Hey GCReaders!
So last night I got together with both Maria and Wanda and we went to St. Martins Press for a special meet and greet with author, Amanda Hocking. We really didn't know what to expect, but it turned out to be a really good evening. We learned a lot about Hocking's journey from being a self-published author, to signing with a publishing company. She told us a lot about the ups and downs of self-publishing, and the difference now that she is with St. Martins Press. She was really nice and also shared with us how her life has changed.
The people at St. Martins Press were super nice and very accommodating. They had snacks and drinks out for us, and they also gave us all three books in Amanda Hocking's Trylle series. They even gave us an extra set to share with one of our followers. Amanda Hocking signed all of our books, including the set to giveaway.
Here are some photo's from last night. Maria isn't in any because she was the one taking the photos lol.
There were a couple of other bloggers there and it was really nice meeting them and talking to them. I had a blast and as you all know, I loved Switched so this was a nice treat for me. You can find my review here: http://www.goodchoicereading.com/2011/12/review-switched-by-amanda-hocking.html

I first read Amanda Hocking's books on my Nook (big surprise), and I love them. I didn't read the Trylle series at first, but I loved her My Blood Approves books. Then I decided to give her Trylle series a chance, and I LOVE them.
ReplyDeletePretty sure I read them all in a week. I would LOVE to have the whole series in hard copy.
Wow, all three books. Just like the best christmas present ever. Thanks for the chance to win. GFC follower: Chris Bails. Facebook follower:Chris Bails. Email follower: Chris Bails
