My Night With Kresley & Paul

I decided to live a little and take the day off of work yesterday to drive to New Orleans for the Kresley Cole Lothaire signing. And I am so glad I did. It was a fantastic experience.

Kresley Cole was so funny and so sweet. She talked about how dear the Valkyries are to her heart. She joked about how much she is enjoying her time on the bus with cover model Paul Marron. And she made my heart happy by saying the Lanthe and Thronos story will more than likely be a full-length novel.

Of course, I have to mention the eye candy portion of the evening. Paul Marron was sooo nice. He was respectful and charming. (He held the door open for my friend.) He answered rude questions (like the one from the lady who asked him if he was gay.) And he dealt with women of all sizes, ages, and levels of intoxication as they drooled over him. One exceptionally drunk woman begged him to grab her tits for a photo.  He obliged. (No. It wasn't me.)

Paul was patient when my stupid camera wouldn't work and I stood there wrapped around him for a good minute or two. --And while I was there, I couldn't help but notice how slender he is in person. I didn't get his clothes off, but we did spend some quality time together.

Topping off all of this, I got to meet some of my Twitter/ blogging friends like Rachel from Parajunkee, Vanessa the Jeep Diva, Trish (Pickyme), and Patti from Caught in a FAB Romance. I apologize for any, er, inappropriate behavior brought on by my five glasses of champagne. (Let's just pretend that part didn't happen.)

All in all, it was a fantastic night. Kresley & Paul were both amazing. A big, big thanks to them both for providing such a great experience for fans.
