Robin's Upcoming Appearances

[Farseer]

PLEASE NOTE IMPORTANT UPDATES/CHANGES TO ROBIN'S UPCOMING APPEARANCES, as taken from a Newsgroup notification:

The best laid plans of mice and men . . . or something like that.

It looks, at this point, as if I may be going to Polcon 2013 rather than Worldcon
in San Antonio in August 2013. (sorry, Steve. I'd looked forward to meeting
up again.) Polcon's a fantasy/SF convention in Poland. It's not absolutely definite
yet, but it's pretty close to that.

I will be at Rustycon in January right here close to home in SeaTac. Mostly
going to see friends but may end up on a panel or two or three. I will put
info up as I get it. I will also put in an appearance at the ALA wintermeeting
in Seattle, but I think that is limited to library professionals attending.

I am Not going to England in March. Decision was that I should stay home
and promote books in the US in March and April. I may (not definite yet) be
at the Los Angeles Times Festival of Books in April.

I WILL be going to World Fantasy Con in Brighton, England in October 2013.

Did the capitals get your attention? And, a little extra time to save for Robin's visit, fool-ish?

Quoting these details from Robin's Facebook page :

Time to stop playing with my imaginary friends and interact with the real world for a time. At least the pixilated one. And yes, the second i in that word is intentional. Look it up. It WILL be on your SAT vocabulary test.

And on to other things. Most of these events are still on the hazy edge of scheduling, but I'll mention them here. January 28 is for real. I will be at University Book Store with JACKIE MORRIS! She is the cover artist for the Rain Wild Books, but will also be showing her beautiful picture books I AM CAT and East of the Sun and West of the Moon, and others. Hope to see you there. There will be a wonderful gift basket from us for a lucky winner. Your bookstore receipt is your entry for the drawing.

In April, month of the US release of Blood of Dragons, I will sign at University Book Store, Seattle. More on that later.

Later in April, I will be in Lost Angeles for the L.A. Festival of Books! Weekend of the 20-21 and that is as much as I know now.

And then, April 30, a first for me. I will visit Boston, "the land of the bean and the cod" (Quick, someone, quote the rest of the poem!) at the Boston Public library on Boylson St. 6 PM. More details as I know it.

And then, in June, HYPERICON has invited me to Nashville Tennesee! Another first for me and one I anticipate with great joy!

I will still, of course, be at the World Fantasy Convention in Brighton at the end of October. Fiona McIntosh, Australian author and I intend to run wild and scandalize all of Great Britain with our antics. It will be my wrap up event for my book tour of the UK for Blood of Dragons. More on that as I know it!

And will it be Polcon in Poland, or Worldcon in Texas . . . ? Decisions, decisions! I will let you know when I do!

Robin and Jackie in the one spot? Good stuff!

too bad such spots are always too far off, eh?

Ah, but not too far off Valarya, who lives close to Nashville! If you get to catch up with Robin in June, Valarya, it would be FANTASTIC if we could have a pic and a little bit of a report on what you both got up to. *begs* It can go in the 'fans' tab, under the 'Fan experiences and reports' heading.

I actually saw this in the Newsgroup and commented on it! Also, I don't live close to Nashville, I practically live in Downtown Nashville, so I'm extremely excited! My best friend, Anthony, and I are already thinking of what book(s) we want signed, if she's gonna do that sort of thing.

These beings suspect that it would not be possible to get either of these two options signed:
- All papery book editions you own.
- Any electronic editions you own.

This just in via Robin's Facebook page:

Tomorrow I will be at the ALA winter event in Seattle at the Convention Center from 11:30 to 12:30 at Harper Collins booth # 2631. I'm hoping to meet lots of librarians and book folk, and also to connect with Jackie Morris! Then, on Monday evening, Jackie and I will both be at University Books in Seattle. We will be reading, Jackie will be drawing, and we'll be signing books there starting at 6 PM. I'm looking forward to getting some signed copies of Jackie's lovely illustrated Children's books, specifically I Am Cat. We will also be having a drawing for a basket that will contain the COMPLETE Rain Wild Chronicles (alll four books) with cover art by Jackie . That's right, I'm putting in an ARC of the not-yet-released concluding volume, Blood of Dragons. Thanks to HarperCollins for supplying it!
We hope to see lots of readers there.

Update from Robin from via the Newsgroup:

Actually, a change of plans. I will not be going to Polcon this year after
all; perhaps sometime in the next couple of years instead.

So, I CAN go to LoneStarCon in San Antonio at the end of August/early Sept.
2013!
