Today's email from Carol Stacey had the following info:
Plans for the RT convention in Chicago, April 11 - 15 are heating up, with more and more bestselling authors signing on. We already have around 250 on our list of authors attending with Nalini Singh, Charlaine Harris, J.R. Ward, Brenda Jackson, ReShonda Tate Billingsley, Lora Leigh, Susan Elizabeth Phillips, Loretta Chase, Mary Balogh, Rosanne Bittner, Melissa Marr, Richelle Mead, Ally Condie and Karen Marie Moning topping the list.
We are expanding our reader program in Chicago to include 36 fan-centric workshops led by bestselling authors including all who are mentioned above. In addition to Author Chats with panels of bestselling authors, many authors are leading their own reader workshops with fun themes including Karen Marie Moning’s Fever party for fans. In the November issue we will outline the entire Reader Program, so please do take a look.
We are really changing up the convention this year! Many of you may have heard that we are retiring the Mr. Romance competition, formerly held on Saturday after the Giant Book Fair and replacing it with a day of reader fun with workshops and an Author Meet & Greet party for fans. Saturday will also be the day for teens, with another Teen Day, which was so successful in LA, planned for our Chicago convention.
Another big change will be for authors, aspiring and published. In place of our agent and editor panels, on Friday we will have a “Pitch Party” where editors and agents will line a room and writers will have three minutes to pitch their stories to them. It will be controlled chaos and a lot of fun. There will also be pitch doctors roaming the room for last-chance sharpening of your pitch. Any agents or editors who want to participate, please contact me at CStacy@RTBookReviews.com to get on the list. Authors, please let your agents and editors know what is planned to see if they are interested in participating.
Info from Facebook...Rocky Horror Midnight Madness....following the Faery Ball on Thursday at midnight. Get ready to do the Time Warp...again!

I believe the Vampire Ball has a Steampunk theme...haven't heard anything about the Faery Ball yet.
Already scored Steampunk stuff at the STEAMPUNK INVASION yesterday at the Renn Faire. Mr Murray really scored with a top hat, silver headed cane, and goggles!
