Pam Grier will be reading and signing her autobiography Foxy: My life In Three Acts at Borders Buckhead in Atlanta,GA. June 16th at 7:30pm. I loved Foxy and I am ready to fan gush.Which means all my words will be jumbled or I will forget how to speak all together. I always enjoying going to booksignings and working them. As a fan, I love getting a chance to meet authors whose work I enjoy. As a bookseller I get a thrill out of watching customers meet authors they like. For some its an event. They drove a long way and its the first signing they've ever been to. So its pretty cool to watch them leave happy with an autograph and a picture.Three authors I loved meeting. Valarie Boyd, who wrote Wrapped in Rainbows. A biography on Zora Neale Hurston. Laura Lippman, a mystery author. I've been to two of her signings. Sarah Dessen a young adult author. All three were very nice and I was happy to be there.
I never had a bad experience with an author until a few months ago. I don't expect a conversation but a halfway decent hello would've been nice. It was a real let down. Their indifference was just plan ugly. In the end that's what really got me, they couldn't even bothered to fake it. I didn't want to keep the book and be reminded of that moment, so I gave it away about five blocks later.
