Thoroughly enjoyed the Conference in Orlando!
I had a blast in Orlando. The ultimate highlight was meeting Emily, my publisher, and Jane, my editor, for the first time. What special, special people. I'm blessed to be in their company. Phyllis and I also had fun meeting authors and readers and making new friends. I signed my first books. Kinda cool. lol One thing I was very careful about was the spelling of names. I even asked twice sometimes. Met Megan Magill who writes with Regal Crest. She introduced herself to me. She recognized my name from a forum and she remembered I was born in Oxfordshire, England. Banbury to be exact. She's from Oxfordshire, too. We had several wonderful chats in the time we were there. I also met Rachel Spangler who publishes with Bold Strokes Books. She won two Goldies, one for debut author and one for best romance. OMG. I haven't laughed that much in years. She's a hoot. There were others there I loved meeting: Lori Lake, Brenda Adcock, Kate Sweeney, Georgia Beers, KG MacGregor.... It was a magical time, which it should have been really. After all, we were at the "Magic Kingdom." :-) I've been working on my latest these past couple of days and feel good about the first 100 pages. I'm still reworking the rest. I hope it'll all meld together. Okay. It's late and I'm pooped. See ya!
