I swoon!) I’m In The Papers, Maįirst off, it was surreal to be at my hotel in Decatur and look over at a USA Today - in print - and see my big dumb face staring back. Which is completely head-breaking to me in the best way possible. (For much of the weekend, actually, the book was the number one novel across all of Amazon.

It’s really nice to see because Star Wars is a beloved thing to me, and having a little acreage of actual canon to cultivate is a dream come true. The online response has been exciting, too - so many folks tweeting at me or emailing me or FACEYBOOKING me about how much they dig it. It was overwhelming in the best way possible. Also Luke dies in the book seven times.) Did an interview with the awesome Bryan Young and also with bad-ass drinker-of-foe-tears Donna Dickens at HitFix. Oh, and sorry, Bria, that I can’t tell you ANY SECRETS. Big ups to them for making me feel welcome and just generally being a hoot to hang with. (Actually, all the folks from Tosche Station were a blast. I got to do a really rad Aftermath panel with bad-ass moderator Nanci Schwartz of Tosche Station fame.

I had people come up to me randomly to get me to sign their book. The launch continued through the weekend, and being at DragonCon for it was like being at Ground Zero for the Joyous Nerd Bomb. There I got to connect with a passel of fans new and old, and meet rad folks from various corners of Star Wars fandom, and just generally have fun signing books and oh yeah maybe buying myself a remote control BB-8 and a Force Awakens LEGO Millennium Falcon. I flew down to DragonCon and the Decatur Bookfest for the weekend - both of which were amazing, by the way, and each the polar opposite of one another - and on Thursday night headed over to the Edgewood Barnes & Noble for an Aftermath launch event. So, hey, uhhh - *clears throat* - anything going on, you guys?Ī little book called STAR WARS: AFTERMATH came out.
