RT Booklovers convention (including Teen Day)!
So I leave for LA in less than two days, and I'm starting to transition from the OMG I'M A TOTAL STRESS MESS I SWEAR THIS IS MY LAST CONVENTION EVER stage to the OMG I GET TO PARTY WITH PEOPLE WHO LOVE BOOKS YAY YAY YAY stage.Like many writers, I don't really like leaving the house, so the thought of traveling across the country always makes me want to lie down in a dark room. But it's okay, because once I get there I won't want to come home. Though I'll have a jet-lag headache the first night, I will progressively gain energy as my body learns to function on zero sleep.
If all goes well with my flight, I'll be in the hotel bar (to socialize, not to get wasted--I'm a total lightweight) by around 5 or so. I mean it when I say if you see me, come say hi. No, I really mean it. Then I will probably crash early due to the time change (and also to watch the end of the Women's NCAA championship game--go Irish!!).
Here's my schedule for the rest of the week:
3:30-4:30pm: Club RT. I'lll be available to sign books, take pictures, hand out fun swag, and just chat with readers. During the 3-3:30 slot, I'll be sharing Club RT with one of her favorite fellow urban fantasy authors, Adrian Phoenix, and will be giving away a signed copy of Bring on the Night. At the end of the 4-4:30 slot, I'll give away a signed copy of Shade. Stop by and say hi!
