I&#8217;m delighted to be taking part in two panels towards the end of the day-long conference sessions&#8212;first, I&#8217;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 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ladyjanessalon.com\">Lady Jane&#8217;s Salon<\/a>, the monthly romance reading series I emcee here in New York City, and Jackie&#8217;s YA fiction is published by my employers at Houghton Mifflin Harcourt.) Then, immediately following and in the very same room, I&#8217;ll be a participant in a conversation about &#8220;the future of the book&#8221; led by Don Linn, with additional input by Guy LeCharles Gonzales, Jennifer Gilmore, and Andrew Albanese. I&#8217;ll be wearing my marketing cap for that session, but I&#8217;ll probably have something to say as a blogger as long as I&#8217;m there&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>And we&#8217;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!
