The blog may be a bit quiet this week because I'm off first thing tomorrow for the big Romance Writers of America National Conference in DC. Crazy schedule, but I'm excited because I'll be spending time with some of my wonderful authors, including, in no particular order:
Rosemary Clement-Moore: RITA finalist for HELL WEEK, the second in her great Maggie Quinn: Girl vs. Evil series
Crystal Jordan: erotica author extraordinaire
Susan Krinard: amazing and bestselling paranormal romance writer
Janet Mullany: wonderfully edgy author who wears many hats, including presenter of "Writing the Hot Historical" with me and Pam Rosenthal at the conference
(I just spotted this
great write up including her new Immortal Jane Austen series in PW.)
Michele Lang: two words "LADY LAZARUS" - look for it in 2010
Jasmine Haynes/
Jennifer Skully/
JB Skully:
Debra Mullins: award-winning historical romance writer
Karen Whiddon: author of the tres popular Pack series for Nocturne
Vicky Dreiling: whose debut novels we've just sold to Warner Forever/Grand Central Publishing for publication in 2011
Not to mention the parties, the chocolate, the Oscar-style RITA Award Ceremony. Sigh. Life is hard.
I'm especially excited about the "Readers for Life" Literacy Signing event on Wednesday evening from 5:30 to 7:30 at the
Washington Marriott Wardham Park at 2660 Woodley Road NW , Washington, D.C. Just check out this
amazing line-up. I'll be there with
