Many of them sat down and talked to their readers and handed out promo things anyway. I was fortunate that my Allyson James books (Berkley and EC) were there, so I was able to sign those (and sit two seats from Eloisa James!). Also, many flights from NY had been cancelled that day (big storm in the east apparantly). I stayed the whole time, and had to be pried out of my seat in the end. I love booksignings. I get to talk one-on-one with the readers and see authors I never get to see. If I want to track someone down, I know I can find them alphabetically. :-) I was sorry not to have the Immortals books to sign--apparently they were all given away in the goody room on Tuesday, but oh well. They all got into hands of readers, which is where they are supposed to be!

The conference opened to the general public for a signing session one afternoon -- and Kenyon signed for *hours*, until every last fan had had their turn, and she had a smile for them all. I was enormously impressed with the effort she put in that day to make sure everyone went away happy.
