Start Spreading the News

Tomorrow is the big day!!! I'm flying to New York for the J.K. Rowling book signing. Color me giddy. The Virginian-Pilot did a telephone interview with me yesterday for a story that will run tomorrow. They asked the usual questions:

"Are you excited?"
"Who's going with you?"
"What are you going to ask her?"
"Does it burn when you pee?"


In case any of you are wondering who I'm taking, the lucky person is Jeanne Dodd, my sister-in-law. After my daughter didn't want to go, my best friend wanted to accompany me. But all she cared about was doing some shopping. Scratched her off the list. I asked my brother if he wanted to go (especially since he is the one who got me into the books in the first place). Initially he said yes, but had t back out due to scheduling conflicts with his new job. So then I asked his wife, who loves Harry Potter as much as anyone and more importantly isn't working. She immediately agreed. She even made all the travel arrangements-bonus!!

I will post on Twitter all weekend, so you can stay updated. See you in the Big Apple!!
