6. Connie Willis is the friendliest person ever.

When I first started going to Mile Hi and Bubonicon (in Albuquerque and points to everyone who gets the name) and she was always there, I was in such awe of her I could barely speak. I did get a photo taken of the two of us (long since gone because I didn't save it properly) and was utterly thrilled.

Connie is smart, the friendliest person in the world, and totally approachable. Her husband Courtney recently retired from teaching physics in college, and he's equally friendly and approachable. They're happy to let someone like me join them in the restaurant.

I LOVE "To Say Nothing of the Dog." I know Connie has another book in that world that should be coming out sometime soon. I did forget to ask her if she had a publication date, and I don't know if she has a title.

One fun thing is that when she's scheduled to do a reading, her fans mostly just want to chat with her. And she's also happy to do that.
