After saying “hi” and giving not nearly enough thanks to the people responsible for all the amazing preparations, I read the first chapter of Eclipse. There was lots of excited cheering, and I inferred from all the happy smiles in view that I was the only person in the room at that exact moment in time who was abjectly terrified. The Amazing Cindy from Changing Hands introduced me, and then I took the stage (I was quite proud that I did not trip over my copious skirt layers). (It was a lot of fun “whisking” in my huge skirt.) In the little holding room, I got to see my “Edward” and “Jacob” all costumed up for their appearance-that was exciting! (If you ever get the chance to make people dress up as your fictional creations, I highly recommend the experience.) After everyone was inside the main gym, I was whisked through back halls to make my entrance through the appropriate door. I was hiding out “backstage” (backstage was a slightly fragrant men’s locker room) for a lot of the action, so I can only give you the parts I saw. I think most of this update is going to have to be in picture form to adequately do the prom justice.įirst, the general rundown. After all the madness of selling out two proms, after all the massive amounts of organizational work that Changing Hands Bookstore, my Little Brown publicist, the ASU crew, and many dedicated volunteers went through, after all of the personal stress of sorting through so many photos of male models and actors searching for Edward and Jacob look-a-likes, in the end, the Eclipse Prom was WOW.Įveryone was gorgeous! The creativity and glamour blew me away. That word sort of sums up the Eclipse Proms.
