Nathanielskeeper22 and I went to the book signing for "Blood Noir" today, 5/27/08. It was a great night with a lot of laughs. There were not a lot of questions asked but there were a couple of announcements. Laurell has been commissioned to write another three "Anita Blake: Novels", with the next one featuring her and Edward fighting the monsters in another location (not St. Louis). She is only about 50 pages away from finishing her nextMerry Gentry book "Swallowing Darkness" for all of you who read both novels. And she wanted to clear up any rumors that her men from the Anita books are not really real and that she isn't dating any of them (lol). I wonder who actually thought she did.


Here are some pics of the night. (sorry there are not very many pics, she kept pacing during the Q & A and it was difficult to get a clear shot.)

If you have any questions about the signing or you would like a better picture of what the shirt is, drop me a line and I will try to answer them.
