Okay, we've decided we need to start every conference experience meeting
people like this great group! Here are Romance
Junkies Cat, Terri and Isabelle. (Sorry for the poor quality of
the pic. Ugh.) |

And, of course, no conference would be complete without the eHarlequin.com
gang and Harlequin Exec Ed Birgit Davis Todd. The e-gang from left
to right: Heather "Rae", Danica "Dream" and Dee! |

Then there are the buds we go way back with. Here are Marge Smith
aka Elizabeth Sinclair,
and Ellen "Red-Bite Me" Breen, and new pal Heather. |

Among the first to visit us at the Literacy signing were Helena, Gaye
Walton and Shey (who replenished our supply of Tim-Tams and lots of
fun Australian goodies! Thanks, sweetie. And tell Mom we missed her). |

It was great seeing Lynn Lee and Cai! |

Simply Fabulous! Not only does that describes these women, it's
the name of their new, slammin' PR firm! There's Shannon Short to
the left and Michelle Gomez to the right (I'm afraid I'll mess up
the names of the other two so I'm not going to try. Feel free to
thwap me!<vbg>). Check out more info at www.simplyfabulousauthors.com
|

Lynda!!! We can't believe she had nearly every book we've ever written
in tow. We were more than happy to sign each and every one of our
babies for you, sweetie! And YOU! What a pleasure... |

Danica aka Dream and her darlin' husband and daughter (aren't they
like the cutest damn thing you've ever seen?). |

BAM! Apropos, I think, that Margaret Terwey is a buyer for Books-a-Million
'cause she's a real powerhouse as well as exremely nice.
|

Nancy (we didn't get to see your pjs, woman. Hmm, that didn't sound
right, somehow<vbg>)! Vivacious Barb Hoeter of Romance
and Friends and Sensational Cissy Hartley of Writerspace.com! |

Rob Preece is always a conference fav, and this year he was a Golden
Heart Finalist. Go, Rob! And, of course, Patti Fischer is more like
a sister than a pal. We love you, sweetie! |

Mo!!!!! Yes, guys, this is the fantabulous Maureen Boylan, posing
with Tony and Patti. |

Julie, Heather "Rae", Dee and Tanya Starrat who is destined
to be a starr! |

Great fam from Minnesota, the final state on our Baklava Express Tour! |

Ah, yes, what can we possibly say about Kristen Painter that will
do this woman justice? That's she's a romance diva? Doesn't cover
it all, somehow, but check her out for yourself at www.romancedivas.com! |

LizBee!!!!! Elizabeth Bevarly
is a among one of the first people we met and clicked with at our
second RWA conf and will always hold the title of dear friend. |
