I will NOT be signing before or after panels, at parties, during lunch or breakfast or dinner, at the urinal, in the elevator, on the street, in the hall.  ONLY at the autograph table.  If the lines are as long as they usually are, I&#8217;ll only be signing one book per person.<\/p>\n<p> See you in Helsinki!<\/p>\n<p> <iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/l.lj-toys.com\/?auth_token=sessionless%3A1507060800%3Aembedcontent%3A7059164%26930%26%260%26youtube%26KoTR8sBGfyY%3A47a88ad19bd98c350255247b4a3adcbef3d4f129&amp;source=youtube&amp;vid=KoTR8sBGfyY&amp;moduleid=930&amp;preview=0&amp;journalid=7059164&amp;noads=\" class=\"lj_embedcontent\" allowfullscreen=\"\" name=\"embed_7059164_930\" style=\"height: 403.2px;\" width=\"320\" height=\"400\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The World Science Fiction Convention is only a few weeks away.
