Today I had the opportunity to meet Libba and she is an amazing woman. She had everyone in the store laughing from the moment she walked in until everyone left. She has a new book coming out September 22, Going Bovine, which she read the first chapter to us. I can't wait until it comes out. It sounds like it will be funny. It's not historical fiction, it is set in the modern day, but if you are not rolling on the floor laughing after the first chapter nothing will make you laugh. Here is the description from the back cover.
"All 16-year-old Cameron wants is to get through high school—and life in general—with a minimum of effort. It’s not a lot to ask. But that’s before he’s given some bad news: he’s sick and he’s going to die. Which totally sucks. Hope arrives in the winged form of Dulcie, a loopy punk angel/possible hallucination with a bad sugar habit. She tells Cam there is a cure—if he’s willing to go in search of it. With the help of a death-obsessed, video-gaming dwarf and a yard gnome, Cam sets off on the mother of all road trips through a twisted America into the heart of what matters most."
She truly loves her fans and stayed around to chat and sign books until after the store was supposed to close and would have stayed later had they let her. It was an amazing time and I would recommend anyone to read her books and take the chance to meet her if you can.
