Off to see the Wizard
April 24, 2007

Well, not quite the wizard, but the wizard maker, Jim Butcher, author of The Dresden Files, now on the SciFi Channel.  He's one of the 250 authors who will be attending the RT Convention in Houston.  I'm leaving at 5:30 a.m. (yikes!!  Who booked that time??) and will be blogging my adventure.  And from talking to prior attendees, it is the mother of adventures.

There will be morning mixers that are hosted by various authors and publishers, over 125 workshops for authors, readers and booksellers and then in the evening things really heat up with themed events that include vampire and fairy costume balls and dance parties.  Saturday will be a giant book fair with over 300 authors signing their books.  Of course, I'm also told one not to miss event is the Mr. Romance Competition where 10 hopefuls compete for the title.  (I do have extra batteries for my camera, so stayed tuned for pictures)

I also plan to pick up lots of books that I hope to give away to some of you lucky faithful blog readers. 

Bottom line:  This convention looks to be hot, hot, hot.  (The weather...I'm talking about the weather)
