Kim Lenox – Blog

I had the best weekend in Richardson, Texas, at the Buns & Roses Romance Literacy Tea. What a great way to celebrate the release of NIGHT FALLS DARKLY!

I and all the other Buns & Roses authors started off at Borders off Preston Road in Plano for a booksigning. I was fortunate enough to have a signing table between the beautiful Candace Havens, who is always a hoot (check out her latest, CHARMED & READY), and Laura Griffin, whose romantic suspense books so intrigued me, I picked them up for myself. We all signed piles o’ books, and met a lot of fantastic romance readers! A big thank you to all the staff at Borders — you made us feel like rock stars.

The Tea itself was fantastic, with gorgeous tables and decorations, and Sherrilyn Kenyon as the keynote speaker. She gave a beautiful, very touching and heartfelt speech. We all cried, and felt very proud to be writers and readers.

And no offense to all those other authors’ tables full of readers, but … Kim Lenox had the BEST TABLE EVER! What a great bunch of ladies. I had the best time visiting with them and talking about books, and life and everything.

Thanks also to my new reader friend for giving me Bear (as in a 2008 Buns & Roses Bear). He is already fitting in here with my other animals.
All in all, we had an unforgettable afternoon, the hours flew by too fast, and we raised a lot of money for the Richardson Library’s literacy programs.

Here’s a few pictures from the booksinging that took place after the Tea.
