BoucherCon2012 Bound! Be Back Oct 8th!

BoucherCon2012 Bound baby!  I am either knee-deep in trying to get my check-in bag under 50lbs (I am NOT a light packer) or I am seeing which books I want to take with me for possible signage.  If you are reading on Wednesday then I am either in an airport, on the plane, or safely in Cleveland as we speak!  I am so gosh darn excited about the conference I can hardly contain myself.  I have never been to Cleveland before so that should be fun.  I am hoping that Wednesday I can spend time sightseeing and getting in some of the local eateries 🙂  I don’t know anyone else that is going personally so it should be an interesting mix of meeting new people and trying hard not to hide in the corner.

I didn’t schedule posts to go up while I am gone since I won’t be around to talk to y’all!  I do however have the Run the Risk Lori Foster Tour+Giveaway (US/CA)  and Divinity by Patricia Leever Tour + Giveaway (International) going on so stop by those!

My BIG List of who I am hope to meet:

Avery Aames, Sparkle Abbey, Charlaine Harris, Rosemary Harris, Sara Paretsky, Cathy Pickens, Dana Haynes, Linwood Barclay, David Bell, Jennifer Hillier, Carole Price, Mark Billingham, Lisa Black, Juliet Blackwell, Heather Blake, Rhys Bowen, Julie Hyzy, Lucy Burdette, Alan Jacobson, Peter James, Les Roberts, Michael Robotham, Sara Rosett, Hank Phillippi Ryan, Sandra Brannan, Duffy Brown, Mollie Cox Bryan, Robin Burcell, Lucy Burdette, Alafair Burke, Jan Burke, Andrew Kaplan, Toni L.P.
