Though The Secret Life of a Teenage Siren is soon approaching its one year anniversary, last night was my first guest author appearance at a ladies' book club meeting. I have to admit I was a tad nervous. Would I spend the evening stuffed in a corner, listening mutely to their high intensity debates about my book? What if they hated it? And while I feel very comfortable presenting to teenagers at schools and other writers at conferences, I wasn't sure what to expect with a group of adult readers.
I'm glad to report it was a major success. I got to meet new people and eat a variety of delicious foods, all while answering questions about how I managed to become a published author, how I got the idea of writing about a modern-day teenaged Siren, and how I balance my writing with raising three little boys. The best part was getting to hear what they liked most about the story.

VERY cool, Wendy! Sounds like it was a good time.
Bravo, Wendy, for stepping out of that comfort zone. I'm glad you enjoyed the experience. Your talk sounds like it was an interesting one! :-)
Thanks for commenting, Niki and Debbie. :)
Sounds like a great time! I once had the honor of being invited to sit in on a conference call for a book club discussion of EMILY GOLDBERG, but the email got trapped in my spam filter and I didn't get it until AFTER the meeting. I am assured that it went well. :)
