The RT Booklovers Convention is in New Orleans this summer, and I am thrilled to be going. I’ve never been to a writer/reader con before, and from what I’ve heard and read about it, this is a great one to get your feet wet. Very relaxed and welcoming, dress how you’re most comfortable, and a fabulous way to meet friends you’ve known for years but never met in person.

The writer’s track looks great, lots of informative panels on both craft and business, and plenty of social events as well. I’m not gonna lie–I’m a little freaked out about that much in-person socializing (Ohhh dot dot dot I liked you better online sadface) but I think it’s going to be a blast once I find my very achy feet, and I can’t wait to see all my friends. If you’re holding fresh pastry or an Amaretto Sour, that makes you my friend.

There were also several reasonably priced promotional opportunities offered for the week, so if you’re getting a FAN-tastic Day swag bag, here’s a sneak peek:

SLY MAGIC: NOGITSUNE will be half off while I’m at the convention, so May 14th-19th will be the perfect time to wrap your tails around it for just $1.99 before SLY MAGIC: GEOMANCER comes out later this year!
