On the Road Again: Empire State Book Festival

If you live in the vicinity of Albany, New York, you might want to come into town tomorrow for the inaugural Empire State Book Festival. I’m delighted to be taking part in two panels towards the end of the day-long conference sessions—first, I’ll be moderating a conversation about romance fiction with Lisa Dale, Kellyann Zuzulo, Jackie Kessler, and Hope Tarr. (Full disclosure: Hope is one of the co-founders of Lady Jane’s Salon, the monthly romance reading series I emcee here in New York City, and Jackie’s YA fiction is published by my employers at Houghton Mifflin Harcourt.) Then, immediately following and in the very same room, I’ll be a participant in a conversation about “the future of the book” led by Don Linn, with additional input by Guy LeCharles Gonzales, Jennifer Gilmore, and Andrew Albanese. I’ll be wearing my marketing cap for that session, but I’ll probably have something to say as a blogger as long as I’m there…

And we’re just a handful of the several dozen authors who will be on hand, talking about all sorts of stuff and signing our books afterwards! I’m planning on having fun, and if you have an opportunity to join us, I hope you will.
