I’m attending a romance event I haven’t done before next year in NJ. It’s the AAD (NOT attention deficit disorder! *g*) convention for readers. I think it will be a lot of fun and I’m looking forward to it. So many of the conferences are far away and in huge cities like NY and LA. It will be interesting to hit a smaller but just as interesting city for a change. They are adding a GLBT track this year and MLR Press will host one of their many planned parties/events. Sounds like fun, huh?
Here is the info from the ADD blog site:
