It was great. I didn't talk to Sanderson mainly because I'm totally ignorant of him and his work, and there were other authors I wanted to connect to instead.

First was Connie Willis. I've read just about everything she's written, and she's a wonderful, wonderful human being as well as a great writer. I got to talk with her two or three times over the weekend, and she was lovely.

Steven Gould (Jumper, Wildside, and several others) was also there and I got to talk a bit with him. He has a new book coming out in January, called Impulse which is a sequel to Reflex which is itself a sequel to Jumper. If you have only seen the dreadful movie of the last, forget you ever saw the movie and get the book.

George RR Martin was also there. I'm not a huge fan of his work, just because I don't like that sort of thing, but he seemed quite nice.
