I missed my first chance of getting Sherrilyn Kenyon’s autograph a few years back at ComicCon. I don’t quite remember if Mysterious Galaxy was holding the signing or she was doing it herself or the publisher had arranged it.
The next year, she was back but no free books were given out and the line was hundreds of people deep. I didn’t have the time to wait, which is also the norm at ComicCon.
When I found out she was coming to my home town for a signing I was very excited. I knew she was doing a lecture or reading so I planned on arriving late (sorry Sherrilyn – nothing personal).
It was obvious while I was standing in line she has a loyal following of readers. People brought bags of books for her to sign. A few fan even dressed up.
I didn’t really belong. I haven’t read her books (again Sherrilyn – sorry) and her fans were mostly women. Surprisingly they were not young teens but adults; a sign that there is some depth to the characters and plot.
The line went fast and when I got up there I asked if she was going to be at ComicCon this year. She asked if I was attending also and when I told her I hoped to and she gave me a high five.
