It’s apparent from your own pictures that you’re very attractive as well and that must certainly help when people come to get a book from you or the author, Gina, you mentioned. How much does this mean for a writer? Obviously your writing still has to be good, but what do us “Plain Jane” authors do to publicize ourselves more when we can’t fall back on natural beauty like so many of the people you mentioned here from BEA. Are looks a hindrance when trying to write in a certain genre? Do you advice writers who get bought to do a makeover, lose weight, get a tummy tuck to hide the three kids you’ve birthed? (ha!) It’s certainly something I fear since I’m anything but glamorous (my husband and kids think I am, of course.) You talk so much here about fellow writers’ appearances and how beautiful they are.

AND I already have the ARC you're getting this week. So nyah nyah nyah ;)<br/><br/>I got to meet Diana yesterday and I have to say that she's absolutely gorgeous and charming in person. I can't wait to find some time to read Secret Society Girl! <br/><br/>Of course, if I had that third copy and a hoodie, I could still build that baby gate and use the hoodie as a curtain to decorate the gate made of ARCs (I have enough from BEA that I could probably build two baby gates, actually). *smirking at May* all those books…and I STILL don’t have a freakin’ copy

*pout*

Glad you had a great time!
