Some pictures from my first Fairy Tale Lust reading Friday night at Bean There Cafe in Norfolk, Virginia. It was a lovely evening with champagne, fairy tale cake, chocolate, a signature “Lusty Latte” (dark chocolate, cherry and amaretto), body painting by Jeff Edney Studios and a lively and supportive crowd of friends and strangers.
I read Charlotte Stein’s deliciously spooky “The Return” and my own demonic “In the Dark Woods.” I was in a dark mood, apparently.

That is so cool. You look so cool. And HOMG, you read out my story?? My story has been read out somewhere! Oh, I wish I lived in America.
Comment by Charlotte Stein on Monday, July 12, 2010 Oh wow. What an amazing evening that must have been! Great photos!
Comment by Saskia on Tuesday, July 13, 2010 Oh, that looks lovely!
Yay Kristina!
Comment by Janine Ashbless on Tuesday, July 13, 2010 Thanks, all!
Charlotte, “The Return” was a big hit. And I gave away a copy of FTL to the first person who could name the main character. 
(Seems people really were paying attention!)
