Jenna Black’s Durham, NC Book Signing

by Georgia McBride

I finally got to meet Jenna Black and Kelly Gay this past weekend. I was a little green–of the pukish variety as I was getting over a 48-hour stomach bug. It was kinda cute when Jenna warned me that her book THE DEVIL’S PLAYGROUND (which is freaking awesome) was “not YA in the least.” She may have even joked that my daughter, 6 wouldn’t be able to read it until age 30! I got a little worried that perhaps I may not be old enough to read it. LOL. Thank God her YA GLIMMERGLASS releases in May! And, I tried to talk Kelly into getting in the photo, but she refused. Something about not being dressed for it, blah, blah, blah. Definitely not MY best photo op but–I took one for the team. I would like to think that Jenna would do the same for me. Besides, it was her day, not mine. Only minutes later, I was face-down in the bowl of the toilet of the restaurant next door. Go Jenna!
