Hi everybody!
I should be packing.
No. Seriously. I leave tomorrow, and I have no idea what I should wear or take. And shoes! The shoe question is always a BIG one!
Where am I going?
Well, regular blog readers will hopefully remember that I am attending the Romance Writers of America Annual Convention in San Antonio.
If you live in the San Antonio area, please try to come by for the first night of the conference!
The Literary Autographing is free and open to the public. It takes place Wednesday, July 23 at the Marriott Rivercenter Hotel. Click here for complete information.
Some things you need to know:
1. This is not your average book signing.
There will be hundreds of authors all in one room. Also, the proceeds all go to charity (which I think is really cool).
2. Because of #1, you will not be allowed to bring in your books from home. I will, however, have bookplates (little fancy stickers) which I will happily sign and then you can place them in your books.
3. We will have a few books for sale. It will not be all of my books, and it will be a limited number. (Because the books are donated so that 100% of the proceeds can go to charity.)
I know this isn’t what many of you are used to, but it is a GREAT event. I hope that you’ll come and walk around and meet some other really great authors (there are literally hundreds scheduled to attend). And I hope that we can all celebrate books and literacy at one of my favorite events of the year!
