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 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...
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>
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.
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!

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

love the pic of Aimee Thurlo and the Miss Indian New Mexico contestants. Angi, thru your Get Lost In the Story blog today, and in a round about way, I got to this blog and to Falcon's Run by Aimee and David. I'm originally from NM, and it was nice to connect with someone from home.
