I’m supposedly writing a fantasy novella for next year. Maybe I’ll go then!

Bummer.

How can my local library contact you to get you up here?

- Go to area hotels and ask for John. You might be more successful if you wear a dark suit, dark glasses, and flash a fake ID. Contrary to your first impulse, do not say he is a “dangerous fugitive” as this will force John to be on the run and it will be more difficult to stalk him.
- Kidnap a MPBA member’s kitty, then “rescue” the beloved pet, claiming you found him/her. In subsequent conversation, get them to invite you to the trade show.

(I hope the Advanced Stalkers Union doesn’t have rules like magicians do.)

- Stake out the Hilton where it’s located to catch him coming or going. (You may need a friend to help out if there’s a celebrity entrance.)
- Pretend you own a really small, obscure bookstore and join MPBA.
- Get a local bookstore to offer a public booksigning on the same trip.

I’ll see what I can do about the last of these, John.
