ALA
Categories: Warbreaker ConventionsAt the request of Tor, I did a quick trip down to LA on Saturday to make an appearance at ALA. (The American Library Association's annual conference.) I didn't get to stay long, though the highlight of the experience was being on a panel with Vernor Vinge, Eric Flint, and Cory Doctorow. We each spoke for a short time on information, science fiction and fantasy, and the future of information technology. I felt totally out-classed to be speaking with such great authors.

If you don't find me there, ask around.) As always, LTUE has free admittance to the public, and since both Orson Scott Card and Gail Carson Levine are going to be there, it should be quite the convention. I should also have a few copies of the Mistborn and Elantris hardcovers for sale with me, if you wanted to grab one without having to pay the shipping. Check the bookstore first, however, as they sometimes have remainder hardcovers they sell for six or seven bucks. (Though they do have a remainder mark, which mine don't.) Continue Reading...
