In which I am almost out of here
I'm leaving early tomorrow--and I mean EARLY--to head to NYC for BookExpo. It's an insane sort of place, and I mean that in the best way. I get to visit with readers, booksellers, fellow writers, publishing peeps, and of course my dear editor and darling agent, and I get to do it all while getting a brief charge of Manhattan hustle and bustle. What's not to love? If you happen to be at BookExpo, I will be signing here:
*On Wednesday, May 26, 10:30-11am @ the ABA booth
*On Thursday, May 27, 10-10:45am @ the Harlequin booth
*On Thursday, May 27, 12:45-1:15 @ the MWA booth
Also, just a reminder that we're running monthly contests on the Contest page--May's prize is a $25 gift card to Audible.com! (Please be sure to use the bar to scroll down while you're adding your information so you can find the "submit" button. Otherwise your info might just wander in the ether!)
As far as bloggery for the next few days, I'm not sure. I want to, you understand, but I still don't know how to write a post and leave it in a queue to be published when I'm not around, and to blog from NY means I have to figure out how to connect my netbook to a new wireless system. Which I'm perfectly eager to do, you understand, but this is me we're talking about and it involves new technology and honestly, the odds aren't good. But I hope to be able to keep in touch while I'm away, and if you don't hear from me in the next day or so, I will still be tweeting and updating on Facebook and will be back to blogging on Friday. See you then!

What Ranger said...
I second what Ranger wrote-my darling little netbook seeks and finds and then asks me nicely if I am interested in connecting. They are such able little angels. And heaven knows, NYC is probably the most network-dense place on the PLANET so your little friend will probably have the same problem you might have at Jimmy Choo-too much choice!
Wireless
We are in complete harmony when it comes to wireless connections. But, your new netbook probably came with Wireless N technology. That makes connections easier and most of the heavy lifting is done for you. When we went on vac with our new laptop, I took along my complicated network passwords and usernames, just in case. Didn't need any of it.
The computer, when booted up, sailed through the whole process. If you know how to see your network connections, you can see what is open to you. Just be protected by excellent anti-virus software and a good firewall. TMI?
