I would love to attend Romance in the City of these years, since it's so close, and always draws a ton of amazing romance authors.

I could have waited on the line for Dessen at BookCon, but I always elect to do the panels when I go, but I don't remember Cotugno ever being around here. A lot of the authors local to me will do book stores or even moderate store events. SJM was at Ivory & Bone release, and Claire LeGrande moderated for Obsidio. So, absolutely plausible for Bennett to do something in your area.
