I can’t believe the time to prep for GayRomLit 2013 has finally arrived. I hope if you’re attending you’ll take a minute to try and hunt down one of the TNA group while you’re there. Jackie, Lynn, Bruce and I will be representing and look so forward to meeting you!
Activity on the blog is going to be on the lighter side this week as I try to get myself organized and ready to leave on Wednesday, but that doesn’t mean we don’t have some great content coming up. Plus, I hope to be able to blog a little bit from Atlanta, post some pictures and give those of you who aren’t attending this year a little bit of incentive to start saving up for 2014!
Here’s what I’m hoping to highlight over the weekend:
I’m moderating a few Author Q&A Panels, beginning Thursday afternoon with TJ Klune, Eric Arvin, and Jambrea Jo Jones (God, help me!). If I don’t have something to report after that one, it’s because I didn’t survive it. :-D
Friday’s Author Panel duty belongs to Taylor V. Donovan, Rowan Speedwell, and Shira Anthony.
And Saturday finds me with SJD Peterson, Daniel Kaine, and Poppy Dennison.
I’ll also be attending JP Barnaby’s Body Painting for Charity Event, for which proceeds will be donated to the Lost ‘n Found Youth Foundation. If I can, I’ll post many pictures from that. ::waggles eyebrows::
There will be much more extracurricular activity to report on, too, but those are just a few of the scheduled highlights.
Now, here’s what’s coming up this week:
>> Monday – Brita Addams will be here to talk about the latest installment in her “Tarnished” series
>> Tuesday – Kindle Alexander arrives on her Double Full Blog Tour to offer the chance to win some really nifty swag
>> Wednesday – Sophie Bonaste arrives with a giveaway on her The Sacrifices We Make Blog Tour
And, as always, AJ Corza will be here with her pick for Top Cover of the Week
>> Thursday – The Novel Approach is partnering with Wilde City Press to celebrate Gay History Month. This celebration is a revelation and a revolution to spotlight key events, historical figures, and the everyday folks who make an impact on the world in which we live and love.
>>Friday – Lou Sylvre is bring Luki Vasquez and Sonny Bly James for a visit. And rumor has it, there might be a giveaway involved.
>>Sunday – Seventh Window Publications is here to offer one lucky reader the chance to win an E-copy of Bebe Burnside‘s latest release A Cup of Latte.
So, outside of reviews, that wraps up what we’ve got cooked up for the coming week.
Happy Reading!
Oh, GRL is going to be sooooo much fun. This is my first time attending and I plan on participating in everything I can possibly fit into the week ahead. See you there!
I’m soooooo excited! Wednesday won’t get here soon enough! :D
Lisa, looks like a terrific lineup. Can’t wait.
Hugs, Paul. :)
Looking forward to reading those GRL highlights, Lisa! Thanks for not leaving us hanging while you’re away moderating and painting bodies and such. ;) It’s the “and such” that you have to watch out for!
Well, Carolyn, I bought a brand new camera just for this, so I plan to put it to good use! Our regular camera is a little cumbersome so I had only my phone last year and regretted every moment of not having a decent one with me, so I got a compact one for this year that I can easily carry around. I’ll be loaded and ready to go. :-D
