Oh, my goodness! I'm so jealous...But have fun :)
Kelly I share your jealousy ! I wish I could be there to hear Anthony and Garth speak...
Camille, I do hope your aunt is not too giddy... :-D
Oooooh, Susan Cooper! I adore "The Dark is Rising" series. I'm jealous, too! And Garth Nix, as well! If you haven't read any Garth Nix, I recommend his new series, "The Keys to the Kingdom." I enjoy it much more than I did Sabriel. It's aimed at a slightly younger audience, though. My son also enjoyed Nix's "The Fall" series, but I haven't had time to read that one, yet.
Oops, I meant, "The Seventh Tower" series. The first book is called "The Fall."
My aunt is giddy again (!) - I finished reading Eagle Strike on the bus home, and I'm now reading Scorpia - Ark Angel is on the TBR pile as well !
I'm far from a celeb, but I will be there too signing my newest book. See ya!
I will see you, I hope. Are you signing at a publisher's booth?
