Knights & Dragons

When I went to Romancing the Capital in Ottawa in April, I was amazed by all the swag and signage that authors had. I realized that I needed to lift my game!

You’ve seen my new tote bags, but here are the other new additions to my booksigning kit. Meet the boys:

banners

These are retractable floor banners that are about six feet tall. The idea was that the designs would ensure that I could use them for a year or two, since I don’t do that many signings per year. I’m really happy with them – even though I had to rearrange my office in order to set them up.

What do you think?

Book Expo America 2013

Book Expo America – or BEA – is the biggest trade show for books and publishing in the US. It’s held each year in New York. This year, it’s May 29 to June 1 and will be at the Jacob Javitz Center, as usual.

And I’ll be there! I’m going to be in the KOBO booth as part of their Meet the Author program. My spot is from 11:00 to 12:00 on Saturday, June 1. The KOBO booth is #967.

I’ll also be stopping by the Romance Writers of America booth during the day. They’ll be in booth #951.

Saturday is the day that BEA is open to the public. You can attend as a Power Reader for just $49, which is an awesome deal. This is new since the last time I attended the show and the details are right here.

If you’re going to be at the show, please stop by and say hello. I think it’s going to be fun!
