Yay! Kathy Tyers autographed my book!!!!

The title is fairly self-explanatory...but (yay!) all the same. I've been a fan of Kathy Tyers' books since reading Firebird last year--which at least partially influenced the name of my gmail account. On her website (http://www.kathytyers.com/) she graciously offered to autograph books, so I sent off my copy a couple weeks ago along with a little note. She actually answered my letter with an entire typed page! Hehe! I danced a happy jig!!
If you're at all interesting in sci-fi/speculative fiction, I would definitely recommend her books. Shivering World--another favorite--is excellent, abet very intense and a trifle confusing at first. It escapes classification, at once a mystery, but also a bit sci-fi with a dash of romance--altogether a very winsome combination. Although I haven't read them, Mrs. Tyers is also known for her two Star Wars books: The Truce at Bakura and Balance Point.
Some photos of me, ridiculous with excitement and sporting a pronounced winter look--no? ;-)


PS--The fuzzy thing in the corner of the photos is our Christmas tree.
