Fun in San Antonio!

I recently went to Romance Writers of America's national writers conference in San Antonio, Texas. My was it HOT!  I left Oregon wearing a jacket and arrived in Texas to shed the jacket and pants in favor of a dress. The conference lasted for four days.  I came home exhausted and revved to dive back into my stories. 

                          I signed books and gave away chocolate for the literacy signing.

I connected with some of my Northwest friends.

Authors Leah Vale, Jenna Bayley-Burke, Linda Aicher, Shelli Stevens.

My publisher does a writing contest every year.  Go to www.soyouthinkyoucanwrite.com for more information.

Here I am at the Harlequin party with authors Danica Favorite and Allie Plieter

Here I am at the Harlequin party with the fabulous Lenora Worth. 

She mentored me before I was published.

One night I took a river cruise.

 Of course I had to go to the Alamo.

 I met up with some of my Love Inspired friends.  That is the best part of conference.  Seeing people I regally 'talk' to via email/online.
