[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]

Spike

Either entrance is acceptable swag. Both happening within ten minutes? BAMF.

Regina/The Evil Queen

Fact: Misandry multiplies swag by a factor of X, where X = "number of men flung around with extreme prejudice."

[The Originals]

Marcel

(1)(2)

Possibly I should've disqualified Marcel because I'm fairly sure his first entrance is actually that screencap up there? Not that he doesn't have a daylight right, he just prefers to be carried around. This century's hottest accessory for the worthy challenger to the Original Hybrid? SWAG.

[Pirates of the Caribbean]

Captain Jack Sparrow

I'm not sure he wins, but he inspired the list, and also? Swag.

[Supernatural]

Castiel

Electricity cannot handle his swagger. (Sourced in scrapbook?)

[The West Wing]

Of swagtastic note is the fact that you don't even notice the badass deficit that should occur, given that he's walking into a roomful of people who have spent their day discussing this:

swaggiest entrance?

I’ve never been one for big cities. In some ways, I think of it as an extension of my introversion. Big cities = too many people, too much going on, and I get twitchy just thinking about it.

But I’ve watched my fellow authors do the occasional New York trip to visit with editors and agents, and it’s been strongly advised by a number of folks that I do the same, especially with the relative success of Libriomancer.

So when I received an invitation to moderate the Adult Book Bloggers Panel at Book Expo of America in New York, I was happy to say yes. I’m even happier now that I’ve been chatting with my panelists, including Sarah from Smart Bitches, Trashy Books — the woman responsible for making me do this — along with Mandi from Smexy Books and Rebecca from The Book Lady’s Blog.

My BEA schedule, excluding meetings and such, looks like so:

• 5/29, 11:15 a.m. – 12:05 p.m. — Book Blogging Panel.
• 5/31, 3:30 p.m. – 4 p.m. — Signing at the SFWA table.
• 6/1, 12 p.m. – 12:30 p.m. — “Meet the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America,” with myself, Jeri Smith-Ready, and Leanna Renee Hieber.

I am both excited and a bit intimidated. I’ve been to NYC once in my life, helping a friend move, and that was more than a decade ago. On the other hand, I’ll be spending time with a lot of great people, and attending an event devoted to the awesomeness of books. How can you not love that?

So blogging will be light to nonexistent next week. This will be my first time at BEA, and my second time in NYC (the first was more than a decade ago, helping a friend move, and I didn’t see that much of the city). My plan is to try to have fun, hopefully collect some books, and shamelessly gawk at everything.

Wish me luck, and if you’re going to be at BEA, then I hope to see you there!
