For those of you who I met at the Lori Foster’s Convention, I am honored to have met you in person. And for those of you who I never met until then, you are beautiful new friends. Thank you for the laughter, the fun, and for the discussions of the heart as well as publishing and writing.
I laughed so hard with Trinity and Jade that my belly muscles were sore two days later. And the cool thing about the convention was that I finally got to put faces to the names that I see online.
Trinity and moi.
The amount of raffle baskets, bags, and other lovely methods of putting together prizes for a giveaway boggled my mind. Now I’m one of those folks that never wins anything, so when I won a li’l door prize AND a beautiful wooden birdcage crammed with lovely and shiny books, I was ecstatic (although Trinity and Jade couldn’t restrain themselves and had to delve into the books, shame-shame, girls! LOL!)
This is Trin’s donated basket. Isn’t it pretty? And it’s the only one I saw that had something unique like the doll.

Lovely Alyce, aspiring m/m author and publishing reporter. She’s a cool lady. (you can see my table nametag too on the right)
Author Blake Deveraux enjoying a fruit martini as he talks publishing, writing, and life with us.
The birdcage basket with books that I won. (See that cord behind it? I know I put it in my suitcase when I left, but I’ll be darned if I can find it now. Dell.com here I come…sigh)

I attended a couple of presentations. Also I offered some editor appointments; as a result I met some lovely aspiring authors.

Hey Faith! It was great to finally meet the woman who set me on the road to better writing. LOL Maybe next year we’ll get to really party.

Oh I forgot, is it possible for Jade to look any more like you? LOL She’s a beauty. You’d better lock those doors.

So YOU’RE the one who beat me out on the birdcage! I’m not as jealous as I would have been, b/c I got a great basket, too.
We passed each other this year–I hope we’ll meet each other next. See you in June, ‘10.
