MY FIVE ABOUT THE WEEKEND

Virginia Kantra, Suzanne Brockmann, and moi

The New England Chapter of RWA conference over the weekend was a blast. I thought I'd share my five favorites about the experience.

1. Riding with four other writers. We had a blast yakking the whole way. What do you expect of word people? And one of us yakked more than the others. Hint: it wasn't me.

2. The goody tables. I got to put out my lovely pens and my first promo material about Primal Obsession for others to admire my fabulous cover. A humbling experience. Other writers brought their material too, so mine didn't take center stage.

3. Networking and meeting new people. I met some new authors, including Eileen Rendahl, Eileen Cook, and Kathryn Smith. I met agents Deidre Knight and Elaine Spencer. Ooh, and I met the SEAL, who answers all Suzanne Brockmann's questions for her books.

4. Hanging out with friends and other MERWA pals in the bar. Nuff said.

5. Sitting at the luncheon with Virginia Kantra and Suz Brockmann. Suz and I met at another conference year ago when her Intimate Moments SEALs books were just getting attention. And Virginia was one of the first IM authors to welcome me to the line.
