(Gotta love it, Kathryn goes for an indie instead of a chain!) This year, it's Katy Budget Books. http://www.katybooks.com/ Generally the publisher has the biggest say in what's on the table, although I did get to select three titles I wanted.
This is, of course, the view from the peanut gallery. The Name Authors at the larger tables around the perimeter of the room will have a wider selection and far more copies of each title.
I'm curious to see what shows up. It's common for some books to get lost or misplaced, and there will be authors sitting at a bare table or with only a couple of copies. Cathy had this happen, where only two or three copies made it to the signing. Since I get in before the general public, I race around and scoop up what I want, to make sure I get them. Call it compensation for helping distribute the books in the ballroom that morning. It works off excess energy - Crikey, I have to sit for three hours! Right through lunch! - and has a few perks. ;D Yeah, I'm one of those few writers who aren't drained by the constant socializing at this kind of event. I've been called a psychic vampire by a couple of frustrated introverts because my energy level tends to rise over the week. (I'm not feeding off them, I'm not, I say!)
Be sure to navigate the throng to find me. I look forward to seeing you there!
Hugs,
Liddy

This will be my first book signing as an author. I know I won't have many copies of my first book at my table. So I have a few other things to supplement. If you're there, you'll see me fairly soon upon entering. My pen name is Morgan Ashbury, and I'm published by Siren Publishing. :D

I'm her +1, and yes I am still coming! I was so sorry to hear she wasn't coming. We belong to the same online writers' group and have been reading each other's work for a couple of years now.

I'll be looking for you, Cathy, and Morgan as well! I'll be the clutz who manages to bump into the table instead walking in the perfectly open space beside it, who finds the doorframe instead of the open door space, etc. I have blonde moments that other people only find in jokes.

I will most likely be helping Charlaine during the book signing but I will try to search you out. I am the official dogsbody and fan picture taker. :)
