Over the past few days, TV & film studios have started announcing their shows and stars who will be appearing at this year’s San Diego Comic Con but what about the publishers? What about the book lovers who want to see their favorite authors, hear about their upcoming books, and plan ahead for it? Just 3 weeks away and all readers can hang onto is the occasional tweet from an author or rumor about an appearance.
