The party was kid-safe, but still crazy with five families and fifteen kids running loose. We had two authors, a would-be author who hasn't committed yet, a psychologist, and an avid reader all running loose. We discussed books, lots of books.

Authors really do make the best friends. :o)

And, yes, I am THAT short. I wasn't joking when I said I was tiny!

Have you ever met an author in person? Was it at a signing? A convention? At a local restaurant? Were they as awesome in person as you hoped?
