Blown Away at Murder by the Book!

Dear Readers,
I have been joking this whole book tour, "Has anybody ever died on a book tour?" Now I don't mean having nary a soul show up at the bookstore but literally, die! Bit the dust, met their maker, met St. Peter at the pearly gates kind of died! Think of the book sales!
As I have been running the roads through state by state on this worldwide book tour with my Pulpwood Queen Posse', we have decided if we are going down, we're going out sliding full blown with a margarita in one hand and a chocolate bar in another. I mean 51 is tough you all as it is and I have a new appreciation for authors on book tour. I have always bowed to their feet but honey, now I'm kissing their feet too. WOO WEE, do they still make GERITOL!
So when we arrived at Murder and the Book following our incredible dinner, (see above) at The Raven it was dark and so were we.
We did the event as usual to a very nice crowd but at the very end after I did my Big Hair Makeover Grand Finale on the winner, Anita K. Thompson, I whipped out my Magnum gun blow dryer and pretended to shoot myself. Down I went as the girls searched for chalk to outline my body.
We all had a good laugh you see as The Pulpwood Queens make reading fun. Murder by the Book was a blast! We had Head Queen of the Pulpwood Queens of Northwest Houston, LeTricia Wilbanks in attendance along with a couple of her members, Alicia Day and Julie Galfour. I met Marie Christopher of the Texas Ramblers (Rambling Roses), Official Chapter of the Red Hat Society. Kim Call introduced herself and it ends up she actually attended part of her 5th grade at Mulberry School in my hometown and birthplace, Eureka, Kansas. She even had purchased the Ward McGinnis home there in Eureka! She stayed later and we talked of Eureka. Lots of interesting folks and ones very much wanting to join the Pulpwood Queens! We hope that we can do just that and continued after hugs and goodbyes to the marvelous bookstore hosts, David and McKenna! We certainly hope that we will be invited back to this incredible bookstore that truly is one of the most passionate stores I have ever visited! They not only talk the talk, they walk the walk. I left with a whole book bag of mysteries!
Check it out when in Houston and you will not be disappointed. View the wonderful ravens and murder mystery decorations throughout the shops shelves. It is no mystery that their store is one of the best bookstores in the south!
