The Comic Con will be running from July 24 – 27 in 2009 (it’s always Thursday through Sunday) and I will gladly pay an arm and both legs if it means we’ll get to see you and the graphic novel there! I’m only half joking about putting the limbs up for ransom – the Con has gotten to be hugely popular with the Hollywood crowd and SD downtown hotel rates typically double or even triple the week of the Con, so if you know people in San Diego, start hinting that you may need a place to sleep!

Oh, I can drum up a big local audience in Auckland, NZ if the publishers see fit to add us in the itnerary! I too missed you last visit and have kicked myself ever since….

ooh goodie! Even more to look forward to!
And for the record, I like Glinda’s line from “Wicked” – “Fellow Ozians… let’s Celebrate!”

Dear Ozites [g]–

Actually, the new UK publisher asked me (during a dinner in London earlier this year) if I’d be willing to go Down Under for the new book–so it’s entirely possible that I’ll be in Australia and New Zealand next year for ECHO (if they don’t decide that fuel prices are too hideous by then).

That’s so true Jenereight. Yes I want Diana to concentrate on putting out the next book. But I do envy our American counterparts on having lots of opportunities to meet her.

Oh, I second that thought, ChrissyLass! I had bought Cross Stitch (aka Outlander) along with the next three books, based on a recommendation from an online friend, but not yet read them (I vaguely recall I was trying to work out which one came first, which wasn’t immediately obvious from the covers) and later discovered that not only had our Illustrious Author been in Melbourne, but had even been signing books at my local bookstore, only a week before!
Then I missed her next visit to Oz, as I just couldn’t get away from prior committments that day either
However, if it’s a choice between having Diana working on a shortly-to-be-published work and taking time off to visit us in Australia, I know which one I’d prefer!

Diana,
THANK YOU!! Keep your work coming! I wish you were coming to Australia at some stage – I’ve lots of books for you to sign.

Hello Diana,

While I was never a big comic book reader as a kid, I would love to peruse your graphic novel. I would hope (and I don't know if this is a consideration) that anyone who enjoys the graphic novel form of the work might want to read the full-length version of "Outlander."

No Comic Con in New York next year.

Well, I am not one really for graphic novels, but this one sounds really interesting!!! I think it is neat to have it from Murtagh’s point of view! I am curious about what will happen. Thanks again for sharing!
