It occurred to me while looking at the calendar that – brace yourself for a big shock! – we’re more than halfway through March already. First, a plea to our Secret Alien Overlords: PLEASE stop messing with the space-time continuum! I know you’re making the days fly by faster than they should!
Ahem, with that out of the way, let’s talk travel. In less than a month, I’ll be at the Romantic Times convention in Chicago, Illinois along with a brief pit stop at the Chicago Comic and Entertainment Expo. If you’re attending either of those and would like to see me, here is my schedule. And *grin* if you wouldn’t like to see me, but you do want a chance at reading Once Burned two months early, I’ll be giving away a couple copies at some of the panels (confirmations to follow pending permission from conference staff).

In addition to RT and C2E2, I’ve just been informed that my publisher is sending me on tour for Once Burned’s release. I don’t have any cities or dates on that yet, but once I do, I’ll be sure to post the info.
Also, I’ll be at the Authors After Dark convention in New Orleans, LA this August. Right now my schedule is as follows. For anyone in New Orleans who wants to say howdy in person, but who isn’t attending the convention, in addition to the book signing that’s open to the public, I am adding a “come one, come all” meetup at Cafe Beignet in the French Quarter (date/time to follow in future post).
Authors After Dark:
Thursday, August 9th
12:00 – 1:00pm – Bookie Awards and luncheon
10pm – 11:30pm – “Late Night Sweets with Jeaniene Frost and Pam Palmer.
Join Jeaniene Frost and Pamela Palmer for gourmet cupcakes, yummy chocolate, friendly conversation, and free books!

Hope to see some of you at these events! Again, once I find out where my publisher is sending me for Once Burned’s release, I’ll post the info. To all the “But when are you coming to ____ state/country!” the answer is maybe one day. The US – and the world – is a big place and there’s only so many cities/states/countries I can travel to while still meeting my deadlines, blogging, answering emails, running a small business, and showing my family that yes, they still matter, too :).
I wish I could go! *pouts* I’d be there in a heartbeat if I could. 🙁
I really wish I could go to any or all of these. They sound like so much fun. I really can’t wait for the release date on the next Cat & Bones book ah sad face no matter when it is it will be long.
All of these events are in Chicago?

You are going to like it…really.
Debi
Yep, I wish I could go too. Both Jeaniene and Ilona are there. We might have been able to discuss more about the Pimp J fund.
So jealous! Although, while you’re hanging out with Debi, I’ll be home with Hot Hands. 😉
I’m so glad you’ll be at C2E2!!! (I couldn’t afford RomanticTimes). Can’t wait to see you on the panel! I only wish Ilona could be on it, too. 🙂
That is so cool ,wish I could go ,some day it be cool if you could come down to Houston tx for us fang lovers and other paranormal folks that find it a little tuff to fly about ….Cat and Bones were my first grown up addition ,so I can’t wait till Vlad and Once Burned
If u came to Las Vegas I will luv u so much more lol plz come by if u can 😉
Dear Jeaniene, When do you think you will be coming to Cleveland Ohio or somewhere near there?
HUGE fan!!!!
Marie
I wish I could go there… but I think it’s a little bit too far away from here (Germany) *sighs*
I’ll see ya at AADNOLA. I have my ticket for Late Night Sweets and I can’t wait!
If only you would make appearances in Aus! I know you would if you could and that writing books in the time that you do takes a lot out of you and leaves you not much time. But one day, maybe!
Have a good week and fun at all these events!
Nat.
I would love to come and see you. but I live in canada and well Have no holiday’s left to go and vist. Do you think you will be coming to canada at all?
Sometimes living in Europe sucks!
Have fun … 🙂
Jeaniene,
Cannot wait to see you at AAD in New Orleans – I think this one is going to be a hoot!!
Wow great books so far. I really enjoy reading these kinds of books. Would enjoy making to one of your appearances sometime if you ever do one in Florida close to Orlando. Can’t wait to read more. Very hard to put the book down when I start. Thank you.
I really hope you our meet and greet “come one,come all” is before the convention starts(before the 8th)! I live in New Orleans, but I have to leave on the 8th to attend a wedding out of state. Even of I don’t get I meet you I hope you enjoy our city!!!!
