I live not too far from Albany, NY. The bookstore is Flights of Fantasy:
http://www.fof.net/ The owner is a big fan of pretty much every author I like too (including romance authors as well as SFF), so she tends to have a lot of great authors come in. Next week, she's having Lois McMaster Bujold in for a signing and I can't wait. Bujold is also the Guest of Honor at the local SF convention this weekend, but I can't afford to go.

I wish I had the room to let all the Anne Bishop fans camp out here and we could all go the signings together. FOF does sell signed books for people who can't make it to the signings though. I went recently and saw a bunch of Kristen Britain's signed books. I didn't even know she was going to do a signing there. [img]smilies/cry.gif[/img]
BTW, I started
Pillars last night. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
