Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ

Its a little bit early, but I know of at least ONE author attending:

Michelle K. Pickett author of the forthcoming Spencer Hill Press title PODs as well as the Concilium Duology (Concilium and Concilium: The Departure).

So let's see who else we find out about in the 6 months leading up!

Jennifer L. Armentrout confirmed she will be there, too!

mwaha! that's two authors I adore! (and I'll bring my Obisidian original edition book to be signed, cause honestly, I think it needs to be).

Would it be too much to hope that she stashes Daemon...er I mean Pepe in her purse? He'd only be sort of kind of kidnapped by hordes of females...(Simone Eckles had her two cover guys a couple years back and that was pretty fab I gotta say).

Did you miss her signing copies of Obsidian at BEA 2012?

Yeah I was due at a quickee interview w/another author and didn't make it out in time. I made it to her Cursed signing tho!

Heather L. Reid (author of Pretty Dark Nothing) will be at BEA and the book sounds pretty awesome! She posted about it on her twitter.

Jennifer Armentrout will be signing arcs of Frigid at BEA!

via twitter for Month9Books:
Shannon Delany
Jackie Kessler
Kelly Hashway

The tweet said 8 of their authors...but I can't find mention of who else will be there apart from them (point in fact, Kelly Hashway may also do something for Spencer Hill as her book, Touch of Death, just came out and the second book Stalked by Death comes out in July).

Lexie, you've done BEA more than I have, do you remember roughly how long prior to BEA they post the schedule?

an initial draft usually 8 weeks before, and then it gets updated weekly give or take. they should be posting the author breakfast authors real soon. the hitch is power reader's day and BEA Bloggers. they are pushing them way more so.

Are you doing the blogger con?

Wish I could, but if I paid for me I'd have to pay for Tegs as well and...that's a lot of money :shrugs: I'm so interested in it though, the panel is full of folk I admire (in the blogging community) and I think they'll make it worth the time/money spent.

Maybe if my taxes come back higher than I expect or if I don't get in to the University I applied to (since that's a large chunk of my money right there) I can afford it. Til then I'm eagerly looking forward to the posts from attendees!

You pay everything for Tegan?

>.> the vast majority yeah. This year we're lucky in that her boss at the bookstore is covering our passes since well Tegan works there and I sort of help out there, but yeah food, hotel, travel, shipping, sovenirs are mostly me.

You are an amazing sister!

ahahah I'm scared to death of her that's why. You can ask Tasch or Nicole about some of Tegs' scary moments.

Though in all seriousness, its usually her birthday gift from me and she's at least mindful of not spending all of my money. Its the only time of year she's mindful of it XD

I saw nothing but an angel.

(Nicole is she threatening you? We have a support group for that! BLink twice if she's threatening you RIGHT THIS INSTANT)

OMG. Seriously? Uhhh .... WHY am I having dinner with you crazy people again?!

lmao cause we are the coolest kids you know? :P

I second that ;)

Best people ever really.

;-; I LOVE YOU GUYS SERIOUSLY!

In related to Authors News: Rick Riordan has been announced as being part of the Children's Breakfast on Friday. He'll be chatting about The House of Hades.

OOO. I'll pass that info on to my sister, she loves Mythology.

That would ALMOST make me want to go, but I like the Kane Chronicles a bit moreso.

I'm unfamiliar with those.

The Red Pyramid (Book 1)
The Throne of Fire (Book 2)
The Serpent's Shadow (Book 3)

They're more steeped in Egyptian mythology, about a set of siblings racing to save their father.

Yeah, y'all kinda rock. I'm so excited for the dinner.

That's great news about Rick Riordan. I'm not going the the breakfast, but I've only heard great things about him!

Veronica Roth will be speaking at the Children's Book and Author Breakfast! Dare this mean the last Divergent book might make an appearance?!

I JUST F*CKING SAW THAT. *Dies*

I'm going to that Breakfast now...

How much is it for the breakfast? I just saved some money on the plane ticket so I might go...

Its 48 for the not special seating, but 100 for reserved seating and 27 to just sort of sit and watch with no breakfast.

Should have figured this--she's majorly popular (forefront of YA Dystopia I'd lay odds) and has a major movie deal now.

Major TV deal girl, her series is going to the small screen. I WISH they would give us an ARC of the third book.

*Is still dead*

Wait, they're making Divergent a TV Series? Are you for real?! Nooooo, they can't do that. I heard they were in talks with Kate Winslet for it.

Ohh I thought it was a movie deal, but well that's slightly better. I'll watch a show over a movie most days.

:pats: And I hope they give us copies of Brandon Sanderson's new novel--there's THREE OF THEM due out this year, ONE OF THEM has to be at Book Expo right?

*shameless self promotion...A link with the Divergent news*

You can only hope Lexie... or contact the author directly and just ask >.<

...I do have his cell phone number and home number...

Lexie wrote: "...I do have his cell phone number and home number..."

Holy shit! Why do you have those?!

NOT BECAUSE I'M CREEPY. I did a series of interviews with him by phone and video a couple years back. He gave them to me in case I needed to keep in touch. I've been WAY TOO SCARED to use them. Also I have Marjorie M. Liu's information...for the same reasons.

*Still Dead*

Yeah well never mind It's Delirium, I got confused.

Too many one word dystopian books, nevermind keeping all the sequels in line.

Nicole wrote: "Too many one word dystopian books, nevermind keeping all the sequels in line."

Lol I KNOW! I get them confused... Too many Dystopians.

Prodigy, Eve, Legend, Once, Rise, Divergent, Delirium, Requiem, Insurgent, Champion, Pandaemonium, Incarnate, Asunder, Unraveling, Unbreakable,

and that is just off the top of my head.

whoa whoa whoa Unraveling/Unbreakable isn't Dystopian, its Science Fiction with one of the worlds facing an apocalypse. Difference man!
