I meant to blog about the wonderful book signing and Maggie dessert reception yesterday, but didn’t get the chance to do so. Both were great events, though separate, so I’ll go into each one individually.

I had some wonderful authors at the book signing: Kelley St. John who has a new book out in a few weeks called To Catch A Cheat, Barbara Caridad Ferrer who writes as Caridad Ferrer for her amazing YA novels and Kathleen Long who writes exciting romantic suspense and wickedly funny romantic comedy. They were gorgeous and graciously put up with me snapping photos of them.

Kelley St. John

Colby Hodge who isn’t mine, but who is wonderful!

Alyssa Day (also not mine, but I’ll claim her).

We then continued onto the Maggie awards and dessert reception. That was a lot of fun. We did a little dancing, laughed a lot and enjoyed cake. It was an evening to remember.

We didn’t even make it out of the room before snapping photos. Ignore the mess in the background.

Looking gorgeous.

Dianna Love Snell looking absolutely fabulous in her dress.

Here is Barb with Berta Platas, who is wonderful, warm and hilarious. Her books are no different than she is so be ready for a good time when reading them.

Colby Hodge and moi.

Alesia and Dianna.

I had a great time, am truly excited about some of the projects I asked to see (others I’m tentatively hopeful about, but I don’t want to let myself get too excited before I actually see the material—ie, no snoopy dance yet), and impatient to be back home to get to some of the wonderful manuscripts and proposals sent in my absence.
