It’s just about time for the 2017 Booklovers convention in Atlanta. Soon hordes of booklovers – authors, readers, bloggers, reviewers, publishers, booksellers and librarians will descend upon Atlanta’s downtown Hyatt Regency to revel in books! I will be one of those people. I don’t mind saying, I am very excited.
This will be my second RT convention. I went to Dallas two years ago and met so many wonderful people! I went by myself, but never lacked for company. In every line I stood in, I struck up conversations with the strangers around me. I met and hung out with several amazing authors. I got lots of swag and autographed books for my collection. I had a grand time!
Now, this is not something I can afford to do every year. Last year’s convention was in Vegas, a city I have visited. I am not a Vegas person, so it was easy to skip that one. However, Atlanta is a city I have always had interest in visiting. So Atlanta, here I come!
This year, I am registered as a librarian. My goal is to get pictures with some of my patrons favorite authors. I may or may not stalk Heather Graham. There are few others, but she is at the top of my list!
Is anyone else going? I’ve set up a Facebook event to help people connect. If you are going, let me know, here or on Facebook, so we can meet. See you there!
Melody Steiner is a novelist, librarian, warrior woman, and a mother. She grew up in a home where science fiction and fantasy were staples of the imagination. Her earliest novels were written in elementary school and involved rocket ships to the moon, alien life, and gumdrop kingdoms at war with other invading candy nations. Over the years, she found herself drawn to fantasy stories that empower female characters and particularly women of color. Currently, she’s based near Columbus, Ohio, along with her husband and the wild things they call “children.”
