Fio had a wonderful time at the RWA meeting Tuesday night. Author Sherry Thomas presented a program on query letters and agent pitch sessions. Fio volunteered to be the example of the bad pitcher.
First came the costume--flip-flops, shorts, an over-sized tee, chewing gum, and, the piece de resistance--a Goofy hat. Fio told Sherry her pen name was Nora Robert (without the S, get it?), that she hadn't written a word but the story was all in her head, recited a plot that came straight from one of Sherry's own books, and was generally obnoxious, ending the charade by nuzzling up to her interviewer and asking her if she'd ever "done it" with a woman.
It was fun. Fio had been a little nervous beforehand, wondering if she'd get stage fright and not be able to think on her feet, but once the greasepaint began to smell and the crowd began to roar, she was in top form.
I guess it's obvious Fio spent her formative years in Baylor Children's Theater.
