Conference Time!

Happy Wednesday Everyone,

There's a lot of people gearing up for Conferences. Romance Writers Of America (RWA)--the writers' group I'm a member of, is hosting it's annual conference in New York City this year. Unfortunately, I will have to miss it, but I know several people from my chapter are going, many of the authors I've mentioned here (I don't know all who are going, I don't have the final count, but several of them are).

My friend and fabulous author, Jane Heller was talking about on her blog, Mainly Jane about a conference she's attending, the Santa Barbara Writers Conference.

In the Fall, I plan to attend the annual NWHRWA Lone Star Conference (October 15, 2011).

So are you attending a writer's conference? If so, which one?

No writer's conference but a quick trip to North Carolina has turned into a real family reunion with a two coming in from other states to see me and my sister (and her daughter).One, I have never met in person; the others, we have not seen in many many years...(longer than you have been on Earth, Bethany!)Our last aunt will be there.Then , we will visit our cousin from my mother's side.We were close as kids, but we have not seen her in a long time.I only know her husband and children from phone conversations. So if you don't hear from me until next week, you'll know why...I have a good reason.
"See" you when I get back!

Tonette,

I hope you have a wonderful time with your family. I used to love family reunions. When I was a kid, we'd go up north (to Michigan) every year and hang out with both sides of the family. One of my Dad's sisters (and her husband) own a lake house that used to belong to my grandfather so they'd host family get-togethers, buffet-style dinners and swimming and boat rides out there (still do it, but we don't get up there every year).

Hey now, I haven't given my actual age on here, and I'm not sure I told you what my age is so don't go assuming LOL

Perhaps in the Fall you can come on down for the Lone Star Conference, that would be cool. We always have a blast. Thank you for dropping by and have a safe and good trip :-)

I'm attending both the National RWA conference and the NWHRWA Lone Star Conference and plan to host the Wine, Cheese and Chocolate party at each of them. So look for me around the conference and I'll give you the details

Wish I was going to Nationals, but it just didn't pan out this year. Looking forward to the Lone Star Conference in Oct! :)

Melissa,

You and me both! Lone Star is so much fun. Thank you for dropping by :-)

It's Worth A Fortune

Happy Tuesday Everyone, Does anyone remember the song If I Had A Million Dollars by Barenaked Ladies ? I can't remember when or how I was first introduced to this song, but it's a fun song. So, how about if you had a million dollars? What would you do with it? Of course there's the responsible things to do with a million dollars--pay off debts, and such like that. Then there's the question of whether or not you give to charities, and how much. But, suppose you answered all those questions and you still had quite a lot left; what would you do with it? Maybe I'd go to Disney World. I've wanted to go, and I've never been able to. Or, perhaps I'd go to Germany and England, and Belgium (three of the countries my ancestors are from). Travel around seeing family and friends I don't see often. There's all kinds of possibilities. So, what about you? What would you do with a million dollars? Have A Tremendous Tuesday!

It's All About August..

  Hi Everyone! End of August is coming up, and thus, it's time for a monthly update from yours truly. Currently, I'm waiting on some responses on queries for Sugar & Frost . There's been a bit more interest since #UnhingedPit and #questpit, so that's great. I love this story so much, that I'm happy with other people get interested. As far as I'm concerned, it's a fun read. I call it the "book of my heart" because it's just exactly something I'd pick up as a reader and cuddle up with a comfy blanket in a chair, couch, or in bed, with something hot to drink and just enjoy. I also dedicated it to my siblings, so there is a personal aspect to it, too. Other manuscripts:  Moonrise Pack: Shifter Secrets (YA Fantasy, wolf shifters, sweet romance) is in edits--I finally sat down and started working on it. I'm not very far along in the editing, yet, but hopeful about polishing it. I had made a poster for it for #PosterPit since they allow W...

Spotlight On Author: Loretta Wheeler

Happy Tuesday Everyone, There's a gem of an author I've had the privilege of coming across...I'm talking about my friend, Loretta Wheeler. She's a sweetheart and very talented author. I enjoyed her YA Paranormal novella, The Pan Man immensely. And, she also writes Romance. So without further ado, come into my parlor and meet Loretta Wheeler: Me:  In your YA novelette, The Pan Man , you mention Pan's looking for his long lost soul mate. What made you choose Pan out of all the Greek/Roman gods and goddesses? Loretta:  I chose the Greek god Pan, because of the connection with the music. I found later on in the story, (my stories take over and write themselves usually) it applied even more than I realized because of the band's name. I won't mention the name of the band in here, because it's part of the surprise ending. Me:  You're mostly known for your Romance stories. How would you describe your writing style? Hot, suspenseful, sensual, sw...
