Well, I got my schedule for SoonerCon, a bit disappointed, they didn't give me a lot to do for some reason. Last year was a blast but this year, I don't know. Another big change is for some unknown reason (I have emailed and have yet to receive an answer) authors are no longer allowed to sell their books during their autograph sessions. Which is just insane and makes me really upset. This is the ONLY place most authors there can sell their stuff. You set up your little display and people see how awesome your book looks and go 'I want to buy that!' But for some reason they took that away from us. I was really looking forward to showing off my book, for the first time at a convention but NOPE! But I'll still have my business cards and they ain't stopping me from putting a shit ton on the freebie table, and I'll still have them on display during my FEW panels. Maybe that'll help spread the word. SIGH!!!! But I digress, my schedule! All events are happening at the Embassy Suits by Hilton Norman, 2501 N Conference Dr. Don't fret with all the Boomer room numbers, it's Norman. BOOMER SOONER!
