Aw, thanks. And yeah, there were two other authors at this event, and both of them are nonfiction writers, so I imagine they were a bit peeved as well.

It is just hard sometimes when I say I'm a writer, and when people ask me if I've been published I tell them yeah, in these magazines and newspapers, and I can just see the, "Oh, I thought you meant you wrote *novels*" in their faces.
