The Wordsmith's Bookstore in Decatur, GA hosted a booksigning event with Star Wars Author Karen Traviss. Karen is best known for her "Republic Commando" series of novels based on the popular video game. She was there promoting and signing her new book, the novelization of the "Clone Wars" 3D animated movie.
There were about 50 folks in attendance and lots of kids in costume. Karen gave a nice talk, took questions from the audience, and then slid behind a table to start signing books. By 9:30pm, most everyone had left but us. We got to speak to Karen one-on-one and she's quite pleasant and personable. She is really a big fan of the 501st and is herself an honorary member.
Our two "Republic Commando" costumers were of course in attendance. Kris as "Boss" and Madog showing off his newly completed "Scorch" backpack, which Karen signed.
