CONFERENCE PICS. . .

The authors share a favorite picture from conferences or signings.


DANA MARTON, DEATHTRAP, June 2013
2006 Atlanta RWA with Ruth GLick and Patricia Rosemoor. We had a ton of fun at the Ritz Carlton at the Harlequin Ball. This is the tamest picture. You should have seen the dancing.














MALLORY KANE, SPECIAL FORCES FATHER, May 2013

Mallory Kane at the masquerade ball at Romfest in Gatlinburg, June 19-23, 2013. I'm the Ghostly Lady on the left. We're the finalists in the costume contest. I didn't win, but may I say,  it was an honor...   








JULIE MILLER, TASK FORCE BRIDE, September 2013

This is a book signing I did with my husband, Scott E. Miller, in Kearney, Nebraska--a college town.  My hubby is a middle school teacher who writes YA historical fiction. It was such fun to share the spotlight with him, even though I was having terrible allergies that day (hence my red face-sigh). It was interesting how our "fans" split--Scott had a lot of kids, naturally, along with college students whom I'm guessing were education majors, while I had lots of their moms and older women in my line.  And we both had a handful of older men who I think simply got tired of waiting for their spouses to finish shopping and wanted someone to talk to. <g>

ANGI MORGAN, PROTECTING THEIR CHILD, May 2013




Here's a picture of the dance floor at my first Harlequin party as an author. Loved it. 





And then another with BJ Daniels, Carol Ericson, Ann Voss Peterson, Rebecca York, Elle James, Delores Fossen, Patricia Rosemoor and me.

My first Harlequin party in 2011 !  I'm with Angi Morgan, Harlequin staff (sorry can't remember names) and Carina author, Amy Atwell.  



AIMEE THURLO, FALCON'S RUN, July 2013
The 50th published novel by Aimee & David Thurlo.

We were given the honor of judging Miss Indian New Mexico. These are the finalists. They weren't chosen on beauty alone, they were chosen for their skills in Native American crafts, and languages. During the pageant, they did things like recite children's bedtime stories in their native language. (You've never heard the story of the 3 Little Pigs till you've heard it in Tiwa.) We also saw the art of placing a child on a cradleboard. The winner  (in green behind me) became an ambassador of all Native Americans in the State of New Mexico. She also went on to Georgetown University. It was an amazing experience!

 HAVE YOU VISITED an RWA National Signing?

  2. I have not attended a RWA event... I was lucky enough last year to have been invited to a local convention though... that was a great experience... can only imagine how much bigger and exciting the larger conventions are like...

    1. They're very exciting, sometimes overwhelming, but seeing romance fans line up for the 500+ authors is amazing!
