The Cheapest Tickets to BookExpo America 2008

Sigh—is anyone else out there wishing they could see BookExpo? Or are most of us glad we’ve got the weekend free to write--and who really wants to go look at the overwhelming competition anyway?

So this post is for those of us who chose to work on our novels instead walking around with tired feet in pinched shoes(--ha, it didn't work. I still wish I were there!)

Well at any rate, here’s a few places where you can visit to keep updated:
