Emerald City Writer's Conference booksigning, 10/8/05 (4pm-6pm) |
 |
| Here I am signing at the Emerald City conference. I managed to sell all my Touched By Time and most of my Dangerous To Know I've had the most fun I've ever had at this conference. (There's also a pic of me singing karaoke "Paperback Writer" with a bunch of fellow writers but you're not getting to see that one!) |

RWASD April Meeting, San Diego, 4/16/05 |
  |
| Above: Myself and Judith Laik sharing our new-found expertise at the RWASD April 2005 chapter meeting as part of the morning workshop session. We ran out of time! I signed books for fellow chapter members after lunch.. |
Launch of Dangerous To Know at Mysterious Galaxy, 4/9/05 |
 |
| Above: Before I started signing books at Mysterious Galaxy, I talked a bit about how I developed the hero from being a very bad guy and about the number of revisions I went through before I was published. I think I'll take notecards next time. Just about everyone there was someone I knew, except for three people (only one of which came up afterwards to introduce himself!) Also up for grabs were scones, which I confess I made from a mix! |
RWA National 2004, in Dallas, Texas |
 |
| Above: Teresa Bodwell, myself and Judith Laik on the night of the RITA and Golden Heart Awards Ceremony (Saturday, July 31st, 2004). All three of us sold to Kensington as a result of the contest run for guests of the VIC-RWA conference in March, 2004. Teresa came first, Judith and I came equal third. Naturally, we have bonded! |
 |
| Above: myself, Forrest Ashley (Jennifer Ashley's husband) and Shirley Karr in Regency costume during the RWA National conference's booksigning for literacy on Wednesday night (28th July, 2004). We handed out postcards listing all the published Beau Monde (Regency) authors and then had our picture taken. This is actually the best of the pictures that was taken! So I thought, what the hey, and gave it a gold frame and a canvas texture--now it looks like a somewhat impressionistic painting! |
RWASD Meeting, May 2004 |
 |
Above: Making my announcement about my two-book sale to Kensington/Zebra during the chapter meeting. Can you tell I'm breathless? For each romance sale, an RWASD author gets a red rose. As you can see, I'm clutching two! |
