Are always to be found between the hooves of horses
For never will cowards fall down there.'

Yes! Sorry, I was so wiped last night when I got home that I didn't post. Not only did I meet Sharon (actually re-meet) but met Diana and Dana as well. It wasn't a reading in the usual sense, but more a discussion of their books and their upcoming projects. I didn't realize that the owner of PP is an author as well, and I really enjoyed the give and take the four women did on their books. They were all very funny . (Diana reminded me very much of a friend of mine, even her voice was the same, and the same sense of humor. I really am going to have to try her books again. ) Most of what Sharon said was what she has posted here - but I was surprised how much she had to sell Devil's Brood to her publisher. I would have loved to have spent another hour or so just listening. Decent crowd, who seemed to be having as much fun as the authors were!
On a side note, I arrived early and so wandered around old town Scottsdale, which I haven't done for a long time. Since it was late afternoon, there weren't many tourists, and I enjoyed window shopping, and stopping to get an ice cream at my favorite shop. All in all a very enjoyable afternoon/evening (esp after the four hour staff meeting previously that day)
edit - btw, I mentioned to a few folk about this site and got some interest. Have you guys ever thought about book marks or cards to hand out at events like this?
