The expense account amounted to whatever I thought I could afford, segueing to the fabulous hotels--which were my fabulous fellow author's homes and couches. And what about the adoring fans? We actually had NOBODY show up for the Seattle reading. <br /><br />But it truly was wonderful and great fun, even if it was on my own, personal shoestring. I think we all felt like the "real deal" and had a great time. I'd do it again--if I could afford it--which i can't.<br /><br />Ah, but the Seattle reading had one good thing going for it: I stayed at an actual hotel the night before leaving for the airport and a plane back home to NYC.D.
