I did it! I went to the author meet at my library and got to meet Brad Thor. 
I got my book (courtesy of Ben & Kristy!) autographed, and I took a picture so I could prove to you that I went. 
I was nervous, and naturally Darc had to give me a hard time because I was looking for decent shoes to wear, and I put on make-up. “Doin’ the fangirl thing for the author man?” he quipped?
“Uh, no, I just don’t want to look like trailer trash.”
“Well, those shoes are in the wrong direction, they scream trailer trash.”
So I put the sequined sandals away with a sigh.
It was an entertaining adventure. Mr. Thor was engaging and funny. He told stories of writing and researching – for instance, he told a story of going to Afghanistan to research a book and how the Special Ops team he went with wouldn’t let him wear sunglasses. He spoke a little on what his latest book is about, whetting our appetites. After speaking, he answered questions for a while, then signed books for those of us who came.
He was nominated for Best Thriller of the Year award at Thrillerfest last night, and I think that’s pretty cool. Seriously, if you’re looking for some edge of your seat reading about a real American Hero, Brad Thor is the writer for you.
And if you ever read this Mr. Thor, thank you for an enjoyable, and fun, afternoon.

But did you get him to sign a Thor comic book?
Oh darn, I knew I forgot to bring something!

Yeah – most people don’t know that Brad is the god of thunder’s first name.
Another little known fact – his father’s name is Greg Odin. And his little brother is named Barnard Loki.
No longer little known facts, since you’ve just told the world.

And his sprawling country estate of Valhalla?

Actually, it’s a time share condo. Don’t tell.

Time share! HAHAHAHAHAHA. That struck me as really funny this afternoon.

Yay! I’m so glad you went
I would have worn the sequined sandals though. What does DK know a bout fashion? Sequins are *in*!
See? I should have gotten a female opinion!
Thank you for making my afternoon possible.

LOL, Bryce!
Fal, did you get a picture WITH him? So glad you had a good time!
No, no pics with him – not sure how his bodyguards would have reacted to that, plus there were rows of folks behind me who wanted their books signed and I didn’t want to take up extra time. He might post pics on his Twitter though, like he did with the Houston signing.
