 HOLY BATS THE GOTHIC CHARM SCHOOL BOOK HAD ITS TENTH ANNIVERSARY ON SUNDAY!

Ten years. Still in print!

And because this is the place where I vagueblog about this type of stuff (and people who know what I'm vagueblogging about, if you post a comment, please keep those vague, too): 

That year was amazing, both good and bad. I published a book! I went on a book tour! I also got laid off from my full-time job at MSFT, had a breast cancer scare, skirted the edge of a nervous breakdown, and some other poor life choices that went along with the almost nervous breakdown. But when all was said and done, the good outweighed the bad.

 Ten years. I now get approached by people in their early-to-mid 20s who tell me that my writing changed their lives. And every time that happens, I try not to cry, because that's a thing I never would have expected to happen in my life.

Remember that vampire scholarly conference I posted about yesterday? The one that I really wish I could attend? I downloaded the schedule and looked at it, just for amusement.

LOOK AT THE OPENING TALK!!

Plenary: Gothic Charm School, or, How Vampires Learned to Sparkle - Dr. Catherine Spooner

I'm sure it has nothing to do with MY Gothic Charm School. But still! Oh, I am so amused. (Even if I am very much on record stating that vampires. Do. NOT. Sparkle.)

I need to find a contact for the author, so I can write her and say I wish I could be there for her talk.
