Sydney asked Shannon Messenger:

My sister and I are huge fans of you and kotlc. We were wondering if you knew about bookcon and were wondering if you could come. Also, we are not sure how old you have to be to go to these cons and not feel awkward and immature. We know you have experience with cons so we just thought we'd ask. We live in New York, so any visit here would be appreciated. Especially on your Neverseen tour! But book con works too?

Shannon Messenger Aw, yay for being fans! And I do know about bookcon. The tricky thing about a convention like that is, you have to be invited by the organizers. So if they ever invited me I'd be happy to go. But if not, alas, alack.

Same kind of goes with book tours, in the sense that I don't get to choose where I go. My publisher chooses where they send me, for all kinds of reasons. So it would be awesome to come to NY someday--but I have no idea if it'll happen. Here's hoping it will.
