I attended Lara Parker's book signing in Manhattan last night. It was quite an evening!
My friend & I were on our way down to where the event was going to be when Lara and her husband Jim stopped us. She gave us huge hugs and spent close to half an hour chatting with us as she greeted people as they arrived at the store. She looked great, better than I've seen her in a while. She was quite witty too, saying this was going to be a mini Dark.Shadows Festival since that's all we've got this year. She didn't actually slam the cruise but did indicate that the cost of the cruise kept a lot of fans from going. She did confirm that there will be a Festival in Tarrytown next summer.
Marie Wallace popped in unannounced, looking fabulous. She made a complete recovery from the fall she took last year in Waterbury. She did have her shoulder replaced. She stayed through the event, taking pictures with fans and just being the Marie we all love.
Barnes & Noble did NOT order enough books. People bought multiple copies and sold out. My friend got the last one. Guess I'll have to get mine from Amazon.
Even though I didn't get the book, I'm still very glad that I went!
