I wish I could afford to attend! I have the first German language translation of a book in my Highway Mysteries series coming out at the end of the month, and it would have been a great opportunity to meet other independent author/publishers from around the world. Maybe next year! I should have at least one more in German, plus the 5th novel in the series out by then.
