[dc]T[/dc]hings got a bit goofy between Jim C. Hines and I at the Delta Township District Library’s Local Author Fair on Tuesday evening.

Empty calories, I’m sure. Photo by Steph.

Yes, Jim (author of Libriomancer, The Stepsister Scheme, and the Jig the goblin series) decided to photobomb me while Stephanie snapped away. Bless him. This is probably the only photo of me laughing in existence. Cherish it, people. It belongs in a museum.

At first I wasn’t sure if Jim would want this photo online, but then I remembered his Cover Poses photo series (an amazing project).

On the business side of thing, I parted ways with minicomics, novels, and business cards over the course of the evening. I chatted with visitors of all ages, and talking to kids about my book is always fun. I also met some other local authors, including Ruth McNally Barshaw, author and artist of the Ellie McDoodle series.

Chatting with Jim and Ruth is why I love attending cons and shows: being around my fellow creative folks always puts me in a good mood.
