Pittsburgh 2008 Romantic Time's Conference


Okay, I told
them I wasn't going to post this, but I really like it. (grin)
Here I am with
Jocelynn Drake (in the back, and
Rachel
Vincent. (across from me.) The
kitchen was really slow in the hotel, so we got out and wandered
around for about a block and found a quiet place to grab a quick
bite to eat between my panels.

My first panel, with Jeannie Stein, Caridad
Pineiro, L.A. Banks (with who I'm standing with) myself, and
Rosemary Lauren.
We had a great time, but wow, was it hot in
there! It was fantastic having a chance talk to Ms. Banks again,
but alas, we did not meet on the dance floor this year. (grin) |
 |
Second panel, Finding that Razor's Edge.
I saw someone I knew in the crowd, and I lost my entire train of
thought, proving that I am, who I am. (grin) A itsy,
bitsy, ditzy. ;-) But once I got going, it was a great
panel.

|
Me, Liz, and Marianne at the Rebels of
Romance chocolate challenge. . . . It will be showing up
on utube eventually, but for now, here's a still. I had a
great time!

|

My third panel, Me, Caitlin
Kittredge, Carole Nelson Douglas, Jackie Kessler,
Miriam Kriss, (with Irene Goodman
Literary Agency) Mark Henry, and Richelle
Mead.

The highlight of the day was receiving from
the RT reviewers, the 2007 Reviewers Choice Award for Best Urban
Fantasy Protagonist for Rachel Morgan from FOR A FEW DEMONS MORE.
Yay, yay, yay! I'm still so excited and honored. The
plaque went up about thirty minutes after I got home. And on a
personal note, I've never seen so many people before in one spot as in
the awards banquette. Tink's panties, there were a lot of
people. ;-) I was positively stage struck. |

The Mass Author Signing

The Mass Author Signing! I look
forward to this every time I go to RT. It's my favorite event.
Here I am with all my books before the doors open. Trust me,
they didn't last long. ;-)
|
And five minutes after the doors opened,
the chaos started. ;-)
|
 |
 
Me and a couple of readers. ;-)
I had to do the lean over the table thing since I wasn't on the end
of a row. Blahhh, but it worked out okay.

One of the best parts of a mass signing is
getting a chance to meet your own favorite authors. Here's me
with
Rachel Vincent,
and then with Marjorie M. Liu
before everything got started and we were all relaxed. Course,
I already knew Rachel . . . (grin) but it was really cool
seeing her sign books. Made it all the more real for me.
