Even some of Daniel Silva's friends are in the FBI, CIA and...

Dressed in a dark navy suit with starched blue shirt, Daniel Silva is admittedly a "formal" kind of guy. Standing before a crowd of nearly sixty (yes, I counted them, or estimated by rows plus the standees) avid readers, he took questions about his choice of villain, his childhood and life in Washington, D.C. A former journalist Silva has friends in the CIA, FBI and other government agencies. He's also married to NBC correspondent Jamie Gangel.

Some of his own personal favorite reads are by other spy masters including the great John le Carré, so I felt we had something in common. Can't wait to read a European spy book.

Our trusty photographer took the command to "get more pictures this time" and inundated us with some from every angle although she almost fell down on the job when it was finally my turn to get our book signed.

Description in a word: erudite

Description in a nutshell: Tall, short-haired, clean shaven with a tan, Daniel Silva although soft-spoken probably does the New York Times crossword with a pen each week.

Check out the spread at the Penguin party! Not bad. Hobnobbing with authors, editoral staff, publicists, agents, booksellers and more.

Friday night was filled with the publishers' parties. We hit a couple of them before we crashed for the night and the long drive home.

Bettina Krahn is one of Faye's favorite authors attending the Penguin Books party in Atlanta. Here you can see Faye and Bettina enjoying a moment!

Don't miss other pictures from the parties and panels on Friday, July 28th on Flickr.
