    ”I'm supposed to have drinks with Jim Patterson later on. I'll let him know how that went.” James W. Hall, who leaves the stage to a raucous standing ovation.

    A few years ago I took my wife to a Madonna concert for our anniversary. The Material Girl took the stage at 11:30 for a show that was scheduled to begin at 8:00. Patterson has reached one hour.

    ”I actually like James Patterson. I think he's terrific. And all of his permutations.” James W. Hall

    Still no Patterson, but James W. Hall has taken to the stage to amuse the crowd with stories of absentee orangutans in a novel about orangutans.

    The character naming sold for $975. I hope they didn't just drop a grand on a character who gets killed on page one.

    A 50 page manuscript reading by bestselling author Jeffrey Deaver just sold for $650 during the luncheon auction. Next up on the block is a character naming in an upcoming James Patterson novel.

    The guest of honor is fashionably late. He is scheduled for the press room from 12-1:00 before giving his keynote speech from 1-2:00.
