It's Monday, and I'm going into silence mode because I'm headed to the RT conference. This means I'll be busy talking w people in real life and spending less time online visiting, although chances are I'll still nab a little Twitter and/or Facebook time.
Here's where you'll find me for the week of April 10-15. If you can, stop in. I'll have swag and hugs, for those who like such things. 😀
ALSO! Starting WEDNESDAY: Collect author signatures for prizes
Together with a group of authors we will have fun brochures for you to gather signatures during the con. People who get all of them and show it to one of us at the end of the Saturday book signing will be in the running for great prizes including a Nook, B&N giftcards, and a box of books/swag. Track me down, and I'll give you a brochure!
