Well here I am, back from RWA, exhausted, relieved to be home, and inspired about my career. It's always such a fun time at RWA. I love meeting writers and talking about books and the writing process. I like meeting aspiring writers, and renewing my enthusiasm for the craft through their excitement. I like meeting up with old friends and making new ones.
I always find myself feeling inspired and refreshed creatively after conference. I have alot of writing work in front of me these next two weeks, but I'm excited about digging in making the book(s)the best they can be.
Bran, and the whole Immortals of Annwyn series seemed to be a hit at RWA. Poor Bran was stroked, caressed, and even kissed!!! Those postcards were really a hit. Well, it's the cover art that's the hit. Everyone said the book was going to fly off the shelves! Let's hope so!
One of the highlights for me was meeting up with Barbara from the Happily Forever After blog. What a cool woman, and soooo sweet. I could talk to her forever about romance. And I got to talk to VampFanGirl from Lovin' Me Some Romance. Although it was only over the phone...still, though, it made my day. Both ladies have been instrumental in helping me get the word out about my books, as well as Lea from Closet Writer! I can't say how grateful I am to all three of you for taking hte time to read ARC's and post reviews, not only on your blog, but Amazon, and B&N and Chapters!!!!! Major thanks, and eternal gratitude to all three of you. I'm such a lucky author to have you guys!
What else...oh, the Harlequin party...VERY cool! I had SO much fun!
On the writing front, minimal was accomplished, so it's back into the bat cave I go. I'm sure pics will be lurking on the net of the LIT authors shaking our stuff at the Harlequin party. I'll provide you with links and laughing material once I find them!
Till then, happy reading!!!!!!
