I enjoyed it much -- it was almost like being there! Oh, and I don't think your grin is cheesy - when you smile, it lights up your face, making your smile one of your most valued assets... It will be interesting to compare your next author talk with your first one. I am thrilled the first one was such a success! You needed some good stuff happen to you, with all that you are going through....george allwynnnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8198581514056172349.post-18411392412507964412010-11-03T06:52:38.000-04:002010-11-03T06:52:38.000-04:00[...] This post was mentioned on Twitter by James ...[...] This post was mentioned on Twitter by James Garcia Jr, C.J.

Oh, sorry, I was channeling Anne of Green Gables.<br><br>But, congrats on the speaking engagement. Treasure it because of lot of Jersey girls' idea of a speaking engagement is answering detectives' questions.<br><br>Hope you do let success go to your head and don't forget us little people on your way to the top.Gregory Marshall Smithhttp://devereauxmarshallfox.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8198581514056172349.post-60999053593498771972010-11-03T08:38:06.000-04:002010-11-03T08:38:06.000-04:00Thanks for sharing, C.J.

I'm taking mental notes on all of this trailblazing stuff that you are doing in order to make certain that I maintain the high standard that you are setting!! Seriously though, as writers, we dream about one day having the opportunities that you are having right now. It is making it easier for the rest of us to picture us in the same position.

LMAO!! Is it okay if I take the cool corner office when she finally catches up to you and "brains" you with something heavy? I promise to leave up all of your wall decorations.

I'm afraid to admit that has happened to me a time or two, but it was never my fault, I swear.C.J.

It may work. <br><br>Truly "selling" myself when I'm up in front of a group, never would have thought I'd be doing it with my own work and not for a company.
