I’m here! Yep, tired and still recovering, but I’m back from RT. It was a memorable one, that’s for sure. I didn’t bring my camera, so I have no picture, but there are plenty around on the web.
Barbara Vey has some marvelous pictures and video on her Publisher’s Weekly Beyond the Book blog. There is one of me with Jennifer Martin (a.k.a. Ashleigh Raine) when Jen won an ebook reader (*jealous*).
There are some on Janice Lynn’s blog from the Mr. Romance pageant. One of the contestants caused a stir when he had to be escorted from the hotel. I’m sure there are plenty of curious minds, but my info is second-hand so I’ll leave the telling of the tale to someone else.
Sarah from Smart Bitches has a photo diary up as well if you want to browse. This is my favorite - believe it or not, it’s Billy Jo from Romance Junkies. She looked gorgeous!
In this picture of Sylvia Day, that’s me in the pink shirt in the background guarding the books. I helped out my Allure author pals during their safari party.
For me, I reconnected with old friends, made new ones and had a lot of fun. The highlight of my convention was meeting Kate Duffy from Kensington who told me I was a “wonderful, wonderful” writer. I can hear the squeeing in my head still echoing.
I brought home half a suitcase of promo items and books which I’ll be giving away. My Sexy Spurs subscribers get promo packs along with a lucky poster on my blog. I’ll announce the winner of the RT promo pack tomorrow - I haven’t had a chance to sort through everything yet!
Today is my wonderful son’s 12th birthday. He is a great kid and I’ll be serving up finger foods and chocolate cake tonight along with presents. Hope y’all had a fabulous weekend!
