Met Mr King for the 1st time yesterday ! Travelled to Paris from London, waited 5 hours with a lovely bunch of King fans and I'm overjoyed. I took my "Lisey's Story" to be signed and gave Stephen a Cross pen engraved " Stevie, thanks for all the good times". He was really appreciative of it, he said it was beautiful. I still haven't quite landed fully, I can't believe it's finally happened. Also,straight after the signing a french channel put a mike and a camera in my face and asked me what it felt like meeting Stephen King so I told them : " It feels like meeting my best friend for the first time "
Never mind the "How's Paris?" question Ms. Mod.....thought your post was just pics..sorry...just read your comments. And, nope I haven't gotten any smarter since you left......Thanks for the pics and info Ms. Mod! How's Paris?

Yesterday was nice, but it's mostly been raining. Got caught in a couple of showers this afternoon as I was wandering around for about 3 hours trying to find my way back to the hotel. Directionally challenged should be my middle name! I'm sure that I was close several times but kept getting turned around even with the GPS map on my phone. Was nearly at the point of breaking down when a very nice doorman gave me directions that finally led me back to the right street. I was afraid it was going to get dark before I got back and then I'd really be in trouble.
I double that! Thank you Marsha.Thank you all for posting your experiences! Marsha, I am so happy for you (and more than a bit jealous) just for getting to see Paris, (let alone going along with the big guy)! It really means a lot to us fans for you to share with us!
He was tired of watching you walk by him every 15 mintues.
I heard recently that they cleaned all the lipstick impressions off Oscar Wilde's grave and put up a barrier to prevent people from continuing the tradition.

Oh, no! I've already bought the red lipstick!
Thanks Still buzzing I have to say... Even more now that i have just found on lilja's library fb page a picture of Stephen signing a book with the actual pen I gave him. I can almost read the words I got engraved for him ! I did a massive double take ! I hadn't realised that he actually got the pen out of the box after I left, and viewing more videos from the day now i think he that he might have signed about 250 copies with it ! He changed from a white pen to the black with gold appointments i got him. It sounds probably silly to a lot of people but I'm shaking with emotion to think that maybe he will write with it some more after that ( emotion and a cold i caught yesterday, it was so cold at dawn! )What a beautiful answer Beverley!!! I think you just expressed exactly what many of us would all feel! So happy that you were able to go to the signing!
I got a "404 Page not found" but maybe they'll make an exception for Mr. King? I just hope he does not wear red lipstick! Yikes! Ms. Mod - sure - Steve - no!This is from 2011: Oscar Wilde's lipstick-covered Paris tomb to be protected
