I’m really bummed because I’m not going to be able to come this year 🙁 I’ll miss you and all the things I love about the con!

I will be there! Funny because I only planned to go to hear Chloe Neill…. But then the schedule came out and now I’m fully embracing my inner book geek and going Fri and Sat ;). So I read primarily two genres: urban fantasy/ vampire books and spin offs of Pride and Prejudice. – strange combo I know. So it surprised me when I was eyeballing a new P&P book when I realized I recognized the author name from the ArmadilloCon schedule. Lol. Took it as a sign and ordered The Unexpected Miss Bennett. Bringing it with me to your signing Saturday 🙂

Excellent! Looking forward to it! And it’s not a strange combo; you would be surprised at the number of people writing fantasy that is Regency-flavored. (Well okay, it’s a little strange, but you are in good company.)

You’re right – I guess that is true! I’m in the middle of a version right now where Darcy and Wickham are vampires. My first time to come to the conference so I’m excited.
