Tomorrow we’re off to Book Expo<\/a> in New York City. Book Expo is where publishers show off all their new or upcoming publications. There are free books galore (although the price is sore feet, tired shoulders, lots of bumping into people, and shipping all the books\u00a0home). It’s also a great place to people watch as you never know who you’ll bump into. Last year I couldn’t understand why someone would point a real video cam complete with bright lights at me, until I realized I was standing beside Steve Wozniak, who was about to promote his new book. Ex-cuuuuuuse me, please. It will also give us a chance to eat at some really good restaurants, including Mitali East, a to-die-for Indian place on 6th St. You’ll be reading about that and other delights on Greasy Spoons<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Then it’s back to Sarah’s folks’ house in Newington, CT for a few nights, although Sarah has a speaking engagement at a library\u00a0workshop in western MA on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Next Thursday it’s off to Albany, NY for the North American Conference of The Historical Novel Society<\/a>. Sarah’s been the\u00a0one of the planners of\u00a0this conference as\u00a0she was for\u00a0the original conference, which was held two years ago in Salt Lake City.<\/p>\n

Finally, we fly home the following Monday. I think I’ll need a week off to recuperate.\u00a0 \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
