One would think, after one had spent a week in New York City and returned safely from the journey, that one would not want to jaunt anywhere for some time to come.

 Not the case here.

A week of networking, culminated by two days at Big Apple Con, have made me long to arrange for even more travels, and to hammer out an itinerary for 2008 beyond BookExpo America and the NEIBA trade show.

Over at my LiveJournal, which mirrors this one sometimes, and sometimes goes off in its own direction, I’m taking a survey.

Please take a gander, and feel free to comment there or here.

One often wishes one could be in two places at once.

This is just such a time.

I will be away from home from the 13th through the 19th.  So Murphy, that delightful sadist of Murphy’s Law fame, has arranged that Susan Cooper will be in Boston when I have to be elsewhere.

I’ve known about this conference for ages, but only after clearing my desk and finding my invitation did I realize that yes, Susan Cooper will be in town when I am out of town.

You, my Gentle Readers, may benefit from my misfortune.

Details:

Nov. 14th, 7PMThe Writing of Fantasy, a roundtable discussion featuring Susan Cooper, Gregory Maguire, and Roger Sutton.  MIT Stata Center, tickets free but required, reception to follow.  Sponsored by the Cambridge Public Library.

Nov. 15th, 7:30PMUnriddling the World, featuring Susan Cooper, Dr. Tony Berrand, and George Emlen of Revels, Inc.  First Parish, 3 Church Street, tickets not required.  Sponsored by the Cambridge Public Library.

More information about both events can be found at http://www.cambridgepubliclibrary.org.

At some point in this blog, I really should recount the tale of how the Susan Cooper books were a sovereign remedy for influenza.
