Our first convention was a wonderful trip to Iceland, attended by authors and PublishAmerica staff. In Iceland we were greeted by the President of Iceland, who welcomed us into his home, and spoke to us at length. He congratulated us for bringing our authors to his country, and showed us remnants of the Vikings, Iceland's first inhabitants. He also reminded us that his people, the Vikings, had discovered America 1000 years ago, which was 500 years before Columbus. But, he said, that unlike us, the Vikings had had the good sense to leave!

PublishAmerica staff and authors also saw whales, dolphins, geysers, and even ate bread that was cooked underwater, in a boiling hot water spring. It was a very unusual and interesting trip!
